Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

ITT: a bunch of smug Europeans with their heads so far up their asses the only way they might see day light is if they opened their mouths wide enough.
If you don't see the threat, or active existence, of fascism in your country (it sure as fuck is already here in the UK), that's not because it isn't there, it's because you're not looking hard enough (or at all) past the bare minimum they've provided you (health care! yes, defunded in to uselessness. Workers rights! yes, to keep slaving away while the obscenely rich keep getting richer off of your labour while you struggle to afford rent, let alone qualify for a mortgage), and the one developed country where it's worse for you to point and laugh at, instead of act to ensure you don't suffer the exact same fate, which you, we, are hurtling towards at light speed in an epic race to the bottom.
I don't think that this post is a serious attempt at anything really, but fuck me if the replies to it aren't a dire indictment of the state of apathy and wilful ignorance in the general population - globally.
It's hard to have anything but apathy for a "movement" as nebulous as this.
What are the goals for 7/7? What are you ACTUALLY doing?
Fuck all if I know from this post, googling doesn't show anything.
You'd think a "movement" with a presence in 43 states would have some kind of mission statement or something.
As it is?
"GIVE ME AMBIGUITY OR GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE! GIVE ME AMBIGUITY OR GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE!
GIVE ME AMBIGUITY OR GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE!"
I agree, but seriously the Euroid comments need to go. Too much of it is either privelege and ignorance ("just move bro!") or active dehumanization ("I live in a CIVILIZED country.")
Personally, I'm 100% on board with "The Movement or Bust" .
