  • Not to lash out at you specifically but why are USians so stubbornly focused on the interacting with politics along the corporate party approved pathways? Even as others tell y’all it’s always back to voting, polling, petitions, campaign rallys.

    Join an actual worker’s party or volunteer that time towards community outreach orgs rather than the popularity contests of millionaires funded by billionaires. Again, not to go off on you specifically but I’ve seen this aimless despair all over Lemmy, like everything you could possibly do is useless and, like, yeah, but only if you stay within that framework. That’s what the framework was built to do.

Anyone who can see the malicious cruelty of everyday life in America as well as the huge misery they export everywhere else and either pretend they don’t know or shrug it off ain’t gonna be converted by morality or reason, they’re gonna be reached once it happens to them or the handful of people they might actually care about.

    I personally try to be helpful and nicer when somebody’s shown genuine curiosity or naive misguidedness. We’ve all been there at one point. But there’s far too many who are just parroting the US line as if it were gospel and I don’t think ridiculing them is even the worst option.
