Ah okay, we have different priorities that I didn't initially consider, my bad. I personally no longer think it's worth bothering trying to manage the right's views. However, I do organizing in youth (~18-24) spaces and see a lot of people saying what boils down to "I want to organize, but keep to myself because what if I say something wrong and get canceled?" and it frustrates me since they regularly quote the phrase "tone policing" as they say it. It's probably like a sleeper activation phrase to me at this point and I got annoyed.

There needs to be a diversity of tactics, so even though I won't do it, I hope you and yours can successfully stop more people from falling into this trap.

All 3 are based off denying people bodily and relationship autonomy, so really you repeat yourself here

Offering a different viewpoint here: a LOT of people have been directly harmed by religious institutions, which is why there's such a viciously negative reaction at times.

"Reddit Athiest"-type Sky Daddy isn't real, cultist freak stuff isn't helpful, obviously, but a lot of it is knee-jerk hate responses to the concept of spirituality because they or someone they know was genuinely harmed by a church or a religious person at some point, and when this happens it frequently goes unaddressed. I would suggest blocking instead of engaging if it really offends you, as this kind of person usually isn't evil, and getting into arguments won't change any minds.

A single Lemmy user does not represent a massive movement involving millions of people and you know it.

You don't want to have proof, you want to slander People Who Do Things by saying that random internet users are the reason for American Fascism, instead of acknowledging that: a) most Palestinian activists voted for Harris (you can see statistics on this, instead of the anecdotes you claim as "proof") b) like most campaigns, the Harris campaign lost (to an idiot fascist, no less!) because it failed to convince the majority of voters (who aren't activists at all, but politically apathetic) to vote for it.

You do not care, though, you want to scapegoat and blame anyone except for your favorite genocidal politicians and fascists for the current state of the US, despite the fact this has been building for decades. You are someone who would've comfortably ignored most problems under Harris, and are more offended that you might be personally affected by oppression this time, instead of reading about it on the news and shrugging. This is fine; what is not fine is blaming people who decried such oppression then and now, who are far more serious about handling fascism than you, someone who thinks resistance is when you cry about losing useless neoliberal #1000 (nowhere to be seen right now, BTW) on the internet instead of Doing Things.

You claim to care about "echoing MAGA bullshit" but echo their lack of giving a shit for people who are suffering under Your Team. To say there are Palestine supporters who have bad ideas is like saying there are liberals who have bad ideas! Wow, some people in these massive movements are dumb!? My goodness, clearly they are all responsible for Trump! Time to not reflect on the systems I support whatsoever!

This is a good idea. Maybe as small strips to sew onto clothes as well? Most of these camera systems target the face, body size and shape, and gait.

Yeah I fully agree with this, I just got heated because the other guy seemed to imply that anarchism was inherently doomed because humanity is naturally violent or whatever, it's a horribly nihilistic worldview.

I'm not an anarchist, something that was obvious from how I spoke about them like an outsider, but this is such a disingenuous comment I'm gonna ignore that bit.

You do not care about reality – this is made obvious from your belief that property laws are some sort of sane and natural order, instead of being hackneyed together by generations of rich landowners with their own short-sighted, trite, and nonsensical goals. The violence committed by these freaks for more oil or sharecropping land or some other garbage is actually the opposite of normal humanity, unless you live somewhere where your neighbors shoot each other because they were bored and wanted a second house.

You see, within civilization, humans generally share spaces. There are no borders in the household or passport stations in the farmers' market. Anarchism is the belief that this can be expanded all the way to the international level; the comparatively simpler idea expressed by this celebrity is that there shouldn't be a military dedicated to attacking random people who are just trying to live in society because they're "illegal", especially considering this society is already built on attacking random people and the attackers, by their own definitions, are actually already here illegally. The fact that this simple slogan pisses you off is a genuinely fascinating concept and makes me think you aren't too happy to abide by the social contract.

"No-one is illegal on stolen land" is a staunchly pro-immigration, anti-colonial, and anti-borders statement made by people in anarchist-adjacent circles. You're arguing about laws and legal processes that people with this sentiment hate and seek to abolish. Everything you've stated here is correct, but in this context it doesn't matter, isn't it pedantic?

Oh don't worry, I'm under no delusion it's some sort of leftist utopia, it's just that Manitoba could be FAR worse. Please keep fighting for those rights regardless of whatever laws are in place, don't just assume it's all settled.

I'm in Texas and have been looking into Manitoba, and can assure you based on their parties alone that it's "only right-wing in the context of Canada" 100%.

I have no idea what adding Minnesota would do though, it would completely change politics in the area even if it was its own province, never mind the US actually allowing that to happen.

Protests are basically giant rallies of people in your area who are motivated by similar grievances as you. The protests by themselves don't do much but you can discourse and connect with other people who attend them.

You're coming in here arguing that being mean to fascist goons is bad, and then when multiple people disagree you go "I actually, uh, didn't mean what I typed directly in my comment!!"

Both of the things you've typed here are genuinely useless. Go talk to your neighbors and help them instead of being a counterrevolutionary on Lemmy. There's a comment a bit further up on this very thread with extremely useful information, go read it.
