Comment on People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off.
naticus@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThey’re snubbing their noses at you because you’re gatekeeping what it means to be committed to a cause. People need to keep their jobs out of responsibility and necessity and you are telling them it’s not good enough. You’re posing a false dichotomy about what it means to be committed. When the protest is over, they still need to pay bills.

Their snubbing their nose because they cant imagine a world where they have to do something beyond the bare minimum.
You can call me a gate keeper but the gate is wide open.
Yes, yes, I have to pay bills they have to pay bills we should all do are best not to disrupt the system and be compliant with our owners.

Generalizations will get you no where. You don’t know what’s going on with other people and there are plenty of activists who do more than you give them credit for. Tell me exactly how going to a protest during a work day actually promotes your cause over taking a day off, because my coworkers and my job are not my enemy here. Maybe yours is, but that’s not universal.

Then go barf, I don’t frankly give a shit. Your work situation apparently is so garbage that you feel that everyone’s is. No, mine has always been very supportive, from the top down to my level. I’d put my team up against any team out there because they give a shit about how I’m doing personally. We’ve gone through a lot, and we have respect for each other on a personal level.
My previous job though? Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely was toxic. I did that for 23 years. I have plenty of perspective on this and have seen other colleagues in other organizations having similar situations. Mine isn’t and I would always try to give my team a heads up when I won’t be available.
Maybe start with getting a job that respects you as an individual first before telling me I should just ditch work.
