1. Vote locally

2. Run locally

If you can rally people behind a cause, go for it.

Other than that. Nothing really. Try to spend money with those that align with your values.

Unrelated, but likely more important. Donate to charity, or help the homeless in your own community.

And yet they are doing so.

Not in the way the nazis did. So perhaps drop the equivalence.

Are they walking into universities and executing teachers?

Talk about missing the point.

I’m not the one you need to convice, you fucking tool. You need “the other people” to agree with you. The fact that you live in a #problematic democracy doesn’t change that you need votes.

The parallells fall apart immediately, since that happened pre-information age. Whatever the nazis did to undermine the educated is borderline impossible to do today. Whatever is happening today is different. It’s probably worse in that no information can be trusted, in comparison to no information being available at all.

Do you keep this copy-pasta to actually try to convince people?

“right wingers” or “decent people”. Choose one, because they are mutually exclusive.

Your words. Literally. Stop labeling people.

There you go again. Nazis. This isn’t the same. Find a new angle, because whatever is going on in the US isn’t working.

You’re judging people based on some flaky righty-lefty dogma that attempts to put people in teams. Stop doing that, and think a bit more logically. People have a million different reasons for thinking a certain way about different subjects, and they might still be kind people. Of the top of my head, i remember the pair of guys who let Borat stay with them. They had the most insane ideas about politics that i’ve ever heard. But they let a random “immigrant” stay in their house, and didn’t utter a single word of complaint. So you’d think they are pretty tolerant. Much more tolerant than a lot of people who vote left that i’ve mer. Those are the kind people that you lose to the other side. Especially when you call them evil, or whatever you think they might be.

My gut feeling? You did lose the election. Are you not living in the same world I am? You have lost touch with what people want and prioritize.

Judge people on action, but don’t fucking label half your country as evil. Many of them have been spoonfed lies like religion since birth.

This attitude makes liberals lose elections.

Of course there are decent people on “the right”. What would you call them if theoretically, they voted for what you want? Would they still be terrible people, just voted correctly?

Macho culture existed long before the loneliness. It’s a different kind of macho culture now that is detrimental.

Previous generations had less destructive outlets for machismo than boys of today. Being part of a sports team meant that you had an outlet and a group that you shared common goals with.

Hahaha thats brilliant

I could give you an example. In my kitchen we have a faucet with a detachable aerator. We detach it when we want to use a attachment for a garden hose. When attaching the aerator or the garden hose attachment, the threads are reversed. I might be wrong, but two opposing threads shouldn’t be able to screw into one another right?

I don’t think we have a Swedish one. But we call clockwise “medsols” and counterclockwise “motsols”. Meaning “with the sun” or “against the sun” Does everyone have reversed threads on plumbing or is that a Nordic/Swedish thing? All plumbing has the reversed rule, left tightens and right loosens.

Went from rif to connect for Lemmy and i’m happy with it
