All these heinous acts are committed by people. People who go home to their friends and family and community. Fuck everybody who turns a blind eye and accepts them, who thinks respecting “both sides” is neutral or even positive.

Same, comrade. This advice applies pretty widely.

Literally just be mean to a military recruiter. Hell just point and laugh or roll your eyes. Pull your kids from cadets. Shun ROTC participants. Refuse sponsorships from military contractors. Don’t take internships at them. Tell them they can’t have a float at your local parade.

All this talk about revolt and it doesn’t really feel like most folks have even considered how impactful being mildly annoying can be.

Making it seem so complicated is part of the calculated effort to reduce resistance. I invite folks to study how domestic resistance to the US invasion of Vietnam helped end US involvement.

I know it wasn’t bloodless but a good solid first step is not feeding your (collective your) babies to the war machine and making involvement in the military industrial complex an unforgivable social sin.

Lol right? Utopia for whom?

I agree, you can’t go around telling people to watch their language as a complete stranger on the internet and not expect to get dunked on.

I can’t wait to hear the americans say “Well, I didn’t vote for him. And I voted for obama, twice!” as I’m being invaded. Very reassuring.

Democrats hate America?? I guess a broken clock is right twice a day

Honestly I wish I had this much free time 😔

The op didn’t mention it tho?

My comment is meant as a potential add on to the meme, clowning on people who are (negatively) obsessed with lemmy.ml and bring it up even though the op did not. There are a few such examples in the comments here, for example.

What would you like to discuss?

Lmao

“It’s got nothing to do with the post but I’m going to mention lemmy.ml for some reason”

I don’t know if you read what I wrote but okay

We have lots of power, comrade - power to choose who we assemble and organize with. That’s how assholes in irl anarchist spaces are dealt with - choosing to not associate or work with someone who would do you or the community harm. (Don’t stretch this to mean I don’t work with people I don’t agree with 100% on everything, how and when you let people into your life can be appropriate for the situation - maybe I’ll show up to another groups event to help them with labour but won’t invite them to join in work I know they will just argue about for example).

The appeal to hierarchy is the joke here.

No there isn’t

ITT people who don’t understand irony

H could also be “hierarchy is based sometimes, actually!”

"k.’

You are wrong

VR tetris rules 🤭
