Shhh the dem voters will be mad if you point that out.

Complacement with facism vs actively pushing it is fair but both are still fascist.

I mean what do you call the democrats for enabling the genocide in Gaza?

I think it was more like a choice of just being nazis abroad or being both a nazi abroad and back home.

Pretending otherwise just comes off as selfish and privileged tbh.

Im sorry to hear youre having such a hard time stranger. I hate when people don’t listen or try to understand. I hope you

I want to point something out

“I want someone to just listen to what I’m saying and try to actually understand. Like literally that’s all I want… but it never seems to happen these days. I feel like it’s going to cost me my job and friends. I feel like I’m going to lose everything and have to start my life over again somewhere else.”

Unless im misunderstanding, then starting over may be better for you. A friend at the bare minimum should make you feel heard seen and understood at least most of the time with them.

I had a similar issue. I felt undervalued and misunderstood at work and with friends. I would end up feeling my saddest and most alone with those friends.

Starting over can seem daunting especially with how are it can be for folks like us to make new ones. But it may well be worth it for you like it was for me. Idk if that’s helpful stranger. I wish you the best of luck and i hope you find people that put as much effort into understanding and hearing you as you put into others 😁

Wonder if that means he’s alive and used those assets or is still using some of them in paris🤔

Good link dude thanks gave me a fuller picture for sure.

Thanks I’ll check it out. Should have some time tonight or tomorrow night.

I sincerely don’t know if it’s a lot of people or none. Seems like both sides are lying and I can’t find anything concrete enough to be sure either way.

No I wasn’t I’m 30 (born in 1995). My awareness of this event for most of my life was just the picture of the guy in front of the tank. Once I saw the video of what happens next I spent a day searching for videos of violence or anything more concrete but whether it’s through censorship, my incompetence, or it not existing : I couldn’t find it🤷

That’s why I’m asking you. I want to know if I missed something because I want to be on the right side of this. I was raised an evangelical far right Republican whose family votes for trump and now I’m an atheist and a socialist. All that to say I do try to change my mind when it makes sense.

How’s my vibe dude?

I do see doubt put on the genocide label for what’s happening to the Uyghur Muslims. I also don’t think that label fits.

Maybe I’m just ignorant, it’s one of those issues you don’t hear much about. I saw this the other day and thought it was interesting

Not trying to argue with you so much as hope you got some links I can check to make sure I ain’t missing big pieces.

I know a lot of arrests were made in like 2018ish and they had camps for them but I thought they transfer people to standard jails or let them out by now tbh.

Care to tell me how you know the streets were covered in bodies? I’ve never seen that. I’m being genuine

I’ve only ever seen the picture of this dude in front of the tank and then years later the video of him not getting run over. I felt tricked when I saw it.

I’m very aware there is censorship and propaganda at play but I know the US is playing that game in addition to China so I really don’t know what level of government force was used there.

The tank picture and the way it’s framed over here have me leaning towards the idea that there is no real evidence of a massacre. Maybe that’s China censorship or maybe it didn’t happen but if you got something I can look at and know more i’d appreciate you sharing it. 🙂

That being said without something like that the comparison feels unfair since we don’t know if tank man received any repercussions for not complying. 🤷 We’re as ice is just murdering civilians in the street in the USA.

Edit: to be clear I’ve searched around a lot but it’s so unclear to me. But maybe I missed something super important

Ah the willfully ignorant type

The man didn’t get run over. He climbed on top of the tank… https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTZjMDliOTUyb29jbTR6NmlwNzlvM2locDJtODlxODVuYjNqMG9uaWF4MzNhM3h6biZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/l3MjWQaSfumoo/giphy.gif

Hex bear is the best part of lemmy in my experience tbh idk while y’all hate them so much.

Good on you for being fair.

Curious what you disagree with?

Source?

Amen and Hell yeah comrade 👈😎

I have my sister’s dog on my LinkedIn profile. Cat fishing employers feels acceptable to me lol

Damn, you know what. im sorry.

I really marginalized you there. Wasnt my intention but i did it and there really isnt any merit to my orginal comment anyway. Thanks for perspective stranger. Best of luck to you and thanks for the understanding that i was just trying to vent (even though i did it in a shitty way)

Disability should be AT LEAST $1000 a week in my opinion but it could be even more than that. Its disgusting how little is given out now 😔

I love how you nitpick something I didn’t consider and then over generalize just like I did🤣. As if every single disabled person is on social security and none of them would survive the cut. Many diaba led people already have to work. Because Disability is already next to nothing in this country.

Of course you are right, it’s terrible for me to want. I should have started my comment with an acknowledgement of that so people didn’t take it as a policy suggested and just saw it as a defeated vent.

I accept your vote 😜
