    Maybe if we didn’t have such a lunatic in charge we wouldn’t feel so glum.

    Maybe if we didn’t have all these companies that continue to swallow smaller companies only to lay off the staff they just acquired for “profits go up” we wouldn’t feel so glum.

    Maybe if companies weren’t telling us that a computer is going to actually replace us this time, or maybe sometime in the near future so don’t get comfortable where you are we wouldn’t be so glum.

    Maybe if the minimum wage could actually let someone comfortably rent an apartment without having to worry about going homeless we wouldn’t e so glum.

    Maybe if we didn’t have to have our healthcare tied to our employer, so we could follow our passion projects instead of selling our souls to the biggest business in your area we wouldn’t be so glum.

    Maybe if the planet wasn’t actively trying to kill us because we’ve actively been ignoring scientists who have said the climate change is real we wouldn’t be so glum.

    Maybe if we invested in the culture of our cities instead of focusing on making cars go through our towns even faster we wouldn’t be so glum.

    But idk, maybe I’m just a doomer.

      Maybe if we werent being tracked wherever we go.

      Maybe if our women family members werent having their rights stripped away by religious morons.

      Maybe if our trans communities werent being placed in danger.

      Maybe if Americans werent being shot dead in the street by federal agents.

      Maybe if our government was doing things For us instead of To us.

          I’d to hear your plan. I’m sure it is incredibly well thought out and contends with material conditions most people live under in the country well.

            but you’re the antifa CEO.
            Surely you have all the answers besides sarcastic whining?
            What can I say if you embarrassing weaklings can’t even muster a strike?
            You deserve no sympathy, only ridicule.

                Did you miss where I pointed out you can’t even do a strike?

                Even then, I’m not here to help you.
                You’re all guilty and I will be glad your cancer country is gone.
                You’re all complicit.
                Don’t you have a cool antifa t-shirt for just the proper occasion and a sign with an edgy slogan?

                  How do you suggest we make a national strike happen? Surely if it was so easy to do we would have done it right?

                  I don’t deny that being a member of this country makes me complicit in much of it’s crimes, but that is also why like half of my waking existence is focused on organizing, agitating, and educating the masses in my area.

                  I think it’s really funny you think you can assume so much about a person by a silly username they have on Lemmy.
