        That would be you.

        Trying to blame and demoralize activists for not doing enough while not actually acting on your beliefs makes you a sympathizer and a coward.

          Lmao you’re not activist. You’d have to be active. Reading your daily post and commenting “these people suck” is not activism.

          Me pointing it out is demoralizing because it should be. In the past decade you people have giving up more victories to people you consider morons and you think i should be here playing along like that’s OK.

          You’re given a Ferrari of an application and instead you treat it like the most boring version of the big platforms. Wake the fuck up

          Being out there in the world and actively spreading ideas, engaging and growing is activism. You lot are wilting.

          I’m tired of saying its OK to disengage because you lot just don’t like it. This is like voting. If you’re not actively participating then you’re giving the opposition power and you’re a part of the problem. You’re not forced to do anything but i shouldn’t be forced to play along like that’s OK when so many here also try to post about MAGA and their bullshit.

          Trump is about to pull some bullshit with elections. What channels have any of you created to fight back? Or are you just going to stand in a fucking street again. I’m not playing this game anymore where I have to play polite like you’re people doing the bare minimum are not part of contributing to his success.

            Brother you don’t know what we’re all doing in our private lives. We get on here to discuss. What the fuck is anybody supposed to be able to do on Lemmy? We are here to avoid the craziness out there and have a space for ourselves. I am involved in activism. I am involved in a couple programs locally. People are getting organized man. You are mad because you’re at home doing nothing but insulting people.

            While you were whining on the internet I was knocking on doors as part of the largest turnout for GOTV in my county, today in 98 degree weather.

            So yeah, I’m active. I have yet to see you talk about the wonderful organizing, community buding, and resistance efforts you’re taking part in.

              Oooooo you knocked on fucking doors while people were eating dinner. Is this 1937?

              Meanwhile some racist 67 year old used Facebook to reach 1 million viewers and explain to them that Trans people are mentally ill rapists.

              So you spoke to maybe 300 people while you burned 1500 calories, spend 12 hours of your free time, $50 in gas, and energy to reach .003% of what that racist did in 30 minutes.

              So explain to me how that math works. See that problem now. Do you see exactly what I’m talking about yet. The reason the left are losing is because they think your methods are the ones that win political victories while they are using modern methods using a fraction of the energy and time. Their activism wins every time. Until we admit it, we’ll continue to lose in this Markov chain where the end result is our eradication and their growth.
