I think both are quite unhelpful. Mocking him doesn’t do anything to him or his base. Worse, it often takes the form of ableism and then you’re just hurting people around you. Organizing does. It’s the only thing the ruling elites fear. Join a protest, a union, a strike, and get more people involved.

I didn’t say anything against organizing? I have something against petty bourgeois libs spouting bullshit in the media and not doing anything useful. I applaud people actually organizing, especially those in labor (unions)!

I did - all these types of ‘backlash against Trump’ that are being reported on are mostly hot air.

Sure, but usually, like here, it’s limited to some social media and press moments. Liberal posturing doesn’t stop fascists. I hope there’s better organizing happening on the ground, but I’m not seeing much from where I am in Europe.

“Widespread backlash” isn’t really something that has any repercussions to him, his entourage or his base.

Ah yes, that’ll do it

Why? That seems like a great addition to his resume in this administration?

They also don’t use much energy. You can do a lot of reading on one charge.

I already quit many corporate social media platforms in the years before, switching to decentralized alternatives for some of them (Mastodon mainly), but was still active on Reddit somehow. Then during the Reddit blackout protest, it was as good a time as any to check out and switch to Lemmy. Its downsides for me are also part of the upside: there is no endless scrolling to be done.

Can confirm: it’s a great game and really worth it! Loved the dark atmosphere as well.

cough class war is a leftist struggle But yeah, let’s hope this makes some on the right see the light where their real interests lie.

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Watch people flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot instead of going for something less dystopian.

Really goes for almost everything. I don’t want my machines and appliances to be ‘smart’ and ‘connected’. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that’s it.

It’s main purpose is to make some die-hards angry, I think.

Are those still playable? Loved those, great vibe!

Played Dredge on the Steam Deck, which was a nice, relaxing experience.

Besides that I’ve been playing Blood: Fresh Supply on my beefy gaming pc. Great fun, much glee when blowing up hordes of cultists.

I’m pretty sure that Hamburg isn’t such an area, and that SUV’s are a totally unecessery folly there. This isn’t hurting working class families. (Also, people like you do have power, organize)

These type of actions do have an effect in SUV sales though.

No form of protest is acceptable to liberals (let alone conservatives). When you peacefully protest, no one pays attention, when you damage private property, everybody screams, when you are disruptive while not damaging said private property, you’re still a dick. So who cares, keep on going.
