I sympathize with people wanting and trying to leave. Personally, I’m tired. I’ve been fighting these republicans for over a decade. I even spent a weekend in jail for trying to fight for other people’s rights. There is a bigger issue in the US that most people on Lemmy seem to ignore. Let’s say we get all the fascista out of government. Let’s say we push them out and get control and bring back democracy in the US.

If this happens, our problems won’t be fixed. The core issue of the US is the people who have been fed propaganda for decades. The racism, the fear, the hate, all runs deep into the core of their personalities now. And there is nothing I can think of that can change this. Maybe after decades when they all die off and hopefully our kids learn from their mistakes that we might be able to see change. But I don’t see it happening in the next decade. The country is screwed.

So staying and fighting will do fuck all to fix this country. I sympathize with people who have the means and money who are trying to leave. If I wasn’t struggling to make ends meet I’m sure I’d try and do the same.

Ya I’ve heard this before! I’ve also heard there is still a lot of problem solving to learn for maintenance and some problems that often arise. But haven’t taken the time yet to familiarize myself with it.

Haven’t updated to windows 11 yet and probably won’t. Just gonna wait until I can afford a new PC then learn how to install Linux

Same same.

I didn’t have a million karma. But they perma banned my 12 year old account because I supported Luigi.

Being born in the USA

Oh wow! Didn’t know that!

Ya I have zero sympathy for elite members of society whose only way to the top is by taking from the countries poorest. Fuck em.

In surprised it’s taken this long for someone to take action against Blackstone.

I was looking for someone to say this. Then realized not many people here watch recent movies.

What we need is for someone to openly share addresses of the billionaires homes and start protesting there. That’s the only way we can negatively effect them. Make them scared to be comfortable in their own homes.

Same. We both follow each other and neither of us care. We mostly have it enabled for the “just in case” scenario that anything happens to one of us. We can make sure that we know of our last known location.

I’ve also had her use it one time I was away from home in NYC. And I was too drunk to figure out which subway to take to get back to my hotel. So she walked me through step by step while on the phone with me. It fucking rocked.

I’m good with bringing back all of it. Except carpet. Carpet needs stay away.

I think most intelligence tests are flawed to that degree. Memorizing facts is far from true intelligence. For one, they never consider emotional intelligence in the equation. Which to me should be one of the highest standards. Empathy, for example, should be considered in intelligence tests.

Yo no se

Rat traps

I’m assuming international students are staying far away from American universities at the current enrollment periods as well

My only argument against this idea, which a part of me supports, is we need to start pushing forward our own propaganda against the billionaire class to get more people on board with the movement. And entertainment is an avenue for propaganda to achieve this.

Overnight massive protests at their places of residence will help

Only next step is to protest in front of these billionaires houses 24/7. Making their lives as hell ish as possible.

Im seeing people come in and out with burner phones that are set up to look clean and minimal.
