And what action would you like to take?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Long lasting general strikes and boycots would be an effective tool. I realize they would be painful, or even impossible, for people to support themselves through in many cases, whuch is why things like mutual aid and strike funds need to be set up first.

If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone's entertainment and they'll get pissed real fast.

They're using 'Bread and circuses' to pacify, so remove the circuses and watch the anger boil up.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

They're doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us

You do have a point, media helps keep the cattle calm and distracted...

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean like when there was a writer's strike and basically nothing happened and basically nothing changed?

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

maybe more like when they took away social media in nepal and they burned that fucker down

[–] Mora@pawb.social 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

A couple of days ago someone brought the right tools to the debate😉

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That really changed things didnt it. Except no... It didnt.

i don’t know, i feel much better, and those in power now hire more security and canceled plans, which is a good indication they are scared. also talk of assassination is getting normalized. the tone has defenatly changed

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

We just need to keep winning debates..

One of them dies and the rest of us are dealing with the consequences.

Look up 'pyrrhic victory.'

[–] Mora@pawb.social 18 points 1 week ago

So why would you stop at one?

edited. Thank you.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Because the rest of you didn’t get up and continue the fight.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh no, don't give the nazi regime pretense for the things they already did and already were planning to do! That would be horrible!

[–] thaklor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Like bringing a sucker punch to a gun fight.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Protests, Marches, call for General Strike, Civil Disobedience, etc etc etc

Trumptard may not care about your opinion but he would have to care if the country stops working...

And yes, I know it's hard... but this is what you get after decades of apathy and "fuck you, got mine"... you don't like it? you are certainly going to hate living the rest of your life under fascism

[–] sixty@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Use the guns for what they were meant for

I want the rest of the world to commit to a defensive pact against the USA. "If either of us is attacked by the USA, we will both go to war with them". I want a pan-continental alliance. Let's get Europe, China, Russia, South America, Oceania, and the Middle East in this. Mexico and Canada can join too. And I'm not saying I agree with Hamas, but they do have a lot of experience against American military hardware, and the enemy of the USA is my friend.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure that the same folks who couldn't get Harris elected will be able to create an international pact more powerful than the UN.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well we're not allowed to vote in US elections, so the Harris situation doesn't really reflect on our abilities.
