So tired of "protests are useless" posting. There are good ways to make a critique of a movements but this is not it.

The past decade around the globe protest movements exploded into radical restructuring of various countries' way of governing. This particular protest doesn't seem like it will evolve into that, but no one ever predicted the outcome of past eruptions.

A protest isn't a reliable or advisable way to create a revolution, but they are still great organizing opportunities and solidarity building events.

Please stop with the nihilism

Tofu and lentils are so much cheaper than meat.

Diy'ing things too. If you ever need a new tool or household item or have to fix something you're almost certainly not the first, so searching up DIY _ or How to Fix _ will almost always pull up a handy guide. I've saved thousands at this point

Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can't revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.

Wouldn't those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?

I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.

Hey, uh, I think this thing is broken

Nah, it's working as intended, if you look back here both levers are pressing this button that says 'Barbarism'

Saw something about this recently as well as the direct harm to wildlife that is caused by paving roads that were once gravel which allows for drivers to go much faster and ultimately results in more vehicle strikes either maiming or killing wildlife that used to be able to safely cross

So rather than take a side based on previously accurate death counts from this ministry in past Israeli military action, you choose to sit on the sidelines?

Useful idiots like you are how atrocities like this continue on.

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

They could go to any bank and leverage that asset for a loan for more than everyone who posts on this platform will make in their lifetimes no problem. That is a nonsense talking point

You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

[-] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

Yeah, equivalent of trying to make me feel bad for Steven Crowder's staff

You're such a redditor

It's also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.

You're really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

Time for you to go make friends with the fascists and shitlibs who share your opinions I guess
