Careful, every American on Lemmy has about 6 or 7 thought-stopping cliches ready to defend their cowardly fucking inaction.
Murican here. I just lack a spine like the rest of my countrymen. No sense making excuses.
You probably also have access to food and basic infrastructure and services. That gives you incentive not to risk your life violently overthrowing the government.
Give it some time.
I don’t respect the position, but I appreciate that you’ve got more integrity than just about everyone else I get responses from.
Probably don't want to die tbh
The fact that you're posting this means you're not dead or in prison, which thought-stopping cliche will you use to explain your cowardly 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.
Honestly? People who are living paycheck to paycheck have MORE reasons to risk everything and FAR fewer excuses for allowing the status quo to persist. Who the fuck do you think should be burning shit down if not the people most victimized by it?
Right, let me book a flight to another country whose citizens can't be bothered to fight back on their own to show them how it's done.
sure just advocate for violence that you wouldnt commit yourself.
Didn't say I wouldn't. Just said I'm not going to fly to other countries to do it.
What should I do?
Reddit-ass forum moderation
I am more than pleased to be proven wrong.
This pleases you?! That is fucking sickening.
It does. Greatly. Every time I’ve checked my phone for about a year I’ve been disappointed not to see today’s headline.
Criticize them to the core, and they write a robot replier just for you.
Their post history doesn’t reflect that from the two pages I skimmed.
In fact the only thing bad I saw was you harassing them and mods deleting your posts.
