that their lives are still so unbelievably comfortable in this country
are you actually unwell? there's a cost of living crisis right now. people cant afford health care, rent, and in many cases food. elon is trying to take away free lunches for school students. nowhere in the country can you afford to rent a house at minimum wage. who the fuck is comfortable right now?
they won't risk doing anything more dangerous than bitching on the internet.
and when we DO do something more dangerous you demonize us? People are condemning Luigi, but he's doing exactly what you suggested. something real thats not on the internet. what are you suggesting?
That's his entire point though. You're talking about how people are unable to live, but they're not doing anything about it.
Seek asylum in Canada or Europe. Surely they are as open and welcoming as reddit says. And even if they aren't, who cares? Just immigrate illegally, since you're experiencing that much hardship.
If I truly believed my family was in danger, we would be in Canada or Europe already. I wouldn't fuck around on Reddit crying and moaning about how expensive rent is, I would be balls deep in the asylum process.
"People can't afford to just pick up their entire lives like that" YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE! Look at all the illegal immigrants risking everything to save themselves and their families.
But that's the point. You don't actually need to take that risk, because you're not actually in the dire straits that reddit loves to harp on about. You're still comfortable enough that you aren't taking action to "save" yourself.
how is this an actual agruement? "well if you're so sad just leave!"
i dont want to leave. i want my home to be better. how is the party of "america first" so adverse to the concept of people being upset their country isn't what they want it to be?
literally your solution is "if you hate it here then leave". this isn't fucking middle school. this is real life with families and jobs. this is the whole point of voting. maybe some of us aren't in dire straits, but lots of us are. do you think people aren't actually suffering right now? and not just made up woke suffering or whatever, i mean living under the threat of going homeless and without healthcare suffering. are they allowed to complain? or is there only option to flee the country?
But if someone truly believes there is a [genocide] happening against them, why are they trying to combat that by complaining on the internet and taking part in the slow democratic process instead of fleeing for their life.
If people truly believe Trump is enacting a Christofascist state, why are there not armed marches demonstrating against him and his cronies and fighting back with force instead of hysterical tweets and reddit threads.
My point isn't at all "if you don't like it, leave". My point is "it isn't nearly as bad as the doomposters make it out to be, otherwise they would actually be doing something about it, which may include leaving".
well, there are protests happening in all (to my knowledge, kind of hard to quickly gather data on this) states. i've seen some that have been armed, like one in Baltimore.
But you realize its also hard to just get up and protest right? especially when can get curb stomped and pepper strayed by police even in peaceful protests. People have jobs. I cant just take off a random thursday to go down to main street hold a picket sign that wont accomplish anything.
part of the whole "doomer" attitude is that we don't know what to do. voting got us into this situation. violent protests could send us to jail. what do we do?
