There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

That's kinda why I asked, and you remind me of a good point. They can cow us into submission, but they can't be everywhere all the time. We are legion. I wonder how we get people to act as such.
Snort. Give me a break. Americans are weak, placid, cowards. They're going to sit back and take it.
America couldn't even get enough people to do the bare minimum (voting) to prevent the current shitshow.
It's a country full of peoole who like to talk a big game, but when it comes down to taking meaningful action, everyone suddenly remembers something else they'd rather be doing and nothing actually gets fixed.
I would love to be proven wrong on that point, but I don't expect to be.
You've got me pegged. My family has been American for only one generation. We saw this all coming, decided to up stakes and head back to where we're from. I love the ideal of America, but it never really existed if we're being honest.
The problem wasn't the mix of cultures, the unwarranted optimism, or even the questionable-as-fuck founding fathers. It was the slavery that never ended, the stolen land never repaid, and the uncontrolled concentration of capital that convinced me to give it all up. It's a whole nation built on theft, and the very least I could do is steal myself and my family back from it all.
What? you mean a nation founded on rights only for rich white males and that entrenched slavery into their constitution isn't a great place to be? Kinda crazy.
Kinda crazy it took this long to boil over.
Organise with local resistance. Get serious.
