Trump got rid of veteran benefits and cut food boxes for seniors.

Sure, everyone hates oligarchs. But oligarchs are up there and out of reach, and they are strong enough to retaliate. Instead, you also got these minorities, they're right here in the punching distance and they even may not hit you back.

This is it, this is how the billionaires make Joes fight other Joes and not the rich. This is why we have the cultural war and not the class war.

A united public could easily oust the oligarchs and put them where they belong (the guillotines). But that requires large-scale public co-operation and putting aside differences, something the American public is wholly incapable of. I don't think it would be that hard if that was required in Europe.
- We do have oligarchs in Europe, they're just not celebrities like their American counterparts. And very few of them are the actual billionaires.
  That being said, they seem to keep low profile, maybe they really did learn the hard lesson from the European history.
- Even in Europe when things would get bad enough for the people to put aside their differences and kill the ruling class, the differences tend to re-assert themselves once the common enemy is gone. That's where things go south. Cutting heads off is like eating potato chips. You can't just stop once you've started. Eventually you're pulling crumbs out of the bottom of the bag.
  If it gets bad enough for the American people to unite to kill the oppressors, the oppressors will definitely have a bad time, but you better be ready for one hell of a rough ride after.
- We’re not incapable, it’s just been thoroughly trained out of us. My dog doesn’t bite but he still has teeth.
A real general strike could work
- *would definitely
  There, much better :)
Thank you, comrade. Brillantly put.
Ok, say we have a class war now, are you willing to fight alongside working class racists, transphobes, homophobes, misogynists, etc?
- Who do you think taught these people these values?

This supports my hypothesis that people are mostly emotional. They're angry and scared so they lash out. They're not thinking in a calm detached manner.

Somehow we need to direct all the negative emotions towards the people who actually deserve it

It's mainly an issue in the US. And Americans are not taught how to handle emotions or think critically.
- What is exactly an American issue? Because all the issues here are not exclusive to the US, they're pervasive all over Europe, and as far as I know (second hand), the rest of the world as well.
France used to use pitchforks and guillotine for that.
In fact, not people actually deserve it. We live in a perverted system that needs inequality. We need to direct our power against said system.
It has been done successfully countless times in history. Just start reading non capitalist sources and be prepared to cry a lot.
If we all do it, there will be no capitalist states left to destroy better solutions.

Oh, it's a different Dana White

Oooh ok, I was surprised and confused for a second.

Is Dana white fuckin dudes now?

Well he laid out pretty clearly why we shouldn't care

Fuck away my man! Well said. Well not man, just..you know what I mean. Everyone should enjoy life in this country so long as it doesn't bother others. That's the whole thing expressed in "the pursuit of happiness". That's why we're all here, just trying to be as happy as we can be.

They're cucks. They want daddy dump to bend them over

Very triggering posts to the Americans, indeed. If anyone is so close to death that they seek wisdom of that of an Angel, do feel free to message me.

Politicians (on all sides) tell us to worry about pronouns and bathrooms so that we are too distracted to question where our taxes are going

One side wants to dehumanize and jail/deport all non-cisgender people, the other side wants them to stop, and you think both sides are the problem because they aren't focused on taxes enough?
All sides?
that "on all sides" claim is wild

I get his point and I agree with it, but I think it's worth pointing out that people can and often do care about multiple things at once

This can be turned around. The planet is burning and you want to fuck around and argue pronouns.

How should unity be created? By tolerating everything or by surpressing everything in public?

Both are possible. How should the choice be made which one to use?

Nobody wants to argue about fucking pronouns except the people insisting on making it into a fucking issue. Nobody wants to argue it's okay to fuck who they want except the fuckheads saying you can't fuck who you want because I disagree.
This is a beyond garbage take.
- Preach!
  The amount of news over:
  two Democrats getting assassinated by a maga pastor
  VS
  A trans teenager won a sports award in a city competition.
- except the people insisting on making it into a fucking issue
  Which are enough that society is split and there is no unity to prevent the planet from burning.
  It's one way to call them stupid and wait until they change their mind. I think it's better to recognize that they insist on their way with the same determination. So instead of waiting forever, we should find a way to overcome the split.
How should the choice be made which one to use?
Use tolerance as a social contract instead of a default "everyone is tolerated" type. If you don't tolerate someone else in society then you are no longer tolerated. Seems simple to me.
Now you might say, but the people that want to be called a certain pronoun aren't tolerating the hatred of another group that wants to address them "however they see fit". Well that 2nd group isn't tolerating the first group. The first group was just living and the second group started the intolerance. Also, if you use hatred to justify why you should be tolerated then you lost the fight.
Hope that clears it up for you.
- If you don’t tolerate someone else in society then you are no longer tolerated.
  You can only do that if you control society. If you don't then intolerance towards nonnormative behavior becomes also a possible strategy.
Intolerance is not to be tolerated.
This is a shitty take
There's tiger that want to eat you and you want to negotiate a peace treaty with the tiger. 🤣
- You ignore your own power. It's two tigers who have to cooperate to escape a burning cage.
