  • ah. feel free to swap in “lots of” instead of “full of” then.

    sounds like a regional misunderstanding which you unintentionally misconstrued.

    people are not liquids in containers. something like “the government is full of corruption” doesn’t mean “more than fifty percent of government workers are corrupt” it just means “lots of corrupt people in government, can’t ignore that” and i would be more than willing to swap the verbage

    glad to clear this up as i genuinely didn’t expect that that would be misunderstood

  • You are maybe being sardonic but you’re touching on a real poignant issue that’s worth investigating.

    Notice how the NRA conveniently backs the oligarchic state? The average NRA member owns something like 17 guns. That is, they can afford 17 guns. NRA members are wealthy.

    This is not an accident. Poverty has been weaponized to keep the majority-white, upper to middle class the ones that are armed, while the working class, the people of color, queer people, women, migrants, tend to be less armed and less able to organize.

    Of course these are all trends, or tendencies, not hard and fast rules (plenty of Black or Queer Texans own guns), but on the whole, and especially in combination with a militarized, capital serving, police force it had a real dampening effect on ability to resist oppression.

  • There’s like a ton of comments in this thread already from people who say “I am a good person on your side being oppressed in this area” but go on tell them they’re wrong about existing lol

  • There ya go. I fully agree with you here. 👍 Sending love to you as “one of the good ones.” (Sorry that sounds mean but I don’t know how to put it XD)

    [Again apologies if my initial comment came off as abrasive. My entire post is a reaction to some crowds cheering on the recent tragedy in Texas and it’s clear now you are not anywhere near a part of that crowd and I misread the situation.]

  • Sending love ❤️ I truly hate to see would be-“progressives” laughing at the senseless deaths and violence just because some 30% of them voted a certain way.

    It’s one of the ways that capital keeps the culture war lit, I find. Breed hatred and dehumanization for a people group while gleefully stripping that people group from self-determination at every opportunity.

  • most of southerners are “good people”

    Strawman, reread the entire post bud. Looks like they just misunderstood.

    “The south is full of good people” (verbatim quote from my post, objectively true, yes from my own experience and yes minorities) DOES NOT mean “most of southerners are good people” (verbatim YOUR bad-faith interpretation of my post).

    Feel free to try again but as a principle I don’t defend positions I never said in my life.

  • 60 years isn’t even close to life expectancy. so we are talking less than a lifetime ago. MLK’s daughter is alive, 62 years old (younger than most people in government) and posting on instagram about the same struggles her father fought.

    plus did you even read the part about ongoing class disenfranchisement in 2025 (poor people being kept from voting)?

    not even reading the rest of your comment since you couldn’t do the same for me. thanks for being such a genuine participant in this conversation.

  • i would love so hard some legislation that requires voting ids on contingency that independent local sources find that access to ids are hugely increased

    which means it will never happen but hey a girl can dream

  • the voting rights act was only in 1965. in a significant number of cases, no they did not

    the 19th amendment was in 1920. in a significant number of cases, no they could not

    it is demonstrably harder to vote if you are poor and harder to vote informedly if you are poor and uneducated all the way through 2025. no they did not vote for this.

  • technically the electoral college and gerrymandering are not the same thing, but yeah i would honestly totally agree that the EC belongs in the list of oppressive forces in the meme (i stole the post otherwise i would edit it lol)

  • There are rights organizations that work across state borders for these causes. Not trying to shame, just putting out there that there are outlets for your talents, time, money, or even just verbal support.

  • no one claimed gerrymandering affects presidential elections, not directly certainly. but local regressive policies and disenfranchisement also hurt oppressed people daily; that’s why all three are up there.

    (one could make some pretty valid connections between local elections and lobbying money going towards national campaigns, so we can discuss that if you want but just to keep it accessible and evidence based for now)
