What else do you propose with 5M people out of a nation of 340M?
The signs on sticks are meant to engage the disengaged. The goal is to increase our numbers, not feed our small resistance to prisons and give Trump a reason to enact the Insurrection Act.

“Violence is the only answer but I will commit none of it and yell at people online to do it for me instead” something along those lines probably

A sign saying “Smile!” Is actually a microagression against people with bad/no teeth. It’s actually very toxic and hateful. So much for the tolerant left.

There are too many Trump supporters… and they’re multiplying at least in my area. Change will happen only when they start becoming self aware.
TLDR: We fucked.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Lol I love the sentiment because they are multiplying. But then you’re like “it is their lack of self awareness that is the problem”
We are the ones that lack awareness. The reason they are growing in numbers and electing idiots like Trump is that we are not connecting or engaging regular people. I have watched people in places like r/fuckcars advocate for deflating random people’s tires while on their way to work. They act like that’s the way to win these things. Meanwhile Trump supporters are on a lake getting drunk and blasting Creed and launching fireworks. Like there is a very serious lack of self awareness on the left. Most aren’t even aware that there is a very serious decline. They’re all just waiting for someone else to fix it all.

yeah poor car drivers, they are the real victims in this whole shit /s
Seriously it’s crazy how privileged first world idiots are to think having a car isn’t a luxury. The cheapest car in america costs more than a yearly worldwide median salary.

I wondered why this post was so controversial. I forgot Americans exist 😭😭
Now it makes sense.
By all I read, y’all are fucked.

Thankfully lots of us can’t read and are blissfully unaware at this late hour.

It sure fucking seems like it. Nobody’s doing anything.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Maybe you’re not. Try going to protests. Talk to people in person. Leave your echo chamber and share information with those that are unaware. Small resistances get incarcerated, deported, or exterminated. See: Nazi Germany
db2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I should have been more specific in what I meant. I’m only talking about the elected officials who seem to be more interested in being seen to talk big than to actually do anything impactful.

This.
None of these leftists have done shit. They just shit talk on the internet, and pretend that sitting out is doing something worthwhile.

My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it’s always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing
Squorlple@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I mean if you post online something like “Hey who wants to join my armed revolution?” then you’re gonna get the feds on you and your organization’s cover is going to get blown. If somebody does get caught and their connections can be traced back to a website or other community, then the unradicalized masses will see that website/community as a breeding ground for violence and either that website/community or the government will make the website/community clamp down and/or give up IDs of other members. Especially in an era where data is a commodity and the psychopathic tyrants are unmoved by peaceful protest, effective rebel cell formation and action has to be cloak and dagger and requires time to form an armed militia with a clear objective and a strong majority of the populace would need to sympathize. Definitely don’t abide this info and form a rebel cell in real life, since that would be illegal and therefore bad; if you were a fictional character in the fictional Star Wars universe, for example, then go ahead.

Damn I hadn’t realised I never actually helped organise a protest for paramedics in my city.
I could’ve sworn I had before you let me know I hadn’t.
Silly me

Most of them are the same Putin shills that throw wedges between leftists/progressives/liberals with the goal of destabilizing the US. GeNoCiDe JoE every post in 2024, but not a peep about Trump’s billionaire resort plans for the West Bank.
