I never rejected anything, maybe try reading again and this time not just seeing what you want. And what was successful before doesn’t mean it will be successful today. People just don’t understand context or nuance. That’s you dog.

Yeah, it wasn’t one guy on Reddit lol. Why haven’t you started the revolution?
And y’all wonder why people rag on .ml.
That doesn’t even make sense…
Jesus what a mess of a sentence. You really tried to hamfist that one in there.
How does one go about building their own government/economic system?
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?1·1 month agoNo, you just don’t understand tariffs. I think about other countries a lot, like how they have to pay us, like so much money. We’re all going to be rich.

Plus people are struggling just to eat, they can’t all strike. It’s really not that simple.

Feels so muted here.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊13·2 months agoNo, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong, but asking someone to suffer for your benefit while you refuse to suffer is self centered and shows a lack of conviction. If you take it a step further and start demanding it, like some are, you start to look like what you’re fighting against.
“Everyone needs to protest, it won’t stop until they feel it! Not me, I mean I’m not going to do that, but people need to. Even if it hurts them and theirs! I’ll be waiting.”
Thanks for listening I guess.
Edit for your edit: it is about collective action. Action he is demanding that can cause great suffering to those who perform it, so that he can benefit from that action. Action, that while demanding it, he refuses to take part in. This is about people demanding others to suffer for their benefit.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊12·2 months agoYeah and? You’re asking someone to make the choice to not provide for their family. One person starving doesn’t make others starving any less meaningful. Seriously? This would create more homeless people. So if a new law was passed that made you homeless or wouldn’t matter, I mean there were homeless people already. Or if a whole town gets destroyed by a natural disaster, who cares, there were already people with nothing. The lack of empathy or just human decency is insane here.
I’m not using them as a shield. That’s your problem, you’re not willing to try to understand the point, you see it as a fight you have to win. I’m explaining a situation and why I’m certain situations people are going to be human and try to do what it takes to eat and take care of their children. Asking them to not do that is a very large, and some might say heartless ask. Are you willing to risking being homeless or unable to eat to protest? If not, you’re asking someone to suffer immensely while you sit back comfortably.
A lot of people ITT seem to have no problem demanding that people put their livelihoods on the line and risk everything they have, but I don’t see one person demanding that actually doing anything close to that themselves.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊33·2 months agoThat’s easy to say. But when a mother won’t be able to feed her kids or pay rent it becomes less black and white. I’d ask the people who keep saying this requires sacrifice, what have you sacrificed that is on that level? Because you should be ready to do the same.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all?1·2 months agoIt’s important to me that I have no goal or purpose, and I will focus on making that come true no matter that.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊14·2 months agoCool, deflecting again. I don’t care about the difference, it means nothing. It’s something you’re bringing up to deflect from the core point: you said people need to protest for extended periods, till it hurts. Have you done that, or are you being an absolute hypocrite, it’s any easy question but you keep dodging it for some reason. I wonder why…
I mean you could be organizing the next protest instead of messing around on Lemmy. But here you are, preaching and virtue signalling while refusing to answer if you’ve done what you’re asking of others.
Edit: and it looks like he never answered. Another person demanding things from others that will cause suffering, but you’re unwilling to do it yourself. But you’ll mock what they do as not good enough. Crazy…
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊23·2 months agoThat’s a lot of words to deflect from the fact that you’re not willing to do what you’re asking others to do. Sit back down, no one needs you telling the world how great you are while you demand from others what you won’t do yourself. When was the last time you protested for days, putting something on the line, like you’re judging others for not doing? Or have you been too busy patting yourself on the back about how you do more than any other lib.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊24·2 months agoOnly the weekends huh? So only one or two days at a time? I heard one guy say that until people start taking protest seriously nothing will change. A single day or two will do nothing to sway them. It needs to be a prolonged event that hurts them. Wait, wasn’t that you? The guy not practicing what he preaches? Looks like I nailed it.
And yes, let’s cap it all off by saying how you’re better than everyone else, and everyone else is just performative. Jesus, I’ve never seen someone hurt a cause they support so handedly through hypocrisy and ego. Impressive.
Lightor@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@lemmy.ml•INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY!28th Feb 2025 ✊33·2 months agoWith that mindset, since we can’t do anything for weeks on end, better call the whole thing off, since it can’t be done for weeks. I can say you thinking that doing it for one day is pointless is just an excuse for you to do nothing as well. You’re being extremely hypocritical.
Are you out there putting your life on the line, risking your home and children’s safety? Or are you waiting and making excuses? Yeah, I think we both know the answer. You want others to risk everything but I’m guessing you’ve not risked anything. But I could be wrong, please tell me what you’ve done to effect this change you want so badly? What have you put on the line?
