Enjoy it. As long as you aren't busting out laughing at a funeral this sounds like a gift.

Good! It seems the only thing American elites respond to is money, and too many Americans are addicted to consumption to stop giving these assholes money.
Folks like you are why I love lemmy. Thanks!
Trans porn is fine, it's just trans people that they have a problem with.
I'm not being dismissive of their view, I understand the need for self-preservation. I think the crux of it is how do I get folks who agree things are going wrong to move from that space into one of more action? Almost everyone I'm talking to at work agrees with me, but no one is interested in organizing or preparing, and that's what baffles me most.
I don't know myself - I don't have some grand plan or idea. Im a regular person (albeit one with a better historical understanding of history due to education). I'm just scared about what's coming next, and I'm completely isolated at the end of the day. Rather than buy a bunch of guns and ammo, I would prefer to connect with folks to build mutual support, or to prepare to strike/protest/boycott (or whatever seems most effective at the time).
Thank you.
I'm not lecturing, I'm asking for help on how to approach this. This is closer to frustrated bitching than lecturing.
Most of the folks I talk to hear agree with me that things are going wrong, or that x,y, or z is a problem, but not enough to do anything about it. I have heard a few times that, " I want to do something, but I have to protect myself."
I used that term to show that they are privileged folks who likely won't be directly targeted by the administration, at least at first.
Lol no, but that's funny. I just meant Joaquin Phoenix stole the show. It was the first time I watched a movie and hated someone like that. Then I realized he's a really likeable guy, and I hated the character because he was well written and he gave such a good performance.
Any conversation about the acting in this movie that only talks about Crowe has missed the forest for the trees.
Dammit, Spider-Man, you got me. Guess I'll just wait it out.
