  • My understanding of the event:

    • 4chan jokes they should pretend the okay hand sign is a white supremacist dog whistle to trigger libs.
    • They do and it works.
    • Online shitters who’s whole personality is “triggering sjw’s” pick up on this and perpetuate the joke to continue to trigger people.

    Basically people getting mad at a joke caused it to become a real thing to some degree. While not a supremacist symbol it was heavily used by them for a time.

    Actually no, details don’t matter! Women’s suffrage ran on the idea they deserved the right to vote. They didn’t start out demanding a constitutional amendment specifically and immediately 😀. The civil rights movement didn’t detail how to repeal Jim Crow laws and last out step by step how to integrate the black community . Please read a book, educate yourself on how change occurs instead of constantly saying it can’t happen and doing your best to make it so (by doing nothing). The idea that you need a step by step plan to fix injustice or it’s not possible is insane.

    Edit: also, until you get the least bit of education, I can’t engage with you any further. You’re utterly exhausting, sorry!

    Sure! Continue to get active in our communities, create support networks, and once you get enough supporters strike until change is implemented. That’s just a non-violent option too.

    If you’d like to learn more about things being “impossible” and still changing, maybe read a history book! Civil rights, women’s suffrage, and the rise of the AFL are great starting points.

    There’s literally no way to send someone on American soil to El Salvador without due process. Check the Constitution if you think I’m lying. Still happened.

    Stop pretending we have to work within the system as if the system works for us.

    American exceptionalsm is so freaking annoying, dealing with it first hand trying to get people to realize we’re not actually the good guys and we aren’t actually the best is exhausting.

    Seriously the majority of people here are ignorant to the world at large and brainwashed.

    The irony of Biden approving more drilling and selling more protected land than any other president in history makes this comment so freaking funny.

    Sure Trump is trying to best Biden on that front, but the fact that a Democrat already had that mantel at all and you have the nerve to comment this is just peak.

    How the solution became “vote for my person even if they don’t represent you” and not “hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it.” Is beyond all reason.

    When you realize Democrats are just blue MAGA it makes more sense. They’ve become entirely “any vote (or lack of vote) that isn’t blue is wrong and you’re a piece of shit,” despite their candidates mirroring early 2000 Republicans.

    It’d be hilarious how unprincipled Democrats are if they werent the only option next to fascists

    Even Obama abandoned his promise to codify Roe V Wade immediately despite having a super majority his first 6 months in office.

    Biden complained about Trump putting kids in camps during his first term. Only to not close said camps upon taking power - in fact he used those very same camps MORE than Trump.

    Biden called himself the greenest president for his energy investment despite approving more drilling and selling more protected land to oil companies than any other president in history (though current Trump is looking to best that).

    You feel like you lose because you do. These people do not care about us.



  • Racism is an issue. It’s also a symptom of the problem. It’s used as a tool to pit the working class against each other.

    Head on over to Beattyville, Kentucky or Ironton, Ohio and tell them how privileged they are because they’re white, I’m sure that will get then on your side. Most Jobless drug addicts living in hovels. No chance for any prosperity but at least they’re “privileged.”

    I guarantee if you reach out a hand and tell them you were left behind by this country too they’ll be more receptive to marching with you.

    It’s a class war, always.
