How bad do we let things get? Should we wait until the planet can’t sustain life anymore? Should we wait until it’s 100 degrees F in the Artic? Until wildfires blanket entire continents or the last glacier is gone? Should we wait until fascist billionaires take even more from us? Until there are Flock cameras at every mail box? Maybe we should wait until the wells run dry or the tornadoes never stop. When is it going to be enough? I’m so tired of seeing things getting worse. Every. Single. Day. I’m ready. I’ve been ready. How about you?

How do we coordinate? How do we look after each other? What is the signal? If we don’t work together then we are just continuing our slow march to destruction to the drum of the parasitic billionaires. Please, for us, for the cats, the dogs, the birds and trees. The fish and the whales, the beatles and the centipedes. Please tell me it’s worth it to you, that you’re willing to get uncomfortable, that you’re willing to fight. There are more of us than them, and we are rapidly running out of time to make that mean something.

    glad that you’re attending the performative protests

    Right, I forgot - nothing short of bombing the place I work will do. No I need to give you a diatribe of all the ways I’ve made life hard for ICE/MAGAts - because only then can I be a true scotsman I mean comrade.

    I’m not a big fan of the indivisible orgs i’ve run into. most recently had one group attempt to burn our local anti-ice group because they did a protest without a permit. complete impotent hall monitor energy.

    This is weird, I went to the protests specifically to connect with groups that would act outside of the protests.

    I mean i do expect ignorance from americans, I live here and i see it every day. I like to challenge you guys a little bit, gives you room to show what you really think about the rest of us.

    My dudette, you don’t need to bother punctuating. If it gets you to the answers faster I don’t give a shit. Also, none of this has been a challenge - this is just me killing time.

    that’s a hell of a euphamism for 'we couped their government and have been waging decades of economic war

    Where did I say that this was good? When have I ever said the Iranians deserve what’s happened to them? When have I ever said that the U.S. should be in the Middle East? I’m surprised you haven’t tried to say I’m pro Israel.

    Holy shit, you’re sitting here trying to suggest I’m ignoring nuance when that is quite literally your entire shtick. You’re sitting here acting like you don’t know damn well what you were doing (shit slinging, exactly like I was) and you expect me to treat you with respect?

      because only then can I be a true scotsman I mean comrade.

      tbh at this point even if you did luigi your office i would still disavow you on the basis of your gross behavior to me

      like if you’re actually opposed to the carceral state that you were a part of and have some remorse about that i would think you would have a little less vitriol for those of us on the left that call for it to be abolished.

      i call for death to america because we bring death everywhere else and comfortable americans need to have their sensibilities shocked a bit.

      ‘amerikkka must be dismantled’ doesn’t have the same ring to it

      This is weird, I went to the protests specifically to connect with groups that would act outside of the protests.

      i go to these things for the same reason too yaknow. my orgs a regular at pretty much every protest.

      none of this has been a challenge

      tell me about it, i did get to educate you about my favorite political slogan tho at least ahaha

      you expect me to treat you with respect?

      yes. in every interaction we’ve had you seem to have more ire for people on your left than nazis, zionists, conservatives. if you want me to view you as anything other than an abusive asshole maybe you could try changing your tack

        Yes nothing is ever good enough, blah blah blah, I’m a zionist or a fascist or whatever - shut the fuck up and crawl back into your safe space.

          excuse me for having an opinion of you based on your actions and work history

          also ty for demonstrating again in classic bluemaga fashion you have more hostility to people on your left than nazis, zionists or conservatives

            You simply must be braindead, to think that I wouldn’t speak this way to conservatives or nazis. I’m not sure where the zionists are, but you seem to know much more about that than I do.

            You can go cry in your safe space now, I’m sure there will be someone there you can circlejerk with.

              What do you mean? You post on meanwhileongrad, here’s you circlejerking about Hamas with some Zionists in your safe space.

              In this you’re crying about how mean people are to Americans and then doing the same thing you did with me earlier. asserting that they’re fake trans for not going along with Zionist narratives about Muslims and for not being american jingoists like you are

                You post on meanwhileongrad

                You dredge up a comment from 3 years ago and think you’re beating the schizo allegations?

                Also, how many times have you pivoted at this point? Are you part of the schizo squad that follows Hasan Piker around and harasses people for him? That would actually be fucking hilarious.

                  it was actually extremely easy, i just searched for comments you made about hamas in the nazi bar

                  i don’t watching fucking streamers, but thanks for tipping your hand as to where your political education comes from

                  I can’t remember the last time I saw any zionist sympathizing on meanwhileongrad

                    where your political education comes from

                    Cultist says I’m dumb and wrong, I’m in shambles! Meanwhile they sweep for Mao and Stalin.

                    Like I’ve said, you’re a schizo extremist that’s found themselves captured by a cult.
