Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about him. For anyone else reading this look up the Coal Wars and the Homestead Strike.

Labor has always had to kill, die, and fight against Capital for the rights we have today. They don't really teach these things in school (I think I learned about the Pinkertons in AP US History) because it would give Labor too much cultural power, but it's crucial for US citizens (and anyone really) to understand what it has taken to get to where we are.

as long as they see more lgbtq and brown people getting it first, then they'll have "won" in their minds

Sounds like it's they want another fight akin to the 19th and early 20th centuries...

"Empathy is a sin"

Do you honestly think Trump is gonna "go down"? How would you envision that? I'm worried he's going to Kissinger it and live for another 15 years.

I'm so looking forward to see this sniveling coward arrested and locked up (or worse) when this regime falls down.

Yes I know that'll probably not happen that way but it gives me something to look forward to. Like solarpunk ideas, it gives me something to fight for rather than just something to fight against.

I care about his health and it's heartbreaking that he doesn't have a choice or know how much his mom is a sociopathic piece of shit.

I think you meant "brown"

Get fucked Rachel. I hope you feel every possible pain that you voted for.

Lemmy wouldn't let me edit my comment so adding a new one:

Also never acquiesce or give in without resistance. Always resist. They want you too paralyzed, terrified, and demoralized to do anything and want you to have anticipatory obedience. They want you to think since you're just one person you can't do anything so why bother. Do not give these fucks one inch. Always resist and don't comply ahead of time.

There are a million ways you can research because you have the internet.

Off the top of my head: organize locally (and online, though online is more risky for infiltration), attend protests, fund groups in resistance lawsuits (ACLU, NRDC for climate stuff, etc.), join mutual aid networks, constantly call your local congressperson and attend town halls. Educate yourself and share truth when confronted with mis/disinformation in your own real life, get others you know to involved and help them understand the predicament we're in, rather than what they see on Fox or Newsmax or Tiktok.

Then there are the more extreme things that I wouldn't condone such as providing the implicit threat of violence to back up whatever the peaceful protests are advocating. The Far Right in America has done that part very well in the past 15 years.

I don't think this is even the big effect we'll be seeing from AI. think that'll occur over the next 12-24 months, as LLM operationalization occurs and matures the implementations.
