    Capitalism is very good at protecting itself.

    Join a union and vote radical left.

      vote radical left.

      If people voted based on issues instead of party loyalty…the US would be a completely different country.

        People should vote in their genuine best self interest, which is working class in 99% of all cases and they would have been best served with a mostly socialist party. So I guess i agree that party loyalty isn’t great.

      It’s especially good at protecting itself from literally zero threats.

    Sure, but I miss when the internet was an escape, now its kinda of dead for me, I spend more time offline because of the 24/7 outrage, like yeah im upset too, but it just gets repetitive, im not built to be stressed out constantly, im getting blood pressure issues, had to dlt x because the algoirthim shifted towards controversy hard, and have to use lemmy less since its just depressing/exciting in a bad way news all the time.
    Really wish lemmy was an exception, considering how small it is and how powerless the userbase is, yet its just another source of stress in my life lately

        Maybe Lemmy could have support for categorising/tagging communities and/or posts, such that one could follow, block, or maybe filter them. I.e. tag a community “Politics”, and users could simply express a lack of interest on the aforementioned category, and see no further from said community and others alike

          Not a bad point…

          We’re a subculture, which is a socially isolating, defensive posture to take. An offensive posture would be, I guess, to form a counterculture–and go out there to where the people are, so you can reproduce your culture in differently minded people.

          But who wants to do that when we’ve got this cozy wozy place.

      When people do try protests that are disruptive, people complain about it.

      i think protests should be focused on stopping the machinery that’s grinding us all up. But if your protest means traffic or a closed Walmart then all the short sighted idiots and all the people barely holding on get mad.

      I don’t think people are smart enough to deal with this world we have created.

    Because people give their power away to authorities, instead of taking control over their own lives. No one is going to rescue any of you. Only when we all accept this and move on, together, will we ever be free.
