Hey Muricans, this is what you wanted and voted for (or could’t be bother voting to prevent)… enjoy
or, hit the streets and remove the fascist gov you elected
I feel like the overlap of fediverse users and trump voters is close to 0
Yeah but there are a bunch of “I’m going to not vote to ‘send a message’! who cares if that makes the nazis win?” types
I wonder how many of those were Russian bots
That reminds me, I wonder what @[email protected] is up to these days.
Paging @[email protected].
8000 comments in 9 months, dead silent shortly after the election. (World, .ml is more active now)
Jesus.
The Lemmy.World mods permabanned and removed my account after I made a detailled posed exposing them for being massive Zionists in one of my posts on yepowetrippingbastards which got removed by db0. (A powetripping bastard. Ironic).
I am a lot less active since the trifecta of libs (db0, .world and blahaj) instantly ban my accounts. As soon as this was created I made a post about the Lemmy.world mods going on a Zionist power trip and removing my account and db0’s response was to ban this account as well and censor the whole ordeal.
Apparantly, (in the US) any protest that needs to occupy the road requires a permit. Yea imagine how stupid it is, you want to protest the government and you need to apply for permission?!? I was shocked when my teacher told me about this. Seems like a huge First Amendment violation to me, but society just goes along with it. 😓
So unless your protest is strictly on the sidewalk, you need a permit. So fucking dumb.
Public roadways are for travel.
that’s literally why blocking roads in protest is so effective. enough angry calls to the mayor office due to people being late for work etc, is how protesting puts pressure on representatives to actually represent the people.
or did you think that huddling on sidewalks holding signs was supposed to do something?
Blocking roads in protest has proven effective at exactly one thing: Increasing the enforcement and penalties for jaywalking.
It is counterproductive at everything else.

Where did I say huddle on sidewalks?
I think JSO should be firebombing ICE car dealerships, gas stations, muffler shops, and other entities and agents of the oil industry. Not harassing victims of that industry.

Well… no.
Excellent retort, but I can cite the legislative record supporting my point.
I can cite many news articles which show that protesting in this way is more effective.
