"People like" me? Care to clarify? There won't be a "power shift." There will be no uprising. There will be no revolution.

Maybe you can enlighten me on what will happen to people like me. I'd love to make some more FBI reports. Go on, let's find out.

Exactly. :)

think the best we can do given the circumstances is to be careful about how we consume as that can promote apathy and further doomscrolling

Agreed. So many on Lemmy and Reddit just doomscroll all day, all night. Never looking up to see the people around them who are smiling, going on with their lives, enjoying good conversation, hugging, kissing, laughing, etc.

The world isn't perfect. I get that. Especially depending on what country you are in.

But here in the US we have it sooooo good, it is actually rude to complain about how tough things are here, because so many other people have is way worse and actually have real problems.

Here people complain about making 80K a year on their very first jobs from college, and that their mom watches Fox News too much and/or their "all" Lemmy section has more than one post by Universal Monk. Big. Fucking. Deal. lol

When I mean "You" and "You all" I meant Lemmy in general. Not you personally. I don't now you, have never met you, and I don't even know your name. As obviously noted in my 2nd sentence when I said "You all."

To qualify as slander, the statement must be spoken to others, be knowingly false, and result in harm to the person’s direct reputation. So anonymous usernames on a forum like Lemmy don't qualify. Also, since the use of "you all" and "you" refers broadly to the public on a website, it doesn't even come close to targeting any individual's reputation directly.

So yeah, let's try that suing thing.

When do ya wanna file? Let me know so I can contact my lawyers. Then we can bring to light, publically, the entire Lemmy website, all the comments on it, people who defend Luigi, etc.

So yaaaassss queeeen, let's do that.

So when do ya wanna file?

We got a timeline?

I'm not a Trumper. I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted socialist party, friend.

And yep, I live here in America. Not fantasy at all. I described what was happening outside in my view just as I was writing it.

I know you won't see this because you blocked me, but just in case I am getting in before you block, I wanted to say you made a great post! I upvoted ya.

It's strange to me that you would block me because I think Luigi is a scumbag, but that's totally your right. And I still think he's a scumbag. I also feel that history will prove me right; he is not the hero you all think he is.

But the rest of your post had really great points!

I don't give a fuck. You all joking about killing the president is fucking bullshit. So I'll continue to report. The fact that you call it "tattle" shows how fucking cringe you extremists are.

You sure you are gonna be able to pull yourself away from Pokemon Go long enough to start a revolution, brah? lmao

Organizing for what though? What are you protesting?

Thanks! The sub is pretty bare because I just can't find much on Libertarian Socialism. But I have it there so when I do occasionally run across something, I throw it in there. :)

But yeah, I am freakin' loving the DOGE stuff. It's hilarious how may Lemmy people are just hating on it because of Musk and Trump. If Bernie or AOC would have started this thing, Lemmy would have stars in their eyes. Because sooo much money is being wasted by the government.

Well actually...

I'm a Libertarian Socialist. So trust me, I'm all about a lot of Libertarian values. I even created a sub called Libertarian Socialism. !libertariansocialism@sh.itjust.works

But since most people don't know about Libertarian stuff, I just shorthand it and go with Socialist when describing myself.

I actually grew up in the town that started the Libertarian Party here in the US.

But friend, the last US Libertarian Party candidate SUCKED! He had zero charisma.

The US Libertarian Party has a lot of great goals, but they need to work on getting better candidates.

I am socialist.

I don't write the articles, friend. You don't have to read them. Posting something I find interesting doesn't mean I subscribe to all the points of view in an article.

If you find there is something troubling in the article, please reach out to the people who write it.

I guess a block is overdue

Sounds like it is. You should definitely block me. Because I'm not gonna stop posting. I'll post whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.

Thanks, friend! :)

Exactly. Most of the people in this thread actually seem to prefer to be depressed and doomscroll.

But life is actually pretty fucking great.

but being Luigi

You mean being a privileged, loser murdering scumbag who is gonna spend the rest of his life in prison? Because that is what he is.

There are many people being careful of what they say on public forums. Don’t let that make you think there are not people ready and willing

Good. Because I report comments hinting at or advocating violence, directly to the FBI. https://tips.fbi.gov/home

Many people seem to speak more freely over on Rednote

Oh, good to know! I'll start up an account over there, start taking screenshots and reporting what I see there too.

Thanks, friend!

This kind of “activist” is best termed a “slacktivist”.

And they make up the majority of Lemmy! lmao

Well said!

Nah, not only am I not "losing my will to fight," I'm having a great time. I don't take anything online seriously.

Lemmy is NOT real life. It's an echo-chamber full of people removed and moaning about the world ending who just love to doomscroll, and then brag about what meds they are taking to cope. It's fucking weird.

Meanwhile in real life in my neighborhood here in the US, people are visiting parks, flying kites with kids, taking walks with their dogs. I see kids riding their bikes to get ice cream. I hear kids on the playground nearby playing tag and laughing. Guy across the street is shooting the shit with his friends and having a beer. They invited me over for a bbq.

But according to Lemmy we're all doomed and about to be marched into deathcamps.

Not gonna happen.

World's not gonna end Lemmy. I promise.

And what would that narrative be?

Because I can't control, nor do I care to control, the narrative that someone feels when they read a news article.

I didn't write the article. A MUCH bigger and more popular website than Lemmy published it.

Heck, I didn't even post the contents of the article. Just the title and the link.

What people think is on them, not up to me.

Thanks, friend!

Down votes are frankly unproductive. They might also encourage bad behavior, because if your goal is to stir the pot then down votes are a great indicator that it’s working.

Yep!!! :)

Great fucking post, friend. You brought up a lot of points that I never thought of.

Good on ya, mate.
