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.
“…millennia of data imply otherwise”
If you don’t believe in the civil Rights movement or literally the founding of the US having occurred, there’s not much that’s going to convince you.
You believe the stories that the puppet masters you’re so afraid of have told you.
rebellions, protests, change history constantly.
you can literally read any history book and find this out, especially in modern democratic societies.
in fact, I defy you to find a single history book that says rebellions don’t change history.
“…may seem defeatist to you…”
there’s no 'may seem" about it, you’re advocating for hiding and not doing anything because you, contrary to fact, don’t believe that the rights you have today are the result oh organized rebellion.
because the people you perceive as above you told you that resistance is futile, you are squawking out that same message.
You are parroting the empty words of those you fear, exhorting protesters to do what your masters tell them to.
you are definitively defeatist, full stop.
“Better to accept this now and get through the disillusionment so that you can effectively resist into the future.”
absurd.
this is not the same as Hitler’s rise to power, because Hitler already did it and civilians, lawyers and judges in the US are fighting against it.
You are parroting those ignorant parties you perceive as more authoritative than you.
If this authoritarian coup works, part of their victory will directly be your fault for expressing these false sentiments and encouraging others to stop protesting.
“I absolutely hope that I’m wrong…”
you are unequivocally, factually and historically wrong.
The very fact that you’re able to express your cowardly sentiments and I am able to express my practical encouragement are proof that protests work.
The US was literally successfully founded on protests.
“…don’t make that hope very great.”
what is happening in the world has zero effect on hope, your attitude and actions determine your hope.
you are nervously crawling down the path of least resistance, which is apparently tearing down the principles and people who gave you your rights and liberty today.
