It’s really odd to assert that nobody has jobs when that is demonstrably untrue. The economy is quickly swirling the drain, but there are still millions upon millions of working Americans. Shutting down the economy via general strike is the last real resort we have.

I’m not going to sit here and let you demean the one real tool we the people have left.

Fuuuuuccckkk

There have been so many offenses by this administration it’s hard to keep up and retain them all, but that one day has stuck with me ever since. We got cucked at our own capital in front of the world and this orange bitch did nothing. If nothing else right-wingers should be furious about that. It’s insane.

Imagine: you could have passed this comment by and it would have cost you literally nothing. Instead you chose to be a dick AND not answer the question, so instead your contribution is a net loss For everyone!

Those MAGA folks don’t know they’re brainwashed, and honestly, neither would any of us.

I challenge this line of reasoning. All that is required is asking the question “is that true?”, then attempting to answer that question. There are very few modern conservative talking points that cannot be riddled with holes via 10 min of googling. I understand that people of western society have had our attention robbed of us, but all that is required is a desire to know the truth. They don’t. They want to have an interesting story that triggers their emotions. I will not abide apologies for anyone still supporting the MAGA agenda.

Wow that’s a lot of salt for someone trying to value their work higher. Maybe just use a different app? Ironically I was a pro user on Reddit and have never been forced to upgrade on Lemmy as it has never shown me a single ad despite the fact that I would in heartbeat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , I have never had issues with any Sync app and I’ve been a user since…I dunno 2013?

I do agree that JDLawson has become more reclusive but he was never all that interactive with the community to be honest. I don’t see that updates or stability of the app has really been an issue. Any time I have had problems they have always been native to Lemmy.

It’s gotta start somewhere. FWIW I have been following this for at most a month and it is increased by at least 70,000 people. Not that that’s enough, but 300,000 people ain’t nothing.

If you have spent as much time protesting as you claim,

Spoilers: They haven’t.

You do understand you need money to eat right? Am I interacting with a toddler?

Since there is a certain psycho suggesting all Americans go to war for their personal protection I will take the opportunity to ride the top comment with this attempt at organizing a general strike in the US.

You can’t just post links to the past like that’s the world we are living in. Let me break it down Barney style for you.

If I don’t go to work because I was protesting I will be fired. Hell if the wrong people get wind of it I will be fired (best case scenario, and we’ll just assume I’m not going to come back home to look for work because I’m protesting!)>>> If I am fired my family will run out of money (as in $0, 0 credit) in about 2 months>>> Me and my family starve/are unhoused>>>protest over.

We actually have a little money set aside for emergencies so we can last longer than the Majority of Americans 30-60% of which are literally living paycheck to paycheck.

We are not in a position to do fucking anything without massive organized movement, and thanks to our geography and 50 years of carefully orchestrated plans to destroy the American middle-class that’s a tall order.

They would be dead or in prison. Did you ever think of that?

Such as?

What am i, one unaffiliated person, going to do against a tyrannical government? Go commit suicide by cop? You are literally asking me to martyr myself and my family for your feelings.

You have illustrated just how unhinged you are in the rest of your comments. You don’t seem to understand that we are all trying to live our relatively normal lives while also figuring out what to do about this.

Here’s a hypothetical: I have two children under 6, my wife works full-time, I work 50 hours a week to keep a roof over my family’s heads and food in their mouths, I also make 2/3 of our household income, we have no real support system to speak of. We’re in Texas, so the allies I have are extremely limited, and do not include any of my family other than my brother, who doesn’t live here. We’re trying to figure out how to get out of here but it’s difficult and frankly I don’t know if we can afford it.

So you’re suggesting I do what? Go buy a gun for me and the three able bodied liberals I know (also fathers of young children) , kiss my family goodbye, drive for 2 days, get fired, and go do ourselves a good ol domestic terrorism? So you can feel better about the hell that WE not you are living through? And all because I committed the crime of being born in the wrong place and unable to escape? Get fucked.

It integrates into the Google ecosystem well, and if that has value to a person it may just be enough to bring them back to chrome.

How bad is this actually. As in, how concerned should we be?
