FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

A-fuckin-goddamn-men.

You need to communicate with people. Berating them is entirely self serving. No one ever said "you know what? I am a moron, thanks for pointing out my worldview is entirely wrong and I'm an asshole in those exact words."

You can get people to realize they're wrong, but calling them names is exactly the wrong way to do it.

I say "talk to a conservative in conservative language" and they'll understand you. Avoid "trigger" words like redistribution, socialism, LGBT+, etc... use words like "Liberty, freedom of expression, government overreach (when discussing infringement of LGBT+ rights) etc..."

i feel like sometimes people forget the little username in their phone represents a living breathing life that may or may not have had breakfast this morning :(

Well.... with the amount of bots confirmed to be out there.... and some of those living breathing lives are out to convince Americans that what they actually want to do is hand Dr. Fascismo the presidency by not voting or protest voting third party.

Ha, I think at least 70% of Internet arguments are caused by hangryness!

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

yes and the other 30% are caused by people being bags of flesh with bones and sickness inside
