They’re not, but we must all do our civil duty regardless.

I get the sentiment, but I haven’t seen a billionaire I’d want to put my mouth on.

Can’t imagine you’d want to put your mouth on a pig or cow either, but properly butchered and prepared, they are quite palatable.
I imagine it’s the same principle.

I’m more worried about getting kidnapped by ICE because I voted for Kamala

because I voted for Kamala
You are just as likely to get flagged by Palintir and somewhere down the line when the states start breaking up, there will be targeted drone strikes on “terrorists” in neighboring nation-states by the former USA’s military might, based on your social media uploads and profile picture which Groknet will use to find you.

Not if I drone strike them first

Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.

they say suicide is a long term solution to a short term problem or sth

Fucking pussies. I am depressed too but I would never give these evil stupid fucks trying to run everything into the ground the satisfaction of driving me out of the only universe and life we know exists. I rather live in a state of constant spite at the ruling class than be dead forever.
Seriously, get your shit together people, we ALL die, make your goal being the last one standing instead of letting evil win.

mate, I’m in that boat as well.
the call of the void can be loud.
tried going there a few times, I still don’t know how I’m still here.
don’t know what to say, because when I’m nearing the void, nothing that anyone can say can logic you out of the void.
DM are open for venting if you want. but the only advice I have is “stay strong”, it’s a long and thankless fight. but sometimes, there are good days that are worth it. at least I hope there are

There are already ways to get that without going through the government.

Yeah I’m sure friends and family will gather around to be with a person to watch them put a bullet in their head, hang from a noose or suffocate on chemicals. /S

Maybe they shouldn't have voted for an orange dipshit named Trump. Americans deserve what they voted for, even the ones that didn't vote. Fuck both groups
MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I would not be surprised whatsoever if we find out years from now that he cheated in that election and most Americans voted for Kamala.

You’ve got government you deserve.

This is such a bullshit mindset. There are literally millions of us who did our part to try to stop this.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Doesn’t matter, it’s collectively, broadly true.
Leftists generally spent more time arguing amongst themselves online and glomming on to mini personality cults of prominent online influencers, fully engaging in the distractions of gender and culture wars…
… than they did spend their time on any kind of actually effective, in any but the most superficial sense, kind of messaging or actions.
Sure, if you helped run a local homeless shelter, built up some kind of actual union or a a mutual aid network, knocked on doors, rallied people in person or at least phone banked, joined an outfit or did your own actually real and impactful journalism, consistently protested, set up something like an underground railroad, started actually laying a framework for an alternate economy that could be resilient to or function during a collapse of the broader economy…
Something actually tangible?
Then hey, you actually tried.
Basically every one else just whined and complained, ineffectively.

It’s the same mindset and response as is directed at regressive states. Now I’m not saying I don’t agree with the sentiment, but even places like Florida and Texas have literally millions of people that continue to try to do their part too.

We got the government the wealthy were ok with as a fallback.
Do not claim to know what people, that you do not know, deserve.

But 30% of voting age Americans would still vote for him because he’s arresting brown people they don’t know.
The joke is that costs haven’t even truly gone up from his taxes yet. Just wait until after the midterms when the legislation they passed is scheduled to take effect.
The average American is so fucked.

I made peace with my country
Though I never could believe
Somebody else’s struggle
Is the reason that I flee
Can you carry more
If you leave me back?
What’s left to take?
Who’s lives come last?
– Excerpts from “Reverend” by Greensky Bluegrass
These lines from a brand new bluegrass song of all things have been living rent free in my mind. I’m not particularly oppressed, but witnessing the oppression of others has me wanting to leave. Once we run off all the immigrants, and all the people like me leave, will the people who vote for fascism and hatred in this country be able to keep it all from falling apart?
roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Most people can’t afford to leave. Enjoy the privilege.

Folk music is one of the places where the people are. Even the old religious ones are good, like “One Drop Of Water” which does talk about god but mostly makes fun of a selfish, piece of shit rich guy who couldn’t make it into heaven because he worhsipped his money.
You can of course also find those messages in a lot of the really good rap and hip hop. Tribe Called Quest was talkin’ some real shit.

Ya but can the 10% that are not worried be eaten by the remaining 90%?
