People who tell me the anti-trans anti-POC laws in my state are good actually because the majority support them. People who treat people as pawns in an electoral campaign.
So tired of people like that.
Update: Examples found within the thread! I don’t even need to link to examples of this happening. They’re right here!
Here’s some advice: Instead of trying to start an argument with anonymous strangers in some tiny hidden corner of the internet, go out into the real world and get involved with a group where your actions actually make a difference.
Become a member of a party of your choice, a group of communist conspirators, Antifa, a hippie commune, doctors without borders, or whatever you want. Shape and improve your corner of the world and discuss politics with people around you.
In here, you’re just shouting into a void. I’m not gonna click on any of your links and will have forgotten your comment in about 10 minutes.
I’m very involved in my community. I sit on two city committees, I meet at least twice a year with my city council rep and email her in between, I vote in every election, I attend rallies and events like Pride and BLM whenever my schedule permits, I work for a charitable non-profit that helps people (don’t want to get too specific because doxxing), and I’ve considered running for local office before deciding my schedule just doesn’t allow it.
I’m also fairly poor, but I still donate monthly to Lakota People’s Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund.
And even online, I try to discuss real problems and don’t straight up lead with telling people to fuck off. I also don’t make excuses for fascist institutions such as ICE with their border camps. I point out the troubling things Biden is doing because we need to find a way to stop these things by any means necessary.
So I do agree with your advice, but it’s not a zero sum game. I can do all these things and also be online. I feel like you’re just saying this as a silencing tactic and deflection.
