I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but removed. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.
yes, a strike is a subset of protest, but the person you were responding to said “standing in a street? nobody cares” because they are accurately saying that the current protests are not labor strikes
not at all.
they were inaccurately saying that protests do not affect policy.
that is flatly incorrect.
protests do affect policy, regardless of the form of protest.
they did not say “the current protests are not labor strikes”, which would be a bizarre non-sequitur.
they said that “standing in a street? no one cares.” can you dospute that? is standing in a street what got us 8 hour days, or was it the labor strikes?
“they said that “standing in a street? no one cares.” can you dospute that?”
Yes, easily. I can prove them and you irrefutably incorrect.
The civil rights movement happened because people were “standing in a street”
women got the right to vote because people were “standing in a street”
racial inequalities in labor were legislatively addressed because people were “standing in a street”
remember that " I have a dream" speech?
Guess where Martin Luther King Jr was standing?
y’all ig’nant.
