Meanwhile on Lemmy: don’t be a doomer, everything will be fine after the midterm.
I came here specifically because I was tired of people telling me everything was going to be ok, we are not ok and things are going to get much worse.
Well, don’t talk about doing something about it. They might ban you. 🤫
Nothing I want to do is bannable for me saying it.
I just wanted empathy and a place to recontextualize failing to meet the increasingly hostile demands of daily life instead of the same blind toxic positivity that terminally individualizes all suffering and condescends empathy towards suffering outside of our immediate view while pathologically labelling every sign of collapse as just “the pendulum swinging one way before it comes back”.
What about the things you wish other people would do for you?
None of those things you are indirectly gesturing at would do anything but hasten a collapse into a world even less welcoming to someone with a brain like mine.
Well, I hope you have the world you’re willing to fight for.
Fuck Off
I have never seen anyone say this. There are a lot of people saying we can make things less bad with a good midterm result, and that should still be something we try to do.
I have you tagged as far right. I’ll allow you to argue that if you want.
Lol. I’m curious what made you tag me with that. I’d call myself an Anarchist. I’m pretty fucking far left.
Edit: Your account is 4 days old. Lol. You could only maybe have seen a single comment from me before.
Ignore the date of the account, I’ve been here for years. If you don’t get banned from half of Lemmy for calling for the death of fascism at least once per month, then you are a conservative.
Only if you choose a shitty instance. My instance is pretty good about not defederating and not banning people.
But also I’m not ignoring the age of the account. First, anyone can say that, and second, unless you copied the tags, you still need to tag me. Clearly you fucked up somewhere.
Tags are client level. I didn’t fuck up anything, you just don’t know.
No, I’m pretty sure I know me better than you do. You fucked up somewhere.
