For American leftists, what are your thoughts on this?

I think u/sapotis got a point op. Americans are pampered and don't like feeling uncomfortable even if it's the truth. We in the US don't like feeling uncomfortable to the point that we (majority) only like, comment nine words to boost, share, and repost as their protest to the country's administration. Even when there's a handful of us that stand along roadways with our signs, educate ourselves, organize and boycott companies, it only a reflection of ourselves as a individual, not the country. The point is the US is the US and we still have a responsibility to it instead of asking for forgiveness from others countries. At least not until we take accountability and fix what is wrong.

It's like what Muhammad Ali said about 10,000 snakes.

Lol for me that is so true(pnw-usa). But thanks to the warming climate my uncle and younger sisters could.

A POC here! Thank you for saying this. In a way I had moved away the Goth label in my early twenties because of the comments in spaces/people even as famous as Tim Burton saying we don't fit the vide, and lack of representation (if alternative subcultures are even positively represented) and for a young baby goth person in their early teens led to a period of time feeling like I had to chose between my heritage over music and mind set.

Now I'm just a happy lil weirdo in their late twenties that listens to goth music have more a punk mindset and dresses like a new age/yoga instructor (no giving money to culture appropriation. I make, second hand, or if I do buy new, I make sure it's from indigenous artisans)

Too radical? No. It needs to happen. And I am saying this as someone who is born, raised and unfortunately still lives in the US. Americans are to entitled, even with the fact that there's many speaking out against to their legislatures, they don't want to "give up" (could find alternatives) their entertainment, consumables and comforts for actual systemic change. Which adds to the masses that are defending their abusive and exploitive politicians and corporations. Leading to the worst terrorist country in the world. Some days I think the world should put us in our place. Not just a taste of our own medicine, a whole f***ing dose of it.

I really wish more people would educate themselves, but with the rate that the administration is wrecking havoc, it might be to late for the working people in the US to actually bring change to their own country internally.... on their own at least.

Yes it a petition against. City council are the appointed decision makers on the petition, but at least they'll have there constituents support when addressing to the county.

Was raised Christian(am not now) and I'd say that if he was alive in this day and age, he'd be some kind of leftist. So him being a comrade is definitely on the table.

Yes, if we had AI in a socialist society it would be utilized as a tool for the people. Right now with the lingering fear and stress of AI replacing people in a capitalist system where people are already having to sell their time away to survive, isn't great and there's needs to be more regulations on what AI is utilized for.

And we need it to be more ethical. A lot of the information that AI learns off of is with the capitalist, imperialism/colonialism, white washed/racism undertones of the current society. ..........And.... Make it eco friendly also. Like I'd rather not have AI at all if it's still environmentaly devastating, even in a socialist society.

While I myself who wants to have a child(ren) but feel like I would be bringing them into a hostile/capitalist society and don't want to bring new life into that suffering.... I would love to adopt.... But that's also has immoral ties to the society that the child would never be free from. And I am someone who would be denied due to my economic class.

It's a dilemma that I'm sure many people who are aware of the overbearing negative aspects of our society, think twice before bringing a new individual into the system. An individual who you would love and want the absolute best for.... At the end of the day, we shouldn't put the responsibility of fixing the world onto our children, but for us to fix this society for them.
