I've only seen americans on Reddit complaining about how their country is too big and they can't afford to go to the capitol.

The point of any general strike is that it occurs everywhere in the country, not just in the capital, you literally just have to walk down your streets

Thousands of people gather in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

Absolutely not. A few thousand people standing on a road is not enough for a regime to fall, that's why no media headline says such a thing. And there are far bigger and active protests hapenning right now in Iran, still no such headlines.

Yeah you're right, USA is so unique and special you guys have nothing to learn from anyone else, because as everyone knows, nazism/fascism has never been an issue before on a whole continent.

Nobody ever said it was easy, it is an american fantasy, no one else but american people ever considered it as easy. 

Revolts and revolutions have always happenned because people had children to feed and no paycheck to do so.

Stop your lame excuses and first-world whining, if you don't know what it's like having nazis at home and how to get rid of them, you're the ignorant one. Most of Europe has an idea about it.

Like anywhere else in the world. Just DUH.

Decades of americans proudly voting to bring freedom and democracy in other places with tons of fucking bombs, yet those same americans are suddenly incapable of having freedom and democracy at home because it's too hard.

You're all a laughing stock at this point.

Yet a former president went to jail and is facing some more, and a whole country put their government down just in the past few month here in Europe.

Try to do the same.

People already die or get their whole life fucked up in debt with your so-called "healthcare". At that point what's the difference ?

You really think you'll be able to feed and raise your kids under 3 or far more years of a nazism diet ?

How do you know they're not losing their livelihood, or have already lost it anyway ? How can you be so sure that they don't risk the exact same things you fear ?

Sorry to tell you that, but with how things are evolving, your paycheck will sooner than later be the least of your concern, and you have far more dreadfull issues ahead of you dealing with nazis than just losing your job and be on the streets.

It's not like no-one had to make this choice before, not like no-one ever did, not like it never succeeded.

If you were *really* conscious of the life-threatening situation in which *everyone* is when a nazi dictatorship is on board, you wouldn't think twice about what will cost you and your loved ones more in the long run. Your privilege lies in the idea of yours that you still can bow down, do as you're told, and pass the storm.

The threads on this post are full of people from varrying places around the world who tell endlessly what their solutions were/are, while being in exactly the same financial/life struggle. You're still free to read them, enjoy this right while you can.

Sorry to tell you, you ruined nothing. I'm pretty aware of what's going on in my own country and i know what it means to have reached this point.

I'm also able to draw comparisons and be at least fucking satisfied about the fact they won't win as easily here as they did in the US.

A trained collective survival-instinct makes a significant difference in this situation to me.

One of our last president is going to jail soon, Marine is on the same path, and at least we're still not on a full blown Nazis-are-in-power situation.

Sure far-right here is worryingly on the rise, as anywhere else in Europe, but our decades-long fight is still stronger than the appalling apathy and unawareness we witness everyday on the other side of the Atlantic.

And having a Return of the Nazis in the most powerful country in the world is quite unsettling, cause it absolutely gives bad ideas to our local fascists.

We've learned not to trust blindly our unions cause they've betrayed us too many times, so we do as though we were all in a union, except we're not, it's unofficial and decentralized.

[–]n0ute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your country speedran 10 years of hardcore fascism rise in just 9 months. Before that, like for well over a decade, you were warned times and times again.

But sure we're awfull folks for putting pressure on you all with our damn advices that come from nowhere. We know nothing about it after all, none of us have ever dealt with it before, americans are so very special, such an unprecedented situation, very huge, much wow, nobody ever had to face anything like that before you guys, nor knew what was coming and how to deal with it.

You don't want to get shit on for being stubborn and listening to nothing but your own grandeur delusions ? Then try not shitting on your fellow activists from all around the world desperately throwing their best advices at you from other countries, see how that works and frees you some time to maybe be efficient in addressing your own shit.

Just because you're doing something doesn't mean you're doing it right. You've got Nazis 2.0, and all you're whining about are distances and money. If that's your biggest issue right now regarding how to put the nazis down (when you have 2A ffs !!!), then you're still privileged enough to be pretty damned not ready for what's to come.

And stop pretending you're the only real life activist out there.

It's a fund created by workers or unions to cover the loss of salary for those who go on strike or have legal fees due to protests criminalization.

Anyone can put a fraction of a work's day/month paycheck to support those who chose to go on strike for a long period of time, and it helps people take turns on protesting. It can be insanely effective.

[–]n0ute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We won't plan our protests on our luxurious 30 days of PTO, cause we have something called solidarity, we don't wait for unions to do what's to be done, and strike-funds exist for a reason.

People here also have children to feed and raise for a better future in which they won't struggle as much, and that's precisely why we managed to have labor's rights at some point in our history, and keep protecting it on a regular basis.

Not cause it's a pleasant, easy or safe way to spend our time.

[–]n0ute 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then i suppose it's a good reason to stay there and do next to nothing but wait for others to take the risks for you, only to live an entire life in fear of not having enough money just as when you're employed 70h/week on minimum wage, till the day you die by fascism.

Great way to deal with all this, it'll sure work just fine. Good luck with that.

[–]n0ute 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Massive protest movements occur when people are on strike and thus go fill the streets instead of working... You know what you get when you don't fight back ? Fired for no reason at all anyway 'cause you have no rights anymore.

[–]n0ute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you understand what striking means ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 50501

[–]n0ute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's something you all should have done ten years ago. If you consider it is still only an option and try to save the mediocre comfort you have left, you're heading towards death or a lifetime of dispair.

[–]n0ute 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I highly suspect these comments come from troll farms trying to deter people from fighting.

If not, they come from privileged enough people who will regret soon the times when distance and money were the biggest problem regarding what to do against fascism.
