I really just think that you’ve got me all wrong. I am never going to stop telling people that what they are doing is not enough. That is not me being a loudmouth asshole. The loudmouth asshole is telling me to shut up, and then when I ask when I’m allowed to speak… You show up?
My opinion is that you were telling me to shut up. Telling me to stop encouraging people to do more than standing on the street with signs. This is my opinion of what you’re telling me.
I just don’t think that you like the words I’m using. I think that you think my words are that of an asshole but my words are not intentionally trying to be asshole-ish. It’s just trying to get people to realize that it’s great they showed up to a protest… But that is like 1% of what they need to do to stop fascism
Pennsylvania. Red state. thinking about it I’m not happy that you live in a red state. While I’m not pleased with you at this moment I don’t wish harm on you. I just think you’re a dick.
Side topic: Humorously, I just found out after we had started all this nonsense that my spouse got laid off from their hospital job. I have been trying to convince them that it was about time to get the fuck out of dodge but they were “making way too much to consider it.” I’m sure you can understand how that might make me frustrated, given our conversation… So I’m excited to announce to you that they have finally come around to the idea of leaving the country. Given their laundry list of degrees and years of experience we are absolute guaranteed quick passage to any country we choose. So, I might not actually be interested in the United States politics in about six months or so. Which is good, because I have June on my bingo list for martial law. You may not have to deal with me for much longer after all
No, I think I got you figured exactly right. You’re a whiney loudmouthed asshole who wants to complain.
You weren’t offering any solutions, you weren’t encouraging people to do more, you were just bitching that what they are doing isn’t enough without any advice on what they can be doing better.
Now I’ve managed to tease some of that out of you over the course of this conversation, but it sure as hell wasn’t what you were doing when I started, and I doubt that you would have ever bothered to elaborate on your own. You’d just be another nuisance around Lemmy making everyone’s day a little bit worse. Hopefully you’ll keep that up in the future instead of just spouting sarcastic whining like
Forgot all about how that happened and then nothing happened… again
And
Not in the United States of Obedience.
Complaining about a problem is only useful if you’re following it up with at least an attempt to find solutions if not offering them up yourself. Otherwise you’re just a whiney, loudmouthed asshole.
