LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•Smithsonian begins removing exhibits, artifacts from African American History MuseumEnglish17·5 days agoI wouldn’t say 40% are “fine with this”. Its more like 40% of Americans are some combination of: Uneducated by design, Brainwashed by decades of propaganda, Kept so far in poverty they can’t focus on anything but their next paycheck, indoctrinated into toxic religious communities, etc. The current state of the US, has been carefully molded and shaped into what it is now by the fascists in power.
As for people not fighting back? Some are. Not enough of course, but that goes back to keeping people in poverty. It would take me, for example, 7 hours of driving just to get to my state capitol to protest. Not to mention a couple hundred $ in gas. People working two jobs and living paycheck to paycheck just can’t do that realistically.
I hate that my country has turned into this fascist shithole and wish that more people would rally and fight. I hate that I’m sitting here making excuses for these people but I’m really trying not to lose my humanity in all this. The sad truth of the matter, though, is that people won’t fight unless their life is disrupted so much that it snaps them out of their survival mentality. Bread and Circuses and all that.

Im stealing this.
Yeah, I think it reads more just have a breakdown/burnout but your a good person for writing that out. <3
Ive told this story before so heres the short version. In high school I had a part time job at a dinner and some Kristian Karen Klub came in and tipped with these fake bills. It had the church name on it, which happened to be on my way to school so the next day I just went and shoved them in their donation box.

LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How are you preparing for the recession?English31·22 days agoI just made a shopping list of bulk items im going to stock up on tomorrow. Just staples like four, rice, beans, pasta and stuff like that for now but I might start doing some small scale gardening. I only have a tiny patio to work with so probably potato buckets and small herb garden. Other than that, its just kinda wait and see i guess.
This hurt my brain for a second.

Im on Mullvad as well and on YouTube itself I have no issues. If its an embedded video on another site though, I get this 90% of the time-
Donut bungs.
LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Asking the Supreme Court To Let Him Have Black SitesEnglish13·30 days agoI realize this article is from 2023, but I hate that every photo Ive seen of this place shows the same group of heavily tatted gang members and not any of the innocent people that are being held here. Feels like a deliberate attempt to to distort the public’s concept of the people being shipped there.
Me for the past 6 months…

LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which is the cheapest way to manage my body after death ...English11·1 month agoSeconded on donating. It was free when I needed it for a family member and they sent a really lovely memorial letter. It listed all the things the donations went to like helping to restore sight in a veteran. You also still receive the cremated remains afterwards. Its a great option.
