It’s a nice thought, but unless toppling Tesla also somehow reverses destruction of the public education system, and also something about the complex systematic, and very much intentional, polarization of individuals through social media feeds then this won’t stop Republicans or Russia in the end.
Think of it more as exercise. It takes a bit for people to get rolling. If we can take down tesla, then we learn we can do more. Revolution doesn’t start at the finish line.
This exactly, and more people need to understand it. A one day boycott of Amazon doesn’t do much to Amazon, especially since many people will simply defer spending to the next day. What it does do is give a simple goal for people to participate who haven’t done this sort of thing before. Then you expand it to longer time periods and more targets.
The current Amazon boycott is 7 days and isn’t over until the 14th, BTW.
Idk man melon seems pretty upset rn I’d say carry right on chaps looks like you’re going the right way o7
Right, Twitter should be in there too.
Also worth noting, Tesla’s stock price skyrocketed when it was made clear Elon would take over the government. It is now basically back to where it was before this.
I will get excited when it starts losing years worth of value.
It shouldn’t be Russians, but Putin
Edit: You know what, some Russians are good people. Not everyone in Russia is a bootlicker
Of course this is true but when youre in a conflict you dont have the luxury of making distictions.
This is like Americans reminding us ‘not all Americans are like this’. Its like, yeah bro we know but your country is actively threatening ours, so tough.
Which foreigners are we gonna decide is the reason the US isn’t a democracy to hide the fact the state is owned by the ruling class next? I vote for going back to the Japanese
I bet it’s gonna be China, they’ve been setting that stage for years
You even see people eating it up on Lemmy.
Since some people in this thread need to hear it: China is not your enemy
Until my fellow citizens have their basic needs met I will assume anyone not actively working towards that goal is my enemy. Rich people in China are gaming the system to consolidate wealth just like our billionaires are. That doesn’t make them worse or better than us but in the context of my immediate concerns it makes them less relevant.
My money’s on Iran but China is always in contention for this coveted distinction.
Swap Republicans and Trump
Trump basically is the republican party anymore
man. i dont think any of this would be happening if people weren’t fucking lazy and just voted in November. like god damn who cares if the line is long for one night.
There are numerous ideological and philosophical frameworks that attempt to explain how fascism takes rise, so why do you just blame it on laziness?
Did Hitler come to power because of German industrialization, German embarrassment from WWI, the great depression, and other global economic hardships, or did Hitler come to power simply because Germans were lazy and didn’t vote?
Our turn towards fascism was inevitable, and it can be explained better than with some nebulous concept of “laziness”.
At the very minimum, start asking yourself why Americans are not enthusiastic about voting.
That happens every single election. How about, instead of attacking people who are rightfully unconvinced this system works, you attack the people actually doing the fascism.
You’re like a fuckin’ Russian bot, only helping to divide. Fuckin’ dumbass democrats, man. This is why you lose.
This is not about money anymore
Row row
Is ok to be xenophobe against Russians now?
There are plenty of Russians who are wonderful persons.
It’s like judging all Americans for what Trump is doing.
There are also plenty of Russians invading their neighbour, slaughtering thousands of innocent people.
Just like the complacent Americans sitting by watching their “leader” destroy the civility of the free world. The Russians are no better.
Being a bad or good person is not tied to nationality.
It’s called conscription. Russians have two choices: poverty or war. And the slaughter is way bigger in the russian lines.
There is a third one. Overthrow that damn imperial psychopath in their government.
It’s like judging all Americans for what Trump is doing.
In case you haven’t noticed, that is what is happening
I understand all the hate against billionares and political elite, but what’s up with hating russians, including civilians? Especially these days, when russian citizen equals to bloody war, poverty and censorship.
i think its more towards putin. i dont have an issue with russians, i have an issue with putin
Republicans should be replaced with Americans. It’s all the same bullshit American culture.
Welcome to liberal q-anon.
Where we go one, we bicker incessantly?
Instead of Russians it should be Democrats and then USA…
Nooooo the parties aren’t the same 😡😡😡 The Democrats just needed one more term in power and they will have fixed everything
The hate to Russia is somewhat misplaced, Putinism is more or less a by product of America. It will be less a problem once Americans stop hate themselves.
What a dogshit take.
So it’s America’s fault Putin wants to reclaim old Soviet land. What kind of weak feeble minded child is Putin if that is her motivation.
It’s America’s fault that America is turning fascist. You don’t just get to run a 200 year political experiment built on genocide under the guidance of white landowners, and then start scapegoating Russians once that project inevitably and predictably goes fascists. This is American exceptionalism.
Lol, and I’m sure your country or any country other than the US wasn’t built on blood. Fuck outta here with your Russian apologist bs.
“The wholesale American genocide of Native Americans is Ruzzian propaganda!”
Way to intentionally miss the point. Expected from an .ml loser.
Like… what is your point though? “Abolish all states”? While that would be based, I’m afraid that’s not what you meant.
What point? That in order for any country to form, it must carry out a genocide so effective that it inspires Hitler? And I am the apologist?
Your comment is honestly psychopathic in the way you use “blood” as a euphemism for a genocide that killed some 10 million Native Americans.
Nonetheless, burning a house down doesn’t rebuild any houses, even if it is the arsonist’s house going up in flames.
Exactly, you can ask the talking heads how that went…
