You hurt their donors. You strike at your regular job but it only works if the majority do it or in key industries. It’s why the US has worked so hard to dismantle and discourage unions. Unions give the people power they can leverage.

Hard boycott is to stop consuming products from companies that donate to the administration. Dont buy them. Find alternatives where you can and go without when its not a necessity. It’s really really hard but its the most powerful non violent method available

Strikes and hard boycotts are incredibly effective. There are other less favourable options too, but you should probably start with the strikes and boycotts.

We have different values, I guess. I don’t think tolerating intolerance is acceptable. I think tolerance of intolerance is essentially condoning it. I don’t see how silencing hate speech will “come back to bite me” any worse than the environment it creates. Allowing violence in language encourages violence of other forms, slippery slopes and all that.

You can point the finger in the other direction, saying silencing speech is a slippery slope to limiting all speech, but I’m still confident in my beliefs that tolerating intolerance is the greater of the evils to me.

Paradox of tolerance. At this point in history it’s important to draw hard lines. It will be up to police enforcement and since generally police are sympathetic to white nationalism, i don’t think it will be used outside of public displays of clear intention.

Facts. I’m on lemmy via boost app on my phone. I wouldn’t be otherwise

Nah I don’t tell anyone unless it comes up. That said, I’m on social media and get DMs telling me I have autism accent, like multiple strangers, so I must not be subtle.

I want to add this location to my travel list. As someone from a squirrel-less country, where can I find the mutant squirrels?

The world wants teachers, doctors, and other specialists, but it can be very difficult to leave without money or higher education. You could look into masters and PHD programs internationally and try to leave via study to employment.

This was really helpful for me as a person living outside of the United States. We can feel the tension from across the Pacific but reading through the very real scenarios is sobering.

I see a thread of people shitting on an asshole calling human rights an opinion? It looks like he has 2/3 upvotes but if there was a downvote button i guarantee their comments would be in the negatives. It doesn’t look like a debate to me but people telling someone that it’s not a debate and if they think it is one they can go elsewhere. I guess the whole conversation could be removed but i think having one so full of support for transrights being human rights is good for other readers to see. If they agree with the asshole, they’ll know their “opinions” aren’t welcomed or supported here.

“Through this research, kids told us that it was important for Furby to be their ultimate best friend – a furry companion to do all the things a BFF would do, like dance to music, share fortunes, meditate, mimic each other in silly voices, and even put on a light show, and that’s exactly what we created.”

I love picturing small children setting up elaborate light shows for their best friends

Remember when reddit made fun of 9gag for the watermarked memes?! History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme
