community alliances. food stamps. being resourceful.

i think we've covered how a revolution would work prior to this. surely i'm not the first person to mention community alliances.

you can work towards grinding your life away without meaning or you can work towards something that gives your life meaning. it's work either way.

I'm pretty sure relying on food stamps and soup kitchens is not a revolution.

And if you've ever had to survive that way, you'd know it's fucking horrible. Especially if you have kids.

So I guess keep wishing because people don't want to have to resort to that.

Yea I agree with squid that we should not consider the soup kitchen the place of liberation.

I would say as a guy who has dressed in colorful formal attire when I worked in corporate jobs that you don't get punished. This meme is like when conservatives say "you can't say anything anymore". Obviously you can, and frankly most of the backlash is made up.

Especially if you have kids.

Exactly, I'm fine with being on edge, but its not right to force that on kids if you can help it.

MF i live on food stamps NOW and i help maintain food gardens NOW. fucking cowards.

i swear to god you're one of the worst people on lemmy.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm sorry, but you're not going to insult people into your revolution.

You're also going to have a very hard time convincing everyone to significantly lower their standard of living because they have no money.

don't care. never did. never will. i will die happy and fulfilled because i never bent a knee for a corrupt society.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

A few comments ago:

i wish all of you people would stop pandering to dumb shit and just tell the world to fuck off.

Now:

don’t care. never did. never will.

So which is it?

Says the same reason you can't go up and down at the same time.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, that is another good example. Something cannot be both an apple and an orange, much like you can't wish for something to happen but also don't care whether or not it happens.

sure thing poindexter. i'm sure you know my motivations and emotions better than i do.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It has nothing to do with your motivations and emotions, it has to do with the definition of the word 'wish':

"Feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable; want something that cannot or probably will not happen."

You can't want something and not want something at the same time.

Using a very pathetic insult from the 1980s on me repeatedly will not change the fact that you can't want and not want something at the same time. Sorry, you don't have reality-defying powers.

[-] mostdubious@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

insisting on a linguistic distinction of nuanced cognitive concepts doesn't make you look any more like a human than some online AI bot (which is how I'm going to view you from now on).

Sorry. I don't cast my pearls before swine, so just go figure it out and stop talking to me.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Ah, I get it now. You actually think you have the power to alter reality at your will. That does explain a lot.
