Thanks. I'm a yet entirely undefined queer person myself. Thanks for the chat and letting me rant.

I am currently actually. My startup I put my heart into for 5 years got bought out by $BIG_COMPANY for pennies on the dollar a couple years ago. Have just been giving about 2-5% effort since. Half the people that built our startup got screwed over and laid off. It felt only right to give zero effort since then as a survivor of it. Waiting for $BIG_COMPANY to drop next round of layoffs and rethink my career.

I love programming. But this field is just garbage to the people that care about it. I'm bitter for sure. Collecting a paycheck until then. I'm surprised at how little effort I can give and still not get fired.

And don't even get my started on how much this field exploits the fuck out of H1 visas for what is basically modern day serfdom.

/woosh I guess. Resistance to fascism can be called a "felony" too. They called Nelson Mendela, Malcom X, and MLK terrorist too. Maybe take some context for the people that control those definitions of what a "felony" or a "terrorist" are today. Because if you're gonna keep listening to the definitions they use today then you would be better deciding first which side you're on.

I've explained what I've done in other replies to my comment. TLDR: connect with DSA and PSL in your local branch. Or find the best organization resisting ICE right now. Which may literally just be YOU if your area is small enough. And it that case you should be getting to know your neighbors and coworkers asap.

I'm not just rambling online. I'm literally here trying to get people to organize locally. That's kinda the point of this thread.

I hear myself being critical of the politicians doing fuck all to bring material changes. But I guess if we fall further into fascism while liberals resist "enough" symbolically to make us feel better then I'm sure all the brown people that get disappeared to GITMO and ElSalvador will feel some graditiude to our support.

Do your hear yourself? Probably not.

I literally told you something effective to do. Which is what you asked. Or did you want me to point to a politician doing a "better" performative dance that you can follow and use as a reason to do nothing else in your own life?

Not sure if this comment is satire in the way I think or if you really are missing the point that the definition of "terrorism" is a flexible definition that western countries use to classify groups that (morally or not) resist US Imperialism.

Either way. You're close to understanding "Blowback" to US Imperialism and I can respect that.

Not the right comment thread but thank you for participating in the downvotes with me.

I think the more the autism the more you're frustrated that the other autistic people didn't connect to your sarcasm. It's the autism paradox. We found something we thought was relatable to normies and lost all relatability to other neurodivergent people in an attempt to be normal and still no one fucking got it.

But we're on fucking Lemmy. We're all on a level of neurodivergence I'm sure.

Thanks. I was trying to match some dry humor with the frustrations the relationship with wage labor frustrations and my usual balance of alcohol. I'm glad it hit for someone.

I actually appreciate all the downvotes and comments. I'll take the "make people think". Which is why I think my comment got so many replies. Enjoyable either way.
