Does blame itself matter though? Can we steer opinions with such a thing and make real change or is that ability an illusion, and blame a …verbal masturbation?

eldebryn@lemmy.world 4 days agoFrankly, between blaming welfare and going for eugenics or blaming capitalism and going for socialism I’d much prefer the latter.

I’d argue it does. You can’t improve things if you don’t first identify what the root cause of the problem is.

That was the early America I grew up in. We were taught to value the garbage man. We were taught to value anyone contributing to society. We were also taught to contribute to society. We had the history channel and uniform education where we all agreed on what happened in the past. We had media that would highlight noteable people and positive events in communities. You used to get the local TV spotlight by being a good person not a bad person. Anyway, the list could go on, but we could make America great again by bringing back some of the more socialist policies and educational practices that we had not even 20-30 years ago. We’ve been a socialist country since we decided public education for all and created social security. You don’t have to keep ramming the division part dude. You can just advocate for popular socialist policies. It’s way easier. Medicare for all. Improve public education, increase access to information, restore local media.
Seriously, a lot of you leftists are more detrimental to socialist policies than any of the right wing. Think about how you advocate. The only difference between capitalism and socialism is how we allocate the capital and align it with social values.

Don’t fucking tone-police me. I’m not a politician idgaf about being palpable or “appealing to all sides”.
Being rude doesn’t make someone wrong and appealing to everyone doesn’t make one right either.
I want socialism, education and welfare and decent living standarda for all. I want fascists and the multimillionaire class to stop existing. That’s it, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.
People need to be willing to accept that their votes have been supporting fascists and going against their best interests and they need to be willing to consider a different perspective for that. It’s not my responsibility to cater to those that spent their lives shitting on the very possibility of critical thinking.
