Careful, every American on Lemmy has about 6 or 7 thought-stopping cliches ready to defend their cowardly fucking inaction.

Murican here. I just lack a spine like the rest of my countrymen. No sense making excuses.

You probably also have access to food and basic infrastructure and services. That gives you incentive not to risk your life violently overthrowing the government.

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Give it some time.

I don’t respect the position, but I appreciate that you’ve got more integrity than just about everyone else I get responses from.

Do you imagine people in Nepal to have big savings accounts and investments in NVidia?

Truth is - if you are not bothered enough by the situation to risk your confort and way of life, then you are ok with the situation and accept it.

100%. Anyone pretending to disagree with this is just trying to assuage their guilt for being huge cowards.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Honestly? People who are living paycheck to paycheck have MORE reasons to risk everything and FAR fewer excuses for allowing the status quo to persist. Who the fuck do you think should be burning shit down if not the people most victimized by it?

[-] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

people SHOULD go out and die. not me tho. other people.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Right, let me book a flight to another country whose citizens can't be bothered to fight back on their own to show them how it's done.

[-] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

sure just advocate for violence that you wouldnt commit yourself.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Didn't say I wouldn't. Just said I'm not going to fly to other countries to do it.
