What do you do when people don't care? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it's too late?

By using exclusionary discourse, assimilated from bougie fake activism

This is a totally normal, relatable sentence

I've seen some leftist arguments that were denser than lead, this ain't that. Let me rephrase for them, though:

Stop allowing social media fart sniffing contests control how you do activism. There's mastodon, and then there's real life.

I'm onboard with this sentence. I'm sorry, but if you're going to preface an argument on the premise of kneeling to another's level, then actually commit to the kneel.
