Enemy? Are you in a war now?
I'd be happy to see you all fighting on the streets, would be a nice change from talking about democracy, acting as if you ever cared for it, and actually putting your money where your mouth is
BTW, lovely putting up the multi colored emojis, that will surely distract the minorities that were and keep being lambasted on Lemmy as the cause of losing the election (I don't know why, tho, it's clear you people don't care about democracy)
Says more about you than us.
Lemmy is not a single place. Just block those instances. We all know which ones you are referring to.
It's an ideological war. Not all wars are fought with combat, like the Cold War.
And yes, my stupid POC family either voted for Trump or didn't vote. What of it? I get to call them stupid all day every day because they did that when it could've been a historic voter turnout against fascists instead. One of them just got her citizenship, too, so good for her getting hers and she said fuck the rest.
Like the War on Drugs. War on Crime. War on Poverty. Of course these were all stupid in their concept and/or execution but you get the idea.
...yes it is called US healthcare and affording rent!
I don't know any better word for it, there are battle lines drawn, tens of thousands dead for meaningless reasons and soldiers everywhere fighting in hand to hand combat to feed their kids and access life saving healthcare they already paid for.
It sure as hell looks like a war to me, otherwise you have to explain to me this no mans land I am in full of the cries of the suffering and dying as their lives are brutally dissected by the 1% in the pursuit of the drug of having more money.
Would "slaughter" be more fitting than "war"? Technically yes, but we all know how powerless we are, there is no need to ruminate on it, calling it a war gives gives each other the chance to feel solidarity in our resistance.
