Do you also heckle cows forever trapped in a machine that saps them of their assets, force feeds them to fatten them and never let’s them see the sun? It’s easy to criticize from outside the machine.
It’s even easier to find excuses to avoid even lifting a finger against the machine.
Also, the US has exported its awfulness to most of the world, so it’s not like I’m immune. I’m just mad that I don’t have the same power to change things that Americans do, but then all I hear back is fucking whining
Yeah we’re not going to act. We’re lazy, divided but most importantly afraid. Insult away though. Everyone assumes they’re a hero until heroic shit needs doing.
Sure, that’s fair enough. But what I don’t get is the defeatism. All the disdain, reject and call for action seems to come from outside, from the inside only memes, vague and cold “we need to organize” statements, and learned helplessness.
I don’t blame you to be clear. You have been the victims of the most sophisticated and cruel manipulation machine the world has ever seen. But just fucking throw something and take your country and lives back!! (for legal reasons this is a metaphor)
Because you didn’t grow up here. You have no idea what it’s like. Be grateful that you don’t have to experience capitalism taken to its logical extreme. Basically this is the most successful experiment ever run for inducing executive dysfunction on a personal level.
Are you forgetting that insurance companies routinely deny medical care to people even after they’ve paid? I mean if that doesn’t cause people to burn it down then what did you expect to happen here
“The right is winning all over the world” is right wing propaganda to make it seem an unavoidable certainty, as surveillance capitalism does. Sure there was quite a big push in that direction, but not everywhere and in many of those places there has been somewhat adequate pushback. Is the global political majority more right leaning than 5/10 years ago? Sure. Are the fascists winning everywhere? no

Hey it’s not us saying you have the intelligence of a cow
Again, it’s easy to criticize from outside the machine…

My family resisted the Nazis, some died for it others like my ancestors barely made it to Switzerland alive. None of them were cowards.
You guys don’t do shit, live without health insurance and spend your last dime on the newest iPhone.

The American strategy: don’t be inspired by positives, look for negatives to bring them down to your level
What is this question supposed to mean? Aside from making you feel better about your apathy?

No need so far, but I absolutely would if things ever take a wrong turn here like they did in the states.
We even learn this in school here, you don’t stay silent during a fascist takeover.
No need so far? What fantasy utopia do you hail from friend?

Are you responding to the wrong post or just putting words into my mouth?
How American of you to ride on the shoulders of your ancestors while you sit on your ass behind a screen away from the problem.
What year did they start?
