Do you know any international politics or national policy? As in what the country, in hand with the complicity of the middle class, has done to both it’s own citizens and the rest of the world? For the entirety of its 300 year history?

No?

Time to start learning perhaps. The people who do know are the people who will help you in crisis.

There’s less than nothing in it for me to change your mind about anything. You’re on Lemmy and you’ve had a great deal of opportunity to do so on your own time.

I’m sorry you think you’re living trans friends lend to whatever argument you’re trying to make. According to the government they even exist anymore. The Republicans have been calling for blood openly for many years. It’s going to get a lot worse than a downturn in the economy and it’s not going to get bettter if people don’t start to see the bigger picture.

I’m glad you’re losing money, it brings me joy to see the middle class finally freaking out, even if it’s for reasons that are utterly selfish and blind to the real struggles minorities have been facing for decades. Maybe if you buy gold instead?

God Lemmy is a shit hole now

I mean, good. The country voted in a fascist on a policy of trans genocide and it takes a tanking economy for any kind of mass protests to take place. The government was killing my friends long before Trump was elected but that didn’t effect your safe little bubble. If the violence has to be explicit, then so be it.

Fuck your stocks. How many trans friends have you lost and did you even really care until it started affecting the economy. Fuck your stocks.

It’s fascinating how Lemmy users view internet consumption habits as a reflection of personal ethics. You can’t always hold other people to the standards you’ve achieved. Using and navigating Lemmy takes effort insight that the majority just don’t have. Being alive also takes effort and can be very painful. Sometimes people just need to be able to turn off and zone out. Try not to place value judgements on the ways that other people do that.

Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It’s not progressive to point the finger at people who don’t have the luxury of hand picking an “ethical profession”-something I’d love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.

Dread to ask but comparatively to what?
