they wouldn’t be able to do shit if we didn’t enable them to do it; point the anger at the right place.

A post explaining that you cannot coopt the party including a meme explaining that you cannot coopt a party should make it pretty clear that you cannot coopt the party

And I shared this example to show that you don’t have to bother coopting the party; the party will come to you if you start protesting the same way Americans did in the 1960’s & 70’s.

It worked it in back then and Mexico shows that it still worked in 2017.

And learning how to do it is as easy as watching historical tv footage of the civil right protesters physically assaulting the police and causing property damage and wo permission or watch videos of the Mexicans doing the same thing on social media … assuming that Ellison hasn’t already purged them from TikTok’s libraries. Lol

I was offering a plausible explanation that could address @vogi@piefed’s confusion about your downvotes and the narrative I was referring to was the one that @justsomeguy@lemmy.world was sharing.

It seems that the two of us are in closer alignment on this question than you and @justsomeguy@lemmy.world

i suspect that multiple generations worth of organized anti-leftists efforts like COINTELPRO have given the american people brainworms that will make that bottom of the barrel go much further than anything we’ve ever seen before.

And what is your solution for one bad party and one worse party in a first past the post system?

mexico was also stuck in this situation and now they have president shienbaum because they did actual protests instead “no kings” pep rallies.

… meta, google, palantir, tormentnexus, etc, offer a chance at a better life for them and their families.

not when compared to their colleagues.

it has to start somewhere because the system, as it currently is, is not sustainable.

either we start it ourselves in the way that’s the most beneficial to us or nature will force it upon us and it doesn’t care if it’s helps or hurt us.

i can speak from experience on this: merely having a faang company on your resume will always work to your benefit and these people are making a lot more money than any of us ever will – there’s no reason to pity these people and never believe that you and they are on the same playing field.

it’s a narrative that supports capital and gives people who dgaf cover; hence the votes.

yes, the poor faang software engineers could possibly find another job. lol

i love these down votes against pointing out the irrationality of the narrative that you must uppend your entire life to stop being an asshole.

and that’s despite the common knowledge that there’s a better chance at higher pay if you switch jobs. lol

none of the components are being used to assemble this self imposed panopticon sounded sinister because they were whitewashed through marketing – that same device that can keep track of your movements and who you talk to was adopted by everyone because it was marketed as a fun and convenient way to connect with friends.

wait! i think i’ve seen that fediverse menace before!!!

the answer is making it harder to access to the counter narratives about palestine and future crimes against humanity that keep going viral on social medi.

they’re not mythical; they do exist and are the 60% of americans who can watch a genocide being live streamed to the palm of their hands but still refuse to call it a genocide.

an excellent pic describing liberals in a liberal democracy. lol

We all are.

What distinguishes us from each other seems to be how well we understand leftism and the things we choose to support/patronize are probably the clearest indicators of how well we understand it.

it was targeted at leftists and outspoken trans people, so it seems that the content left over would be mainstream western liberal content.

because you’re on piefed.

piefed started out with blocking leftists like tesseract did and if you can’t see the unspoken subtext that piefed is based upon, then you’re likely a-okay – politically speaking – w the tesseract/startrek.website people.
