Yeah but that doesn’t mean we should just give up and let Fascism take over. Any pushback is good, no mater how ineffective it is. Make Trump’s life as difficult as you can. With enough luck, the pressure will send him to an early demise.
Not that it’s relevant at all here, but who do you think came up with the idea to give people participation awards? Do you think it was the children who were confused about getting them?
Well to start, the effectiveness isn’t possible to measure at this point.
However, the comment had nothing to do with that, and instead was about you comparing attempted protests to “participation trophies” which is a conservative dog whistle for “kids these days don’t have that dog eat dog capitalist spirit, do we need more lead in the air again?”
For context, WW2 was faught and won with participation trophy snowflakes. If it was good enough to defeat Nazis then, it’s good enough to defeat Nazis now.
Honest question. First, I agree with you. So it’s why I’m asking. Are you organizing in anyway? Protests? Mutual Aids? Organizations? Anything?
If you think this way I hope so. Because we need you. Shits getting real on the streets and I’m worried most people that realize that are at home watching Twitch streams or YouTube coverage of it.
Doomerism needs to die. You can still be realistic. But doomerism keeps you from acting. It’s the “freeze” of you flight or flight response and it’s not going to help.
Is it though? As planned by MAGA? I’ve seen other news from Portland/Oregon, it looks like the local admin is prepared to stop the National Guard. As well as protesters.
That’s sweet, but it’s not gonna help. It’s gonna happen.

Angry parents probably. Crybaby kids.
Boomers. The answer is boomers.

I think ineffective pushback is bad and I’m on the wrong side? I think wasting time on things that are ineffective is bad and I’m on the wrong side?
We are so fucked 🤪

Yeah and who handed them out, hmm? I didn’t ask for your god damn participation trophy.
The generation that is responsible for raising the “lazy Millennials” sure loves to point the finger instead of looking in the mirror.
I’m a lazy millennial, sorry to burst your bubble.
Then act your age and think for yourself, instead of parroting what your parents told you.
I disagree with you. That doesn’t make me a different generation.
I don’t think you actually read what I said.
Ineffective pushback is a waste of good push energy. Push in a productive way. Thrust, if you must.

The local admin will not line up and be a human shield. It is a ridiculous notion that the storm troopers will stop because of a bunch of paperwork.

Courts have the effect of a few days. If, in a few more days, the California National Guard is in Oregon—will you apologize to me?

We aren’t resisting or practicing non-cooperation.
