sure. wait on government to fix the problem.

OR

take the matter into your own hands. we’d have fixed the police problem by now if they were scared of us.

it’s an extinction level event for a lot of things. we’re already out of time on so many important issues. every living creature on this earth should consider him a threat. we are in self defense mode, or at least we should be. sadly, most of you don’t seem to understand how dire the situation really is.

but whatever. stick your head back in the sand i guess.

i don’t think we’d have mandatory body cams or a real push for reform without them. if it had just been peaceful protests, i think america would have shrugged it off like they do every other protest. if protests don’t cause disruption, they usually don’t have any effect. on the other hand, it could be argued that the protests have galvanized another portion of americans into being completely opposed to reform.

but of course, that portion of america is the problem and i think they deserve more disruption.

oh, i’m sorry. did you have to think about reality for a second?

eat psychedelic mushrooms, kids. they’re good for ya!

amen

yeah, most of you beta leftists get super hung up on hypocrisy. it really astounds me. they don’t give a shit about your goose and gander arguments or what you think of them. are you going to clutch your pearls forever or are you going to do something about it?

EDIT: yes, i understand that the beta cucks will not like this message and downvote me. that’s the nature of being a beta cuck.

everybody wants to be civil but we’re literally in a self defense situation.

my god you’re right. it’s astounding how subordinate women are down there. the life goal of around 80% OR MORE of those women is get pregnant before 20 and marry. it’s sad and compounds a lot of problems. it’s a swath of population the world would be better off without.

the rabbit hole is so deep down there. is it the oppressive religion that leads them all to be so problematic for society? maybe it’s the shitty education? maybe it’s the oppressive patriarchy? maybe the women want that hellish life as much as the men? is it the conservative culture?

in the end, you just kinda have to say to yourself “i don’t know and i don’t care. burn it all down”

didn’t realize i was in the EILI5 sub, but thanks?

we been doing that for years. hasn’t changed much. what’s the next step?

EDIT: protests are 20th century passe’ and only affect change if they become violent (see george floyd), petitions are almost a complete waste of time, your congressman definitely isn’t listening to you, i still believe voting is effective but not enough (and may soon be nerfed into uselessness)

really? seems a little less than organized and effective.

typical zoomer BS really. don’t understand, don’t care, going to make it all about themselves and their identities. i’m about ready to treat the same way as i treat the conservatives - like a problem to be solved.

of course. sure. patriarchy, religion, fascism, captialism, all the usual suspects. anybody that doesn’t get it hasn’t been paying attention.

but what do we DO ABOUT IT?

i don’t understand how lemmy works. this meme obviously suggest killing fascists, which is in fact, the correct answer. but if i say “we should kill fascists” they’ll delete my comment. WTF? say it in a meme, because that’s somehow, different?

i’ve been voting for 30 years. hasn’t saved us yet. what’s the next step?

EDIT: voting is important, but it’s not enough.

don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. it’s possible to be connected to nature and not be a regressive society.

i’ve read all the comments here and don’t see one single person talking about what to do about it. it’s just a big circle jerk of ‘republicans bad’ like we didn’t know that. ‘religion bad’ - yeah, no shit sherlock. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

i think everyone should move to texas and vote out the conservatives
