They’re all cowards.

They forgot the “/s” then. I couldn’t pick up on that.

Also, what is “America’s Great Saviors?”

IndustryStandard criticizing Kamala but mentioning Kamala wouldn’t do all the same things as Trump. I like how they mentioned it was the a stepping stone for Trump’s deportations but I was not referring to that specifically.

Kamala did support the brutal crackdown on student protesters. But, she did indeed not deport them. That said, ICE under Biden and Kamala was already heavily in violation of human rights and continuing the Trump 2016 agenda. Deportation of wrongthink is but the next logical step of the ratchet effect.

PhilipTheBucket liking that that IndustryStandard’s post was nuanced and not as simple as “Kamala bad”.

I think I will do up a FAQ for the disinformation community or something, it is getting tiring repeatedly typing the same responses. But I do appreciate the extra effort to at least put together something which has some semblance of plausibility instead of just seeing “Gaza” and reaching for the “Kamala Harris” button without bothering to make it make sense or relate in literally any way at all. Big improvement. Good stuff.

I was trying to say I liked the nuanced discussion, and was expanding on it with my own experiences.

I appreciate it as well. I don’t like people dismissing the wrong Biden and Kamala have done. However, the people constantly saying it doesn’t matter if you vote for Kamala or Trump because they’re both fascist is wrong and annoying.

~~By this logic, South Africa should have had a violent revolution to end apartheid.~~ It is true that sometimes, violence is the only option. For example, the abolitionist movement in the US tried to end slavery peacefully for decades until things escalated to violence. But saying violence is the only thing that works against an unjust government is unnecessarily dramatic.

Indivisible is the main organizer of the April 5th protests this weekend. In Trump 1.0 they were a big factor in protecting things like the ACA. They also work towards building progressive politics in Red and Purple states. They also work to prevent voter suppression and gerrymandering.

This isn’t even the list of their best accomplishments, but this is from their website: https://indivisible.org/impact

Their whole point is to use political pressure on politicians weak points to make them more likely to cave to their demands. They were a big factor in getting the Democrats to do the filibuster early on in Trump’s second term. They often focus on local politics. It’s a bottom-up strategy. This is also why they keep organizing those town halls.

Burning Tesla cars in particular is very dangerous to firefighters and the general public. I think vandalizing and boycotting Teslas is better.

I use Flashes. Its on ATProto.

Are there no effective peaceful protests in the Netherlands?

Why does everyone not see anything in the Women’s March? It was a massively effective recruiting drive. Indivisible got a lot of members from the Women’s March. Indivisible has been extremely effective against Trump during his first term. They’ve been organizing for ten years.

This is why the majority of people buying and donating bus tickets for the April 5th protest are all women.

Things should be kicking up in the summer. That’s when the recession is supposed to hit.

Occupy Wall Street inspired the movement towards a $15/hr minimum wage and educated people about income inequality. So it didn’t do anything flashy, but it wasn’t useless.
