Fuck your stocks. How many trans friends have you lost and did you even really care until it started affecting the economy. Fuck your stocks.
One, because he became a militant asshole who started not respecting boundaries.
My guy I agree with you that trans lives matter more than money, but this is not how to convince people to join our side. Like absolutely this countries priorities are absolutely fucked, but opening with "fuck your money" is only gonna get assholes to dig in their heels
I won't police my thoughts, opinions and language to appease liberals and centrists and I won't trust anyone who thinks that our struggle rests on that kind of approach. Unless they gutterally get it they are not my ally.
Ok but how many people in the whole US agree with you enough that you'd call them an ally? 2% .2%? Your plan is to enact change with 99.8% of everyone on the other side of you? The movement requires liberals and centrists to change their minds.
You know, it's possible to feel emotions about two different things at the same time.
You can feel bad about the economy if you want, and also bad about how the government treats people. You don't have to choose one or the other.
Try it!
God Lemmy is a shit hole now
I'm glad you're losing money, it brings me joy to see the middle class finally freaking out, even if it's for reasons that are utterly selfish and blind to the real struggles minorities have been facing for decades. Maybe if you buy gold instead?
Wow. So you actually just hate anyone who has any money at all. You don't actually care about the issues. You're just bitter that they have more. Even when they care about your issues, you still hate them because they had the gall to complain when their retirement gets pushed back a decade.
You should look at your actual views. Pulling everyone to that level is the goal. Not bringing everything down.
The middle class are not your oppressors, and never have been.
Do you know any international politics or national policy? As in what the country, in hand with the complicity of the middle class, has done to both it's own citizens and the rest of the world? For the entirety of its 300 year history?
No?
Time to start learning perhaps. The people who do know are the people who will help you in crisis.
There's less than nothing in it for me to change your mind about anything. You're on Lemmy and you've had a great deal of opportunity to do so on your own time.
lets not forget their treatment of global south countries and its people.
trump is just turning the oppression we suffered for a century at this point inwards.
id rather see usians liberating themselves (and us, by extension), but fascism was the obvious outcome of such shortsightedness.
The middle class aren't the problem. Lol. Shouldn't you be on hexbear?
technically not, but they were the ones who could have done something about it the best.
they came for the communists, then for the third world, then for trans people, then for the immigrants. and now they are coming for you.
You have a point there
Ya cuz of people like you
mirror!!!!4!4
Even if you don’t own stocks, your paycheck is now worth 15-30% less due to tariffs.
None of my trans friends have been lost.
I mean, good. The country voted in a fascist on a policy of trans genocide and it takes a tanking economy for any kind of mass protests to take place. The government was killing my friends long before Trump was elected but that didn't effect your safe little bubble. If the violence has to be explicit, then so be it.
Oh geez dude, so sorry my trans friends didn’t get killed to justify your rant.
I'm sorry you think you're living trans friends lend to whatever argument you're trying to make. According to the government they even exist anymore. The Republicans have been calling for blood openly for many years. It's going to get a lot worse than a downturn in the economy and it's not going to get bettter if people don't start to see the bigger picture.
