also there’s a difference between an imperfect coalition and a compromised coalition. you may not be religious, but the organizations closest to you might be religious. it’s far better to talk with open minded elca lutherans than close minded patriot front goons about what to do next. understand that there are many kinds of fascist and many kinds of anti-fascist. even the deepest red counties have people who who voted for harris because they have seen firsthand the dangers of christofascism. project 2025 is deeply unpopular and a disturbing number of people still don’t realize that voting for trump and against project 2025 was not and is not an available ballot option.

here’s the thing: this will never be over. not until the entire world over is free. every rise of authoritarianism has given us stories of heroes who resisted. you can hear their echos all throughout religious stories, songs, and secular media. they all tell us the same things: as long as we make art to pass down to the children, no authoritarian can ever rule forever, not even the ur-farscist, the political strongman who crops up every 80 years to lie to us about how he will free us.

right now, start telling the word truths about itself in places the right wing doesn’t know how to reach. writing by hand in a journal, creating poetry, singing songs, writing in the streets with chalk. these are all things you can do while you’re still looking for someone to organize with that help pass on the truth of the world to future people.

also, look for marginalized people in your community. they have been living with this terror all along. they know:

1. what to do
2. what you can do that will help
3. the kinds of things people new to this do that they think is help that actually isn’t

in other words: they are veterans of this 10k year long war. they have inherited stories you have never heard, and they still have hope even as things get worse for them.

i believe in you, and i believe in the power of everlasting peace, one where there’s room for everyone at the table and everyone gets a plate before anyone gets seconds

thanks. you too. i see the failures as being mostly relating to misunderestimating the power of the right wing propaganda machine, even as the world over has gotten more authoritarian

didn’t mean to spread any misinformation. i still see in what you’ve sent me that latin men lag behind latin women by a significant margin voting about evenly between trump and harris

she’s a politician who spouts conspiracy misinformation. the next president wants her to head the cia and fbi

i wish i could see that as a good thing, or a bright side, but i just don’t. even if someone chose to be tortured, they’re still getting tortured, and the only motivation for that crowd has ever been blaming us for their suffering. they will endure great torture as long as they get to wish a worse life on someone else. they will suffer, yes, but they will blame us. the mass media is already paving the road for this line of thinking, saying Kamala ran too far to the left, which to me sounds like a dog whistle for too much minority support, given how far right she ran

100%. all of them could realistically be any of the horses at the right moment in time

i brought up ukraine because all the active genocides, the ones in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and the Gobi desert are interconnected. our world’s billionaires want us to blame minorities for our problems instead of them. i want to make it abundantly clear i think harris and biden suck, but it’s definitively not the same things under trump. the top ten billionaires are all already richer and our new regime will do nothing to hear us and slow these genocides. they will accelerate genocide and reduce our ability to find truth by inundating us with bullshit narratives about how it’s the left (the actual left, people like me) who are bad, actually.

this is definitively a worsening, and acting like it’s not means you’re more likely to get caught standing still when you need to be resisting. i am under the impression you think you’re helping, which is a good start, but you need to start looking at the bigger picture. get on board with that the modern world is fully interconnected, and that everything is about to get way more authoritarian than you’ve grown accustomed to, when it was already very authoritarian

i went with gabbard as conquest since she’s a Russian asset

my concern is all the people who voted against it and will get harmed first as the people who didn’t push back sit back and laugh because they fail to see the people they just enabled see them as with us, and not as part of their cabal

pictured left to right, famine, conquest, war, and pestilence

he’s emboldening world leaders enacting genocide. netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting. zelenskyy, long a leader saying Ukraine would never give up any territory is planning to enter diplomatic peace talks and loss of territory will almost certainly be part of that.

your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.

you get a star

i still can’t believe that lie worked on people…

no one hates immigrants more than an immigrant who made it

i’ve heard that quote a few times. but i think it’s on the whole sadder:

no one hates the poor more than a poor person who thinks they made it

right? mozilla, you gotta focus on making a good web browser right now. not a more gimmicky web browser

i think there’s so much discourse about this since Latin men voted, on the whole, for trump. there is a non zero number of people who, if trump implements his border control plan, voted for their own deportation

people with accents, too. doesn’t matter if you’ve been here for ten years: if you sound different, someone will report you to ICE

and russia’s system of torture is currently going global…

i took a long hiatus. i’m still not sure being back on lemmy is a good thing for me. so much propaganda getting spread that’s unhelpful to our overall aims, and presence gives power to the propagandist

nope. i was vehemently against that method of thought
