I choose to stay alive over giving my life to my neighbour, not because they are an inherently lesser being, but because I value my own life over another.

Not eating a burger will literally kill me

You rn.

No one is coming to save you, my friends. Strength, as always, lies in community building.

It's more of a critique of the "just do something" culture. Killing one farmer will just result in that farmer getting replaced with an identical cog in the machine, it also won't magically inspire all the sheep to kill their oppressors as seen historically with humans - that kind of thing is only found within books.

Pretty much the only kind of effective action if the goal is to change things rather than merely feel good in the moment is organization, but it is a slow, tedious and dangerous process - it's not something that can be achieved immediately or individually.

The military can send missiles to any point on the globe with an accuracy of centimeters without losing a man. The time for a resistance was decades ago.

We overslept.

It won't kill me though?

But rolling over is not an option. The military isn't going to kill all the workers. The workers are more important than any other group. If the workers strike, the rich suffer.

I’m not sure if anyone told you, but if the workers strike- everyone will also suffer. Including non combatant civilians.

ROFL!!!!!

Also, Omnivore tells you what you can eat, not what you have to.

This is true. Only a vegan tells you what you have to.

They are ineffective. Dictators tend to suppress all dissident speech, not keyboard warriors specifically. Also, they can't go after anyone not in their country. Obviously, the internet gives people that ability.

Most of the keyboard warriors I've seen are non-American. Trying to egg us on into indiscriminate violence.

Obviously. What do you think happens to the workers once they're enslaved? The workers need to unite NOW, if they're ever gonna have a chance to pull the rich and powerfull down into the mud.

But what is your solution to the current issue then?

Yes. And the second best time is now.

So… your solutions is basically to fuck everyone and just stop everything. lol….

Good luck with that.

My solution?

My solution is to have had everyone vote back in November. That way the bed we’re now having to lie in wouldn’t have been made for us in such a way that would lead to you and I having to have this conversation.

But considering the fact that my solution requires manipulating the laws of physics, and fits has a barely above zero chance of succeeding.

We’re fucked and all we can do is wait it out.

Yeah… lol. It always looks good in text, doesn’t it?

“THE SECOND BEST TIME IS NOW.”

It’s such a bold and provocative statement. The problem is when it comes to actually do the work. Ninety one million people couldn’t bring themselves to check a box in November. So…. I predict that the castle will remain un-stormed.

There's a genocide happening in Palestine right now and anyone calling out the terrorist IDF army gets called "antisemetic".

Voter turnout is always highest for presidential elections, and the last two have had the highest in decades. Yet that is still in the low 60's. Any ideas for how to increase turnout?

But... they don't have enough missles to kill even 1% of the population (no source) Unless you include nukes...
So they don't really matter if the resistance is large enough.

A fascist dictator who laid out exactly what he was going to do in a bullet pointed manefesto was enough for me. But considering that this wasn’t enough to make people get off their asses and check a fucking box- I really don’t see anyone scrambling to arms.
