    It’s absolutely wild how you cowards keep spouting the same tired excuses as if they haven’t been addressed literally every time they’re brought up. Fine, don’t fight. Enjoy MAGA. You’ll get whatever you deserve.

      Coward? Fuck off, keyboard warrior. You don’t have the first clue what you’re talking about. Where do you even live? What do you even do besides playing the tough guy on the Internet?

      Edit: This you?

      I left in 2004 because of how bad things were getting- a decision that has been continually justified every day since.

      Real cowards run away.

          Oh, look. Another idiot here to shit talk because he hasn’t thought about what it is he expects us to do. Got a suggestion, or are you just here to play tough guy behind the anonymity of the Internet?

            Oh look, another American that wants to spend their time coming up with excuses for doing nothing rather than actually doing anything.

            I’d rather someone fucking leave then just keeping their head down and doing nothing like this is normal.

                Sure, but you’re not calling someone a coward for leaving. I’m saying somebody leaving is at least something, and something is better than nothing.

                    I didn’t call anyone a coward either. I just said they weren’t doing anything heroic by doing nothing while they mock others for leaving.

                The same fucking playbook every time:

                1. can’t somebody else do it? (“Why don’t you come here and do something?”)

                2. we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas (“what’s your suggestion” instead of trying to come up with an idea on your own)

                3. endless excuses to not even try any suggestion provided.

                No surprise.

                  can’t somebody else do it?

                  Do what?

                  we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas

                  I asked what you expected me to do. You’ve suggested nothing.

                  endless excuses to not even try any suggestion provided

                  No suggestions have been provided

                  No surprise.

                  Repeating after me doesn’t equal a point.

                  I’m starting to think that you haven’t thought about it at all.

                    No suggestions have been provided

                    That’s because pointing out the hollowness of you asking for suggestions is more effective if I point out the playbook before you give all your excuses. Here are some simple suggestions for you:

                    1. Move. The thing you insulted another poster for.

                    The excuse: moving is expensive.

                    So is dying. They’re literally saying they want to kill you. Every refugee ever has managed it with fewer resources and more obstacles than you have.

                    1. Protest. Like actually protest. Not this “one Saturday every 6 months we go to our designated out of the way protest space so as to not cause too much trouble, then clean up after ourselves and get back to work on Monday.” Actual portests are disruptive.

                    The excuse: AmErIcA iS tOo bIg

                    BLM managed it after the death of one person. How many people have ICE murdered without consequence?

                    1. Get involved in politics. Find a politician that opposes this shit and join their team. If no such politician exists become the politician and build a team.

                    The excuse: that’s hard

                    Oh, you wanted suggestions that wouldn’t require any effort?

                    Now go ahead with your excuses and prove that giving you these suggestions was a waste of time.

        Not a citizen, not my country. Lived there 8 years. Not sure why I’m explaining this to overly-defensive American MAGA-lite garbage, though.

            Imagine if all Lemmy shitlibs could actually turn some of this impotent rage against, you know, the Nazis, instead of the people pointing out that they’re doing fuck all about the Nazis

              If their rage is impotent, the Nazi’s with the the money, political power, and monopoly on violence would turn them into paste, no?

              Do you think “shitlibs” would win a fight with them? Or do you just want the Nazi’s to have an excuse to kill all of them because you hate them as much as the Nazis? Because it often just kind of feels like the latter with this kind of discussion.

              No one owes the world to give up their life, no one chose to be here. One especially does not owe their life to people who explicitly did not even try to prevent the mess we’re in in the first place: the average US voting eligible person.

              Why should anyone lift a fucking finger to help my fellow Americans by risking their life if they’re on average a bunch of selfish negligently-ignorant-at-best dipshits that let Trump win? Fuck 'em.

              Imagine if ignorant foreigners could pull their heads out of their asses long enough to consider what it is they’re demanding.
