Except they only post about their imaginary heroics on the internet, and then sit back on their couch doing nothing.

You can do both, I don’t see the problem with doing anticapitalist propaganda on the internet, it’s probably what pushed me most towards organizing

This is a tangent but, I find it baffling that Americans are one of the most tolerant democracies of abuses of power against common citizens and corruption. Their country was founded precisely to stop both. Their constitution was almost utopian for the time, writing about the irrefutable rights a human has. And look at it now, capitalism and oligarchs have trashed their country. They lack even basic infrastructure such as health care, transportation a functional education system, etc. All for the benefit of rich people who can bypass the broken country by buying normal services and amenities, while less fortunate people are left to fend for themselves. It is a broken country because only nobility can afford human-worthy living standards there. The nobility and oligarchy in the USA are so very effectively blocking the country from having infrastructure that every other civilised country on planet earth has had for decades or even centuries. How the american middle class could let this happen is baffling.

The direct answer to your question is that it’s a deep rooted cultural problem that has been with us since the beginning. The problem is the culture of extreme individualism and anti-intellectualism. People want to be completely free and unrestricted in their behavior, whether that harms others or not. Ultimately the desire for the freedom to harm others with impunity is what leads to where we are now. The rich want to be able to exploit their workers harder, men want to be able to beat and rape their wives and control their entire life, pedophiles (see endless stream of republican pedophilia controversies) want everyone to make more babies for them to rape, landlords want to take all your money for the privilege of having a place to sleep, every company that sells goods or services wants to fleece you, and all of these assholes want to have zero consequences for their actions. They gaslight the normies into distrusting the scientists, the educated, the compassionate, because they would actually help people. It’s not even about greed really, it’s about the ultimate extreme of personal freedom. Money just makes you more free.
So why haven’t we done anything? People have, there’s just a lot of people who want this to happen. A lot of people would cheer as they send me to the gas chamber. The majority of my extended family probably would.
I hate this place

What ever happened to “you have the freedom do do/say what you want but the responsibitly to consider those around you”
I guess that’s pretty pale when the individualism becomes strong enough that people think they’re the main character

Bit OOTL, what happened to Greta? Is she still being held hostage by the Israelis?
RushLana@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
She has been released and stated that the flotilla crew ( her included ) have been subject to mistreatment and abuse. Israel is now accussing the flotilla to be part of hamas.
Snopes article : www.snopes.com/…/greta-thunberg-israel-arrest/
TL:DR israël commit atrocities yet again and try to say it’s due to hamas again.

Thank you! I asked my gf what happened to her and we simply didn’t know
axexrx@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Wait, part of hamas? I thought the accusation was being in contact with hamas, which the flotilla itself had claimed

If only. All the American leftists with guns are tripping over themselves to explain why it’s not time, and why the second amendment doesn’t apply when the government is rounding up and disappearing American citizens and sending federal troops to cities. They won’t even unify to vote against trump, let alone fight him

And all the conservatives who “own guns to prevent guberment tyranny and fight oppression!!!” are also doing squat all.
The US is a bit FUBAR ain’t it?
TheSambassador@lemmy.world 2 days ago
So are you going to be the general, inspiring and gathering people, and picking targets? Or is this just yet another call for generic violence against any targets so you can feel that others are “doing something.”
I’m not a killer. I’m not interested in killing random conservatives. I’m interested in things that reduce pain and suffering in the world. Murdering people who don’t agree with me is not the way I want to live my life.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
As a general call it would be killing ICE agents to stop them from kidnapping people and the national guard members deployed to cities.
Though you’re correct in your assessment for change to be made through violence.

Democrats have been anti gun for decades and are now reaping the consequences, sadly.
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m not American but know plenty, you’re all pro gun. It’s kinda crazy. Even democrats will defend gun rights. I saw a figure that said something like 61% of democrats are pro gun control, not ban but control. So that leaves 39% that are pro gun, on top of the pretty much 100% republicans who are pro gun rights.

Being against a civilian arms race seems like a pretty sane policy in a country where school shootings is a national pastime.
Losing that arms race on walkover while simultaneously losing democratic institutions, that is… unfortunate.
