    The fact that you’re posting this means you’re not dead or in prison, which thought-stopping cliche will you use to explain your cowardly inaction?

      Or maybe I don’t live in a shithole country?

      You guys’ America-centric assumptions are really more in line with what we tend to see from MAGA chuds. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you aren’t fighting back too hard.

        I guess I should quit my job and condemn my family to destitution because some guy on Lemmy called me a pussy for not fighting the government. Rofl.

          Right, that’s what the rest of the world is waiting on Americans to do: quit their job.

          “Do nothing” is so ingrained in the American psyche that when pushed to do something the only thing they can think of is doing even less.

            No. I’m not quitting my job. That’s the dumbest fucking thing anyone could suggest. Grow up.

            If there’s a general strike, I’ll participate. Quitting my job and condemning my family to starve? Fuck outta here with that childish nonsense.

              No one actually suggested you quit your job. YOU’RE the one that said that and I was pointing out the absurdity that that is the first and only place you go. Are you lost?

          The people the rest of the world has been warning for decades that this very situation would occur if you kept doing what you were doing? The people who got belligerent and shitty when we pointed out the path they were on? Easy to criticize them? Yeah, it very much is.

            This is Lemmy, the vast majority of Americans here lean hard left. We knew. What exactly were we supposed to do? Die immediately in an immature revolution? Magically devise the perfect argument to overcome a century of anti-left propaganda?

              No, you’re right, you’ve done plenty. You should feel very pleased with your effort. You deserve a rest, even. Have yourself a nap and I promise nobody will wake you up to tell you how goofy it is that you just called Americans on Lemmy “hard left” 😅

                  Did you miss the part where they don’t live in the US? Do you lack reading comprehension or is this just your go to thought stopping cliche?

          As long as you can point to a country you believe is doing worse there is no reason to want yours to do better. You are just mainlining that propaganda aren’t you?

          “America is the greatest country on earth!”*

          *Not due to actually being great in any way, just due to the fact that we believe other countries are at least slightly worse, and that’s good enough for me!
