Watch for all the incoming threats that they are domestic terrorists and need to be locked up as they ramp up support and rally the masses together to a common goal.
The common goal is what’s missing. I’ve seen MANY protest posters about every issue in the last 10ish years…not good. Too segregated. It needs to be narrowed down to just democracy. Many people don’t like trans and won’t support it, left or right. But they will support democracy. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but it needs to be unified to draw the most support possible.
Many people don’t like trans and won’t support it, left or right.
This is such a strange way to refer to this. Do you mean trans rights? Trans people? “Trans” as a collective “it” doesn’t make sense.
Frankly, you stating that you’re “not saying it’s right or wrong” seems to me to reveal your personal bias, especially when combined with this extremely bizarre wording. I don’t think it’s reflective of how most people see us. Generalized transphobia is a minority opinion. Solidarity in the face of oppression isn’t.
Dividing us isn’t going to work.
I just used trans as an example. Waset specifically trying to out any groups. I’ve just seen protest posters for trans, Tesla, freedom, constitution, gay rights, education, and basically everything that the current prick is trying to dismantle.
My point was more that the various posters/images for protest that I have seen, are dividing and could easily put people off depending on which one they have seen.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in for everyone’s rights regardless of their beliefs, feelings, thoughts provided they are also inclusive of everyone. (Ie no Nazi bullshit…)
All of those subjects of protests are symptomatic of the larger issue (wealth inequality/oligarchy)
The protests you’re seeing are the proximal issues people are angry with, but they all share a root cause: oligarchy.
It’s important because ‘oligarchy’ is too abstract for most people to have strong feelings about, but a specific oligarch destroying public services that everybody rely on is extremely salient. While it might feel divided from your perspective, it’s still very useful for people to recognize the real ways the capital-‘P’-Problem is affecting them.
Its still confusing for you to just say the word “trans” what do you mean? Trans rights? Trans people? Trans representation? “People don’t like trans” isn’t a sentence that makes sense because “trans” is an adjective.
Will they though? The biggest lemmy instance are a bunch of anti-Democratic pro authoritarian tankies. Maybe these people are too terminally online to attend protests but I don’t think we can just assume Democracy is some universal thing we can rally people behind. As they say, if Republicans can’t win via democracy, they will simply abandon it.
I think people will support democracy.
The biggest lemmy instance…
That seems like a flaw in this reasoning. I don’t think the behavior of society as a whole can be extrapolated from the behavior of Lemmy users.
Like I said:
“Maybe these people are too terminally online to attend protests”
So I agree you can’t extrapolate the behavior of society as a whole from what happens on Lemmy, but you can use it to pinpoint outliers.
I was just using the .ml instance as one example to show that “democracy” isn’t as universally unifying as OP thinks.
I would frankly be shocked to discover that instances like lemmy.ml aren’t either mostly populated by bot-farm workers and state actors or by people who’ve been taken in by their rhetoric. They don’t seem very representative of real people who aren’t terminally online with an extremely niche perspective.
Fuck Elon Musk. May be overdose on ketamine and never wake up.
And it’s making Republicans nervous.
Doubt.
I should fucking hope so, because if shit keeps going like it is Elon’s gonna find his head being swiftly removed from his body before long.
Why would these rallies piss of Elon? The rallies are:
- fake news
- paid protestors
- AI
Shit I can’t remember: which made up theory is the GOP going with today?
