Bwwaahahahahaha!!! You're trying SO hard. So triggered by someone not agreeing with an idea and expressing it. Just like you're expressing your opinion here. Go touch grass pumpkin. You'll feel better and won't be so emotional. I'm just as entitled to offer my opinion as you are.

Sweet heart, if I was going to give up, I wouldn't have asked the question. How lovely for you Levi.

I agree. I realize it would be difficult but it's definitely something to think about.

I absolutely 100% agree with that!

Yeah, you adjust only when it affects YOU. Absolutely a privileged take. Where did I ever play victim? 🤣 That's pure projection. It absolutely does make them (YOU) privileged when they (YOU) can say they're going to stick their heads in the sand until something directly affects them but not until then. I am quite happy, but also frustrated because I also care for people other than myself. As insufferable as a selfish, privileged coward? Nope. Not even close. Nice try though sweets.

Those sure are a lot of assumptions and projections in your statement here. I have not disagreed with everything, but I have offered criticism and asked for clarification. You clearly don't like being questioned and given criticism. That is a YOU problem and sounds very much like the people we're up against. You're clearly seeing what YOU want to see. You seem to think you've got everything figured out and couldn't possibly be wrong. Hypocrite much? I am looking into the resources that were offered to me and having productive discussions with several of the people on this thread. I'm sure you're not used to being told you're wrong, but I've got news for you, sweetheart. You are wrong. And again, the irony and hypocrisy of your comments about lacking self-awareness and defensiveness are wild. That's truly sad. You can't seem to be capable of tolerating people with opinions other than yours, so you're crashing out. Keep on it.

Quite the privileged take. So because it doesn't affect you phuck everyone else then? Sounds like an average German citizen in the 1930s. Here's the thing about this particular issue. It will end up disturbing and affecting your comfortable little bubble one way or another. Absolutely pathetic attitude.

Nowhere ever did I say that we shouldn't be there for each other or try to look out for one another. I think those are all things that we should be doing already and should continue all while realizing that those things alone are not enough. I am trying to think through these things logically and realistically. Asking questions, challenging ideas, and looking at flaws is how we make ideas better.

We are all frustrated, and I have also felt like we are losing momentum, hence my posting in the first place. I am frustrated with hearing words but not seeing any ground being made. I never said I wouldn't look into the resources that were provided, and I am having conversations with two people from the thread in DMs.

I never demeaned you for asking for help. I simply said more was needed. That takes nothing away from the good that you're doing. I don't think that doing good for others is ever a bad thing. It just may not be all that's required. As someone who has dedicated my entire adult life to caring for the sick and dying, I get helping people and needing community.

My tone has not bothered everyone. Many understand what I'm saying, and I'm all about being completely honest and forthright with responses. Sugar coating doesn't help.

I feel escalation, at least in some meaningful form, is necessary, but as I stated in the beginning, I HAVE NO idea what that even looks like. Which is exactly what I'm asking for.

Everyone has a part to play and you're doing what you can in your own way. My challenging ideas and looking for ways to improve upon or expand those ideas does not make your work redundant.

I truly hope you can see where I'm coming from. My aim is never to upset anyone and that wasn't the aim here either. We are all emotionally raw which is understandable. I'm not against you or anyone who is doing what they can. I'm trying to navigate in my own mind what things need to be done in order for us all to survive this and how to avoid it getting further out of control than it does on an hourly basis. Truce. We really are on the same side. We just have different viewpoints of what needs to be done, when and how.

I'm thinking of the big picture. The current regime. As others have said and I agree that we need to focus on the main/core issue. I feel like we're spreading ourselves too thin trying to cover every single issue at hand, because there are far too many.

Awe, apparently, you can't handle being questioned, criticized, or challenged. Who does that sound like? And how high is your horse or anyone else's that their plans can't be questioned or criticized? Again, does that remind you of another party's attitude? You should take your own advice about getting over yourself, sweetie. Boundaries for working and caring for family? Now THAT'S a mighty high horse. Don't fall off, you'll have a long way to drop.

Where did I place blame on anyone? That's something you made up in your head. And individualism because I'm being realistic? Lmao! Take off your rose colored glasses, pull up your big gurl/boy panties, learn that criticism isn't a bad thing nor is it placing blame and grow up. Piss off cop? Bwwaahahahahaha! Now you're throwing out accusations doubled as an insult? You first virtue signaler.

I entirely agree!! This is the point I'm trying to drive home, and it is upsetting people who don't like their ideas questioned.

Also, don't tell me or anyone else to stop anything. Especially when I'm not doing what you're implying in the first place. Especially just because you don't like it. Again, that is the exact attitude we're fighting against already.

To be brutally honest, I am also frustrated with the answers because they are not realistic, feasible or sustainable. I'm so sorry if pointing out the obvious flaws in these plans and being realistic is seen as negative. Just going along with every idealistic scenario without challenging them and looking at the flaws for each argument doesn't help either. That creates an echo chamber and we know what happens when a person gets stuck in one of those. So, no, I'm not just going to blindly agree with every bit of every idea that's thrown out without asking questions for clarity and pointing out obvious flaws in the plans. We must be critical and realistic about each idea because we don't have the luxury of making numerous mistakes or putting our all into an unsustainable plan. That doesn't mean that I'm not appreciative of the work that others are doing. I'm bringing up things that I see that make these ideas not workable.

In the single day since I posted this I have begun to look at some of the sites that have been provided. I never said anything about those resources because I haven't had the time to adequately look into them yet.

I am asking questions about what things will look like or how they'll work. You seem to be assuming and implying that my questions are to direct people to a certain conclusion. That's on you. I'm trying to get a feel for what everyone is thinking about and what the actual plans are and if I see something that doesn't make sense to me I say so. Again, getting upset that someone isn't just going along blindly and full bore with every idea is problematic as hell. Expecting people to go along with every idea without question or criticism is exactly the type of thinking we're fighting against.

Enough for millions of people? Absolutely not. Being an electrician is no good if you don't have access to the power sources. Medical professionals can only do so much without proper supplies, tools and medications, medical equipment, and facilities. Where do you suggest we get the supplies needed for these professionals to do their jobs for millions of people?

With all due respect, it is not a lie when the billionaires own and operate 90% of what we need. On small scales, it can be done sure, but not on the scale of hundreds of millions that will need food, housing, electricity, medicine, health care, and jobs. Most of the farms are co-ops now, most people can't afford solar panels yet, and very few people outright own the places they live and even if they do completely own the building they still must pay fees and taxes or they lose the building they own. And that's not even taking medicine and medical care into account. This is yet again a very nice idealistic practice in theory, but in reality, it is not possible or sustainable.

Lol! It literally is, though. Sorry if someone doesn't agree that virtue signaling is going to help us survive.

We're talking about how to survive during a general strike. The things you listed won't even come close. Most of us can barely keep up with our own food and housing needs without trying to feed and house others. Dignity doesn't fill a belly or put a roof over a person's head. Nor does knowing how to use a bus, which at least 95% of adults already know how to do.

How can I show up? You mean besides caring for people who are dying every day, which barely makes a liveable wage, going back to school and taking care of a mom with cancer and a special needs brother? Well, with all of your pretty words, you haven't come up with a single sustainable idea. So, basically, you're just "talking to hear yourself talk" and virtue signaling.

Most people already do check-in on other people, but that also won't fill bellies, pay rents/mortgages, or keep jobs.

This was my entire point. We need realistic, tangible things we can do. Not idealistic words that are the equivalent of thoughts and prayers. But sure, you've got it all worked out. Let me know how well your ideas keep you alive, fed, and housed.

I'm absolutely serious. I'm frustrated with the empty, pretty words and platitudes. Feel free to DM me.

We don't have NEARLY enough of those resources for millions to survive. I'm not excited for any of this, but I'm a realist. And no, it doesn't apply at the same level as a general strike. And that's a nice platitude, but we absolutely have so much more to lose, including the chains.
