That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.
This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.
A lot of states changed to $15/hr. And a lot of jobs offer $15/hr to start even in states with a low minimum wage.
My bad. The sources I looked up emphasized their boycotts and stuff.
It still wasn’t a violent revolution though.
I often think of this:
[White people’s] job at that protest, what they are there to do, is to do everything they can in their power to put their bodies between the bodies of black people and police. They should know if they’re there that they have the privilege of at least knowing that there will be more action taken if they die than if a black person does.
Everyone is a victim under fascism, but some people are still more vulnerable than others. If Trump decided to take out a peaceful protester that looked like me this early, it would be much harder to sweep under the rug. I find some comfort in realizing that my disappearance wouldn’t be so easily pulled off.
I only have this issue on political communities. Anger towards Americans is much more pronounced on Lemmy than on Reddit. People will call for violence a lot more frequently here than on Reddit.
I understand the anger towards Americans, but it can be downright toxic to organizing at times.
I’m mainly just worried about my mom. I was wondering if anyone else dealt with family members that didn’t want them to protest.
I think it’s “Tesla Sucks”. Half of the swastika looks like an “s”.

Just thank all representatives who voted on this. Both Democrat and Republican.
What are you guys talking about?
Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.
