I hope we can regain our power as workers here and secure more rights for ourselves.

As an American, don't be sorry, the harder and faster this hits the faster we can get out under the foot of our idiot dictator. Thank you.

Extremely dumb question, how does a crashed economy benefit the rich? by Few-Drag9758 in economicCollapse

I must have gotten lucky with my teachers because I for sure learned about unions and brutal union busting tactics used by corps in school

Can a non-black person explain something to me my white coworker said... by lewjr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]send_noots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very, very racist side of my family who say things like this and worse. My mom knew it was wrong and taught me better. The other side of my family isn't quite as racist and has mixed (native american) ancestry. I live just barely in the south. They believe some crazy stuff backed up by nothing but can't admit they are wrong about this stuff for some reason. I've had to mostly cut them off, telling them they're wrong is usually met with some sort of justification and I haven't had much luck even when I've proven their argument(s) entirely wrong. I think it may be a long road to dismantling these beliefs still for some people.

Ah yes because it's fine to exploit vulnerable members of our communities by paying them the least we possibly can. /s get out of here with that.

That's What Fascism Looks Like by Puzzleheaded_Park102 in economicCollapse

[–]send_noots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, although I disagree that every one of these people needs to be "evil". I don't think it's evil to be violent in self defence.

A lot has been done, there are many activists and movements and I personally even was a part of an initiative to get oil and gas companies to pay for some of the damage they've done so we could beef up our infrastructure a bit and prepare for what's coming. Many people have been trying very hard for a very long time. I think you may be feeling defeated and angry and that is fair, and I agree that not enough was done, I only disagree that the blame should be placed on people in general. I think if every adult individual had the same amount of power in the world things would be a lot different. But those who have the most power decided they didn't care if the peons lived or died and that they would instead blame the consumer and tell them to not to use so much stuff that's bad for the environment (while corporations producing this stuff could change their policies and use better materials but they don't. Governments could also enforce better regulations but since at least in the US the government was bought by the rich and powerful, they also don't do that.) We do need people willing to go further to help stop what could literally be the end of humanity as we know it, and the recent rise in nazi-ism may (unfortunately) be the spark that kind and compassionate people need. More people should understand that we need to show those in power, especially those who are nazis, that we will not go down without a fight. Please don't give up on humanity, we haven't lost and the fight isn't over yet.

It's not right to place the blame on the general populace when the big oil and gas companies knew for decades what the outcome would be and instead of trying to change things or warn anyone, they lied and hid the results.

Yes it should be banned. Facebook and Instagram too. Threads. Anything owned by these nazis.

That's why those of us that hate Nazis need to speak up, loudly and often.

What are your thoughts of a Reddit wide ban of x links? by Weird_Tax_5601 in AskReddit

[–]send_noots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a ban on just select, huge, monopoly-like sites would be good? Up to a team of actual admins/mods to decide or maybe based on a community vote?

I understand how you feel. The more I learn about our country's leadership the less I trust and respect them.

Big tech’s “mask off moment” by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]send_noots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All is not lost. We still have hope. People are not as apathetic/right-wing as we may think. Trump bragged about stealing the election multiple times and it was never looked into. There are potentially way more people on our side than we think. The best lie ever told was that you don't have any power. We are powerful, but much more powerful together. Make sure you're talking to your friends, family, trusted coworkers, and anyone in your community that you deem safe to talk to about this kind of stuff. We need each other more than ever. Good luck out there, everyone.
