Can the fascist horrors just be over already?

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca⁩ to ⁨rant@lemmy.sdf.org⁩

Haven’t we had enough yet? Can’t we please just wake up tomorrow morning, and there be no more transphobia or any other forms of bigotry? No more corruption? And wealth be distributed fairly? The human species has a finite amount of time on this earth. Each human has a finite amount of time on this earth. Can we just put our feet down and say enough with the unnecessary drama?

We should strike. Like Spain. Like France. Let’s strike. Everybody.

  How much funds are in the war chest? Strikers will need groceries after they’re fired.

    Sacrifices must be made. Change cannot happen otherwise.

  Well, 1/3 of, say, America supports what’s going on, and another 1/3 doesn’t really care either way. Even in just that last third, caring enough to take on enormous personal cost is extremely rare.

    On the other hand, the owner class shits their pants over a 5% decline in growth. I’m sure even that fraction of 1/3 is well capable of causing more than that.

    Wanna see how many people are indifferent to politics? Let’s see how successful the upcoming Harry Potter series is. People who care about politics will either boycott or pirate it. The far right will boycott because Snape is black and the far left will boycott because of Rowling’s transphobia. But the series is going to still be massively successful because there are enough people who don’t care about either of those things strongly enough to boycott.

  I was thinking strike more like a F-15. Bound to be more effective than the parades we call protest, and easier to pull off than a labor strike en mass.

You could. But youre not ready for it. Because it means real violence. Real death. Real upheaval. None of us are really ready for that. Even me.

They have control over the government, we’re here using mod abuse to censor comments that call conservative voters retarded

  Oh no, how abusive to stand up in defense of people with down syndrome who get used as an insult for republicans.
  
  Clearly if our community just let us treat specific minorities as subhuman filth, this will somehow allow us to stand up against fascism.

The tool you’re looking for is called a “guillotine”. We’re way overdue.

I still haven’t talked my brother down from this idiocy. I’ve been at it for over a decade. Unfortunately you can’t just make people see reality if they want to believe lies.

its funny but I feel a lot of folks don’t really feel time. They don’t seem to see how it drags on but it also incredibly short. we live for decades and out species have barely gotten here and destroyed so many species.

I think you all missed the point. I’m wishing in vainbto not have to fight the fascists, to wake up one morning and the fascism just be gone. I know it’s not realistically possible, but I’m wishing it

  Wishing to not fight is virtuous. Preparing for the fight is prudent.
  
  With long term planning and perserverance, our great grandchildren (x15?) might know an end to the class war. That’s bleak. I’m here for the fight.

Stop consuming anything unnecessary. Consume as much as possible from local, mom-and-pop stores where they still exist for your necessaries. General strike.

Until people start hurting the wallets and production of the elites, ANGH.
