Social violence is still violence. The ruling class tries its best to blur the lines and make it seem okay because it’s legal. But in many cases social violence is even more deadly than regular violence. Most people understand that, which is why the ruling class needs a strong police state in order to feel safe.

‘Don’t care’ often means that they don’t want to acknowledge our existence and thus block measures that make our existence possible like trans healthcare or anti discrimination laws. Effectively it’s the same as being anti-trans.
To be fair, a lot of corruption is legal in the US. Drumpf and Melon are making it worse though.
Conservatism is inherently anti-trans. I’d rather not have anyone on lemmy argue against my right to self determination.
Zelensky is deeply unpopular among Ukrainians and if the war ends it will become clear that Zelensky basically sold off all public sectors to private investors from the US. Ukraine has been sucked dry, beaten to shit and lost most of its men. It will take a long time to recover if they’re even allowed to.
Directing the attention towards the voters instead of the democratic party is a deliberate tactic to create division among the working class. The democratic party has way more power than your neighbour who didn’t vote. Getting angry at your neighbour will only alienate them further. It’s a waste of energy.
Gaza cola is located in the UK and their profits go to hospitals in Gaza.
Join the union and find out. Most unions are still following the old ineffective strategy of advocacy instead of organising. But they are usually somewhat democratic so you do have a say in that.
The European elite love Trump and Vance, just like the American elite. What’s more elite than the richest people on earth?
Jane McAlevey No Shortcuts: Organising for Power in the New Gilded Age is a great book to learn about unions and union strategy
A strike takes a lot of preparation, most of which is unionising and convincing your coworkers to join the strike when it’s time. A strike at a workplace is only successful if 75% of workers join in on it. Some US unions are ready for it, but a lot aren’t. If you want to contribute, join a union or start unionising. Resistance is built from the bottom up and strong unions are the most effective method.
Read Jane McAlevey No Shortcuts: Organising for Power in the New Gilded Age to learn about how to make a successful union and how powerful a successful union can be.
