Victim blaming who? The UK taught America how to exploit and also did the same. Heck they even did it better in terrifying way.

Other countries just now thought of adjusting their GDP to account for not relying on the American Military.

Can you explain to me how that is not oversight? How that is not irresponsible?

Im Mexican American so I understand how the fucking border flew over my people.

But there isn’t a black and white villian here. Plenty of powerful people in multiple countries help create the reality and dynamics of the countries.

American principles? There hasn’t been a united states of America to have unified principles since our inception. It was just loud propaganda to tell us so.

I don’t even think we should be this big. You know how many countries are unified in ideals because they are monoculture, monotheist, monoracial? Were not it.

But its also what makes us beautiful. Being a melting pot not often seen in a majority of countries.

I think that means you do not like American government and foreign policy.

Not the American people.

I think that’s the line that becomes vague when you say “anti-American”.

Americans in history have been trying to fight the evil machine and have been assassinated or villianized.

• JFK
• MLK
• Edward Snowden

I’ll also say that other countries are not without blame. There is no reason why other countries should have trusted another country to protect them.

Every country should have invested a healthy amount into their armies and never let one country get so powerful.

Or exploit their populace for pennies. (INDIA/MEXICO COUGH)

Imperialism is the devil on this planet but were all responsible for not fighting back against the machine or uniting the world working class.

We have the technology now with things like the fediverse. The doors are open for now for open communication and coordination.

Anti-American is fucking weird.

How about get to the root that most of us here have in common? Even half of the Americans agree with the below principles.

Anti-consumerism for the sake of consuming. Anti-greed. Anti harming others for your own selfish gains. Anti-billionaires. Anti-waste and harming the planet.

Is making a vlan important for your torrenting* device or is vpn enough?

Im planning to setup such a device and wanted people’s opinions more experienced than me.

It could have been as simple as “its okay to express yourself however you want or be whatever you want. You should feel safe to do so and we all have your back.”

People transitioning to either gender expression has always been a thing. Changing a language seems unnecessary. However, I think respect is just the core message here. Respect all if they do no harm.

Im sorry but as someone with mental illness or sensitivities myself I dont expect the world around me to bend for them.

Gender dysmorphia is similar no? Feeling deeply something internal that changes that affects a minority of the populace.

Just like my history with my mental illness affects a small populace. Why should the world have to bend to my problems?

And acceptance and integration in society has always been there, especially with the left and especially since before pronouns.

I would never expect the intolerable, ignorant, racist, or cruel people to bend their beliefs for me. Its a waste of my energy to want that.

All I can do is surround myself with people who respect me and create my own little tribe in this sometimes cruel world.

Im left leaning on many social issues but pronouns was never a necessary social construct hill we needed to die on.

I think that useless fight got us the full hard swing to the right.

Especially because you shouldn’t give a fuck about how people perceive you. You should be whoever you are and not care about labels.

Take a portal to a black hole, keep the portal open for funsies.

Linux mint cinnamon. I tested sims4 a few months ago. Ran fine. And surprisingly I didnt need to repurchase from steam, somehow I linked my ea account.

Sometimes games crash but not often for me. That’s when I tweak the Proton version.

Feeling confident without makeup.

Realizing that the pillars of success written by governments or institutions is bullshit and caring more about good people.

Feeling comfortable with a small social bubble. Quality over quantity.

Valuing naps over parties. 😴

Im really excited to see mainstream games patching for Linux. :)

Yeah that’s a great point. Soon as I saw the companies at the Inauguration I deleted social media platforms owned by them and switched to DuckDuckGo/Firefox. Ive been on Linux Mint for some time.

Protesting with our wallets and going against the whole consumerism culture of these oligarchs is definitely the way to go. :)

I honestly don’t think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.
