"People like" me? Care to clarify? There won't be a "power shift." There will be no uprising. There will be no revolution.

Maybe you can enlighten me on what will happen to people like me. I'd love to make some more FBI reports. Go on, let's find out.

Exactly. :)

think the best we can do given the circumstances is to be careful about how we consume as that can promote apathy and further doomscrolling

Agreed. So many on Lemmy and Reddit just doomscroll all day, all night. Never looking up to see the people around them who are smiling, going on with their lives, enjoying good conversation, hugging, kissing, laughing, etc.

The world isn't perfect. I get that. Especially depending on what country you are in.

But here in the US we have it sooooo good, it is actually rude to complain about how tough things are here, because so many other people have is way worse and actually have real problems.

Here people complain about making 80K a year on their very first jobs from college, and that their mom watches Fox News too much and/or their "all" Lemmy section has more than one post by Universal Monk. Big. Fucking. Deal. lol

I'm not a Trumper. I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted socialist party, friend.

And yep, I live here in America. Not fantasy at all. I described what was happening outside in my view just as I was writing it.

I know you won't see this because you blocked me, but just in case I am getting in before you block, I wanted to say you made a great post! I upvoted ya.

It's strange to me that you would block me because I think Luigi is a scumbag, but that's totally your right. And I still think he's a scumbag. I also feel that history will prove me right; he is not the hero you all think he is.

But the rest of your post had really great points!

Exactly. Most of the people in this thread actually seem to prefer to be depressed and doomscroll.

But life is actually pretty fucking great.

This kind of “activist” is best termed a “slacktivist”.

And they make up the majority of Lemmy! lmao

Well said!
