That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.
This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.
A lot of states changed to $15/hr. And a lot of jobs offer $15/hr to start even in states with a low minimum wage.
My bad. The sources I looked up emphasized their boycotts and stuff.
It still wasn’t a violent revolution though.
I only have this issue on political communities. Anger towards Americans is much more pronounced on Lemmy than on Reddit. People will call for violence a lot more frequently here than on Reddit.
I understand the anger towards Americans, but it can be downright toxic to organizing at times.
I think it’s “Tesla Sucks”. Half of the swastika looks like an “s”.

Just thank all representatives who voted on this. Both Democrat and Republican.
What are you guys talking about?
It’s not limited to Republicans. I saw this during election season as well with Uncommitted.
Those who wanted to vote for Kamala downplayed how bad she was for Palestine. Those who were withholding their votes constantly downplayed how dangerous Trump was, and then blamed Kamala for putting them in this position.
Edit: I’m not passing judgement. I’m just trying to show how it’s not exclusive to Republicans to change your perspective so you don’t feel bad about voting a particular way.
First one is Captain Obvious.
Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.
