It’s actually a measure of distance.

Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I’d prefer that he “fight like hell” for the US at the moment.

Have you tried switching your feed to sort by active?

People who gatekeep?

Actually, everything is salad.

I want more countries to start speaking up about the fascists and human rights violations in the US. It’s harder for Americans to ignore by immediately claiming partisan bias.

Even better, start refusing to do business with the economic giants and billionaires in the US, especially as the US continues to lose global influence. It hurts the rich assholes and they’re the ones who can (and do) pressure the gov to change on a far faster timeline than activism can achieve.

I love the specificity of Mexican beer.

You’re right about the need to organize locally, but I don’t think it applies in this context, given local movements can realistically impact state and federal politics at a slow pace at the best of times (which is usually ok–they’re local organizations, after all).

It’s frustrating to find a lack of mechanisms to affect URGENT change to the federal government without the benefit of time, legal consistency, privacy, powerful allies, money and resources, (I could go on for ages).

I would’ve learned so much more in Biology with TTRPG framing.

Can’t miss out on that NIMBY vote.

The real pedo bears are the friends you made along the way.

It’s due to a large chunk of the people believing religiously indoctrinated to believe a text can be infallible.

If you start from that assumption, it’s a whole lot easier to understand why the constitution can be so rabidly defended from change and why the fantasy lore of its authors is rarely questioned.

Your regional library or local makerspace may have 3d printers you can print with.

Do you have any resources or documentation of your build? It sounds like a cool project.

Not directing this to you, specifically, but if you’re in the US and you feel similarly, please please please use this anger at this “slow” part of the political cycle to get involved in your local political scene.

This can look like uplifting people who align with your values in political organizations, volunteering in a specific candidate’s campaign to get them on the primary ballot, or even running for a local office yourself (yes you, even if you don’t think you’re qualified).

The people doing this “unsexy” work between elections are the people who eke out actual change. They always need more support during this time, and by becoming involved, you can see the impacts of your efforts, and get the right kind of people on primary ballots.

When these people win local and state offices, they build momentum (read: fundraising) and gain political experience they can leverage to run for even higher offices.

It’s still a lot of work, and it’s slow, but it’s the realistic, proven path to affecting politics when you’re not a nepobaby, a constitutional law professor, or a D-list celebrity.

All that being said, I very much support other activism for fighting the creeping threat of total fascism in the meantime as well.

Nice to see the thumbnail showing he’s still jacking off ghosts.
