So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.
Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.
SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.
My guy, people have been out in the streets ripping people out of the hands of ice
I get its fun to be cynical in the current moment but americans have absolutely been doing shit. I know, because there are folks in my community organizing, and they’re doing so in the image of other community organizing efforts across the country
In the land of “stay strapped or get clapped” your idea of resistance is joining a soup kitchen or tool library lol
It’s a step that contributes which is better than nothing, though of course this is supplementary and more is needed
It’s an action that accomplishes nothing towards the stated goals but makes the person feel good about themselves.
No one can fight fascism when theyre worried about their immediate tangible needs. No one can fight much of anything when theyre worried about their immediate needs.
Its really hard to organize with people if you dont have ways of being connected to them. Its hard to have the needed trust. Its hard to network and know the right folks to have a connection the the right person when you need them. All sorts of community service help attend to these functional needs.
If you can’t see value in feeding folks in your community I’m glad you’re not part of mine, you sound like a POS.
Feeding people is great, pretending its some kind of ‘resistance’ is laughable.
You can’t have a resistance if your people are hungry.
Hunger and widespread discontent are exactly how you get a rebellion but you’d know that if you ever opened a history book.
Strange how that works given hunger is how regimes suppress rebellions.
You are dead right and you’re being downvoted by white liberals who can’t bear to entertain the idea that they might be part of the problem.
Soup kitchens contribute to mutual aid setups, which are vital for subsistence and resistance movements against established institutions.
It is directly something that accomplishes movement towards stated goals.
Let me know when a soup kitchen topples a government institution. Until then all I see is cringe larping as a resistance movement.
Preach.
Sick of watching Americans do performative nonsense and pretend like they’re “fighting.”
You clearly didn’t read or understand what I wrote.
Oh look, a keyboard warrior that has no idea how the US works.
How fuckin’ unique and edgy.
Go on; what are you expecting to see?
My expectation is that Americans will continue getting fucked by their government because the only ones interested in ‘resistance’ will ladle at a soup kitchen about it
My brother in Christ look up the aforementioned SRA. You look like an idiot.
Not even gonna engage with the argument that feeding folks in your community isnt valuable resistance. Thats dumb as fuck.
How dare I not be familiar with every single local acronym you lot have.
Anyway let me know when a soup kitchen or tool library topple anything with your resistance larp
There are people missing from my community. Folks I love are afraid theyre unsafe. But being an asshole about it on the internet from far away seems more fun to you I guess.
You seem like a piece of shit, and you’re transparently arguing in bad faith if you’re gonna ignore 50% of what I said just to mock me for suggestions that people get involved in their community
I hope you’re able to figure out how to grow as a person, take care.
Enjoy your larp but be safe, genuinely don’t want any more of you getting shot by ICE.
must be a huge important organisation. but, which one?
Duckduckgo having crap results doesnt really change my point that I included several options compatible with America being a “stay strapped or get clapped place”, or substantiate the point that my only suggestion was a soup kitchen (which to be clear, is absolutely valuable praxis that improves our abilities to work together on bigger issues). I dont think it even really matters if its a huge important organization, I just want people to have options put in front of them so people start to consider what they can be doing, and theres all kinds of things people can do to contribute. And if you feel thats important, Ice watch orgs (siembra where I live, who’s also a workers rights org) are pretty big, the stop detention centers NC signal is pretty big, and thats just the scale of what’s local to me. The stop cop city project in atlanta has been pretty massive, but I’m not sure how things are doing after their more recent legal troubles, I’m not in Atlanta.
My frustration with them comes from the fact that they were ignorant about what I said and still responded with some bullshit in various places in this thread. There are people in my community whos families dont know where they ended up. People I love are afraid for their saftey.
And its the 2nd result on both google and brave search, kagi put it like 7th or eighth. Duckduckgo and the bing results it pulls from are just frequently not great. Google pulled it up even when signed out or in cromite so its not just search personalization
The SRA I mentioned is the socialist rifle association. I also mentioned ice watch, and stop cop city and stop detention center projects. The point was to suggest a number of things that would include some ways to get involved for a wide variety of people, people gotta start somwhere and folks have different risk tolerances
Kindly, did you think at all before you typed that? Kinda disappointed that 5 people chose to upvote that, what are you talking about?
