As others have said, I guarantee there are movements and organzing happening in your area.

Don’t be the person shouting that others aren’t doing enough when you aren’t doing more than complain online.

Use this energy. It’s kind of hilarious that you’re complaining about how people are fighting amongst themselves while you’re doing it too.

Some people have to focus on survival, and don’t have the energy to do more. That’s by design. Intentional design by those in power. So if you have that energy, go do for them. Work with unions and local lawmakers to improve conditions for the people living paycheck to paycheck instead of trying to shame them into just magically having more energy after ensuring they’ll be able to eat and have a place to stay.

Why are people not revolting and asking questions

… they are tho??? Your question says more about you and the people you surround yourself with than it does about “people” in general.

If you’re asking why you don’t hear about it in the news or online, it’s because corporations, billionaires, and the government own mass media and control the narrative on there. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, not because we’d rather have it streamed or printed in magazines, but because revolution is inherently antithetical to the purpose of The Spectacle

Liberate yourself from the need to have mass media give you permission to revolt.

There were country wide protests today, were there not? Sounds like people are doing things! You should join up with them

Yes but that’s totally different as its related to death because of ICE.

Not for dethroning Pedophiles

One step at a time. We’ve been assaulted from every angle and need to choose our battles one at a time. You can’t invoke systemic change by being scattered across a thousand tragedies at once.

I see a future leader. We need more people like you.

Have you been to a protest?

gaymer@aussie.zone · 1 day ago

I live in Florida. Protests are only happening in Minnesota

Keeponstalin@lemmy.world · 1 day ago

Maybe go out to a protest, they’re happening everywhere including in Florida

Maybe start with checking your local DSA calendar. It’s not difficult

Thomas Jefferson was both a slaver and a pedophile (and he enslaved his own kids too, just despicable behaviour but even more American than apple pie)! What I’m trying to say here is that the country was built on blood, amorality and degeneracy, it will take a lot more than this for it to change into something moral and prosocial if it ever does (best bet is they just go full Mad Max and kill each other and better people replace them, maybe the actual locals and mestizos?), and its the foundations that need to be changed too.

Isn’t that exactly why? Everyone is too burned out from living their lives, and the predatory (heh) nature of social media platforms is draining even more energy from them.

We need to support each other and help each other get out of this state, not point fingers at each other.

And when that happens, uniting and bringing them down will be possible.

That said, jail isn’t nearly enough punishment for the Epstein class.

You sound like a person of action. Make a plan and execute. Don’t have to wait for somebody to do it for you.

People dont want to associate themselves. Too scared to do anything about it. They keep saying that they have a mortgage so have to slave 9-5 and can’t join me in the protest.

Emiliano Zapata once said, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

But in 2026 its like I would rather slave 9-5 for the rest for my life on my knees and get throated by billionaire balls while scrolling Facebook and watching netflix
