Set fire to the Capitol. Got it

    Careful, every American on Lemmy has about 6 or 7 thought-stopping cliches ready to defend their cowardly fucking inaction.

    At this point I'm pretty sure at least half the people cirtisizing lack of violence in America are feds trying to get people to spill incriminating evidence. You look stupid complaining online about not hearing about shit you can't say online. No one's booting up an onion router to brag to some shithead on lemmy about how they returned a tear gas canister to the cops.

    We tried in 2020, libs quickly coopted the movement by pretending to be at the front of it and that we had less radical demands, defused it by pretending to agree to those demands, and then supported republicans in opposing any of the demands, with Biden telling states to divert covid funds to police. Before I left, people seemed too tired and beaten down to really try again.

    You can make the meme for most countries in the west. The past couple days have been us celebrating the latest Banksy performative protest as if that's done anything more than be more art in the ocean of art to be snooty about socially and continue on with the ever weak art based protest. 30 years of performative art centric leftist culture and 30 years of neoliberalism shifting further and further to the right

    I love Lemmy and I enjoy that it's less of a constant news+politics festival than Reddit, but the downside of that is that you won't get exposure to some pretty important events just by browsing the top posts. You have to go to a news comm, can't rely on the community to put the most important news at the top. Many days there have been huge news events and the top Lemmy posts are all comics and memes - nothing wrong with that! The community can be whatever it wants. But as a user , especially if you're coming from Reddit, you've gotta know to supplement your news with other sources (which really you should be doing anyways).
