  • Society is Limited by Wage Slavery

  • I disagree. The exceptional ones who managed to actually find and fit into their niche are rare and far between in our current society because it doesn't offer an environment that allows them to thrive and survive. If we allowed each and every person in this country to explore and find their niche without having to worry about survival, I'd bet that density would go up DRASTICALLY.

  • I completely disagree. I think most people want to do something, but they don't have the means and opportunity to do a thing that fulfills them. I fucking HATE having a job. Coming to a place every day to do the same thing, it kills my motivation to do ANYTHING. The only reason I have one is to eat and to do the things I WANT to do. Usually pretty productive things, such as gardening, programming, repairs.

    Those are all productive things. Things I COULD earn money for, but then they become work. I have to do them to survive, and so I no longer find the joy in doing them. If I could do them and not have to worry about bills being paid, I would by all accounts be a more productive member of society.

    I don't think people are all that fundamentally different. We have some differences in preference, but when you get down to the basics the majority of people are pretty similar. Some will fall through the cracks or abuse the system, but by and large no one WANTS to be useless. That's a learned trait.

  • Ain't no body on a high horse around here. I'm acknowledging that it's going to be a struggle. I'm also acknowledging that eventually the struggle will become a necessity, unless you're one of the few tenths of a percent of the population that's actually benefitting from this madness. Things are going to get worse regardless of if we struggle and fight or not, I'm just hoping for a "better" on the other side of that worse, and it won't happen until we're all in on the struggle.

    And that's where the different kinds of protests come in. The single mother of 3 just trying to keep their kids fed? Sure they probably need to keep doing whatever they can to keep fresh food coming. But in the meantime, build a community. Know your neighbors. We are in this together. We fight together, we survive together, we die together. That single mother's of 3's struggles are not exclusively their own, they need the support of the people around them who can help. This shit is beyond individual family units and individual struggles at this point.

    No one is equipped to do this alone. I don't mean overthrow the current status quo, I mean live. We're not designed to try to make all of our ends meet, especially not with the quality of life we've come to expect. We've gone from trusting our local community to supply and provide for us, people we know and are invested in ourselves, to putting all of that on the government and our employer, both of whom have no real motivation to help you any further than you are useful to them.

    So what can a single mother of 3 do in lieu of a general strike? Build something. Build community. Build a garden. Provide shelter for those in your community who may need it. Find people you want to help because they want to help you. They're out there, outside of the internal issues. It's work, yes. It'll make the day to day a bit harder but... It's getting harder anyway.

  • General strike and protest cover different things, both effective means of displaying our outrage. A general strike is a form of protest.

    As far as 'materializing out of nothing' I don't expect that either. This is far from out of nothing, though. These sentiments have been boiling over since 2016, literally a decade. We need more voices saying "let's do it now" and fewer saying "but I have other responsibilities". It's rapidly approaching the point where every possible responsibility one could have runs through this issue.

  • More and more our responsibilities are shifting from the personal towards a responsibility to the whole. Resistance in any form is going to mean hardship, hardship I'd much rather deal with than the country we're heading towards. It will NEVER be easy. It will NEVER be a good time.

  • That's always going to be the case. How many strikes, protests, etc have we had? There's never going to be a good time, because you can't hardly get 3 people on the same page about stuff, let alone 3 million. People are going to die no matter the path we choose to walk. Choosing non-violent resistance is the noble path, but it's got its own risks. At least those risks come with the potential of a better future.

  • Sure it's difficult for someone trying to support their family. It's also difficult for someone trying to support their family to have the sole breadwinner captured, deported, or killed. Inconvenience doesn't justify inaction. And, for those who have, in addition to just striking, they need to be helping their neighbors. This whole thing isn't going anywhere unless we work together and stop thinking of each person as an individual unit.

  • We need to shut down and STAY shut down. Jan 30 needs to be the first day of an indefinite movement.

  • TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countries

  • Sleet is basically crunchy snow. Very slightly larger, a bit harder, not really a danger to much of anything it falls on. You don't get golf ball sized sleet, you get like, half-a-pea-sized sleet.

  • Hail is precip that has been able to repeatedly rise and fall on air currents, building up in size. What they're referring to as sleet is essentially just crunchy snow in size and texture.

  • It's probably not just a soft poo, it probably is actually diarrhea, but you're also probably right about the why. People in America basically don't eat fiber. Get a couple of items with beans and lettuce on them, congratulations you just had more fiber than your entire family's even LOOKED AT in the last 6 months. It's gotta go somewhere, and if you don't have the microbiome to handle it....
