Careful, every American on Lemmy has about 6 or 7 thought-stopping cliches ready to defend their cowardly fucking inaction.

Do you expect people who are living paycheck to paycheck to give up their lives to die, be homeless or permanently disabled?

Do you imagine people in Nepal to have big savings accounts and investments in NVidia?

Truth is - if you are not bothered enough by the situation to risk your confort and way of life, then you are ok with the situation and accept it.

What a wild take.

Im so glad most of this type of discourse is contained to a platform like Lemmy. This place is basically 4chan for armchair leftists.

Yeah, this place shockingly has less nuance than Reddit did. Maybe not shockingly, since it seems to cater to a very specific group of people.

You're a "good german", is all.

Thanks for proving my point lmao. Im a "good german" because id rather not suffer irreparable damage to my body and psyche.

Jesus christ. The only people who talk like this are highly privileged idiots.

100%. Anyone pretending to disagree with this is just trying to assuage their guilt for being huge cowards.
