[solved] Do you know about the upcoming February 5th event ?

@Telodzrum@lemmy.world · 2 months ago

Love a protest in the middle of the workday, should be easy for most people to attend, no?

@dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 months ago

You realise that anytime is the middle of the work day.

Not everyone is working 9-5. People work shifts, nights, and weekends.

@Telodzrum@lemmy.world · 2 months ago

You realize that there are differences in the populations working at different times, right? Or are you just happy to be seen being outraged?

@dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de · edit-2 2 months ago

Sure I realise that, but I was more pointing out that whatever time a protest is there will be people like you unhappy with it.

I don’t know what gave you the impression I want to be seen outraged and I do hope you’re not making judgments about me over a single comment as that wouldn’t be very good.

It would be like me labelling you for the two comments I’ve seen you post. Positive intent my friend.

I’ve already seen someone on Lemmy say that they should feed their kids out of dumpsters if they lose their job that they rely on to live paycheck-to-paycheck (like almost half of Americans) and then their home because they can’t pay rent.

And if they lose their kids to CPS because they were made homeless and their parents were arrested during a general strike protest? Hey, they were clearly just MAGA bootlickers anyway.

I’m dubious of the reality of said comment, or the support it got in upvotes.

Most of us understand that protesting carries risks, and encourage others to risk what they feel okay with.

Yeah, I clearly have a good reason to lie about that, which is stuff. Either that or things. Or maybe because shut up.

On topic reply as always.

Flying Squid · edit-2 2 months ago

Do explain how me talking about the fact that people (like you) have no compassion or understanding for others when it comes to this event is not on-topic enough for you.

I understand that you think that people should sacrifice their jobs and their homes and their kids so that they can protest on a specific day, but I’m guessing that’s not going to get them to do it. Nor is being rude about it.

@Rekorse@sh.itjust.works · 2 months ago

You are overdramatic. You make mountains out of molehills, and somehow EVERY news story somehow affects you personally. So fragile.

Flying Squid · edit-2 2 months ago

This literally does not apply to me, so how does it affect me personally?

Are you operating under the strange and somewhat disturbing belief that you can only have compassion for people if they are going through the same things you are?

If people aren’t willing to give up 1 hour of their corporate slavery to stop facism, then we are already doomed.

Today you learn lot of people don’t live in their states capital city

@RedAggroBest@lemmy.world · 2 months ago

Yea, I’m looking at this but thinking “that’s not happening lol” with my state. I’m in AZ and anyone outside Phoenix is probably driving at least 2 hours just to get there.

For me: 6 hours in a car with 5000ft (1500m) drop/climb just for a protest that’s vaguely “against Project 2025”. I could never justify it.

There’s a difference between “willing” and “able” 😅

Flying Squid · 2 months ago

It’s 576 miles between El Paso and Austin. Please explain how someone is going to be able to get there within an hour with time to protest.

@boonhet@lemm.ee · 2 months ago

You had it correct at corporate SLAVERY.

Imagine you get fired over this, lose your home, stop being able to feed your family. I don’t think unemployment benefits in the US cover much, do they?

I hope most everyone who’s ABLE to protest, is also willing.

@sudoer777@lemmy.ml · edit-2 2 months ago

More like 2 days and money for a car or bus + gas, depending on where in the state you live
