In the original comment they described having to drive hours to get to a protest. Does that sound like high effort to you.

Low effort is being able to sit at a desk compared to driving 3 hrs.

High effort is trying to rally millions into the street to face off against authority that has already solved protesting

It hasn’t worked in half a century. Protest had a greater effect before the global village. But now we have a better understanding of numbers making a show of force almost useless. We have shown up 700,000,000 for causes with practically no effect. It is a new world and it’s time to let go. We need to adapt yet there is an old guard holding us all back. It’s about spreading a message, it’s about beliefs and ideas and network and power. None of that can be achieved with protests. I would bet good money that behind many of these modern protests is actually the opposition. It is such a waste of time and effort and there is no argument in recent times that can show other wise.

You’re whole argument is detailing the internet when you actually read between the lines.

We should be choosing lower effort and maximizing for effect. Protests are high effort low effect. Online culture jamming is low effort, high effect. It is logic to anyone who thinks about this honestly

Don’t need to. You’re here and accepting of what this is. They tells me enough. You accepted the most corporate controlling tools of bigger social media sites and distilled them down to this site which was suppose to be a way to fight back and instead you just recreated the bullshit so it is ready for corporate take over

Fuck off with protests. Holy fuck. They don’t do jack shit except give the opportunity for the organizers to fill their CV and collect them like those marathon running stickers on the back of a Volvo.

Fuck

This entire time the strategy was and only ever was to protest online. You protest by building networks and creating memes and identifying when people are paying millions to convince people on the left to go commit to the most high energy low retard efforts like it described where all of us have to drive 3 hrs just to get arrested and beat up.

The internet has literally been here the whole time. Turns the fuck out that the goal is protesting is actually what is done online every single fucking day. Go figure. Meanwhile we all left social media and chose the smallest corner of the internet to exist in crying about how bad everything is. Fucking hate it here. The left fucking suck.

It’s going to get worse. Right wing governments are taking over.

They’re going to use that to grow lemmy.

You don’t need to my dude. Votes were to remove the need for mods which instead you people embraced and now use for some imaginary system of digital capital?? Like when a kid an old school cash register that is so old it no longer has an value. You guys just smash those buttons like it’s modern activism and call it a day. You don’t need to my dude.

You’d need to get the attention of MAGA on this if you wanted people to do stuff IRL

They’d drive a convoy around his block blasting Metallica for a week after coordinating with their friends in the police and bringing donuts to local tow companies. Maybe if you’re lucky someone on the left will flyer a coffee shop in Chicago.

Votes online don’t matter 😆

When are you guys going to understand that.

And run away like you from everything?

Its more about how you as leftist have given up all your power to the point that successful people dunk on you without worry about consequences and all you have to show for it is being miserable. It’s not like you’re the leftist of decades ago innovating anything. There’s no counter culture that wasn’t something that you stole from the 70s. I’m going to enjoy some steak, drive my truck and fill up at bucees while grabbing some good food. You can drive around being miserable until you realize the same thing. Being a leftist today is being a miser all day. You give up power. You fail at organizing and it’s to the point that a stores who sell to the public feel its fine to literally say, yea fuck their whole state because what are they going to do. But hate me instead of asking yourselves why you don’t have power

You’re an idiot because you hate bucees

This isn’t a leftist forum. It’s just brainwashed Chinese propaganda mixed in with people who hated everything about reddit except for the moderation.

Love buc-ees I’m not even going to lie about it.

I’m getting old and I’m getting tired of pretending like eating gruel all day on the left is how things are suppose to be. When I visit america and I stop at a buc-ees everyone digs it. Hate to see this from their company but I also hate to see the left deny how great convenience is. When I was younger I didn’t get why people turn to the right as they get older. I thought maybe it was they get money or senile or something. As I get older I think it’s the slow realization that people on the left are truly full of shit. Being on the left is constantly being fed a shit sandwich and being told it’s for your own good. And I get the irony here about shit sandwiches and buc-ees. God fucking me if that shitty roast beef slop isn’t delicious after 16 hrs of driving.

You all hate these companies then fucking do something. Don’t just try to create yet another moral barrier and culture point where you have to or not to be a good leftie. I hadn’t eating chick fil a in ever. Yesterday I went and god damn was it good. But i"m just tired of living this life where every option in life is against moral or ethics and it’s is piling up while nothing on the left happens. Nobody is starting business or actually doing anything beyond standing in streets. Go out and culture jam them. Steal their logo. Put it on everything in a world where advertising is a billion dollar business be the anti marketing to their billion dollar business. But just stop finding things to force the rest of us to eat this leftist moral slop. Just be honest.

I have a folder of these I’m finding around other places. There’s a new thing I’m seeing where groups are being created in Asia. They use AI heavily to create these propaganda pieces using cartoons from western culture with messages like this over and over again.

Anyone know why?

It is absolutely not futile. It is the one area that you can truly make an improvement in things. You have only decided that its futile because you cannot be bothered which goes to my point and my anger with people like you. I think the left are being way to easy on people like you. You’re part of the problem.

I mean your logic is just so insane to me. Bots cost money. Why the fuck would anyone be spending money on bots. It’s because there’s a reason for it. What they need is for you to run away so their bot costs are lower if that’s what you believe. You give them 2 options, realize using bots doesn’t work against an aggressive left or you drive their costs up with each comment

We need to get better at driving people to these comments and just fucking trolling the ever living fuck out of them until their voice is drowned

But we’re in a digital world. Using paper in a digital age is like bringing a horse to Nascar. The left is hung up on this romanticized vision of coffee shop activism. It’s destroying us. Those solutions worked for the time they existed in. If don’t adapt we’re finished
