Why is there not a general strike called for that state. Allow the groups to be on the streets peacefully full time and remove the fear and hysterical actions.

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

For any strike or boycott to be truly effective it needs to be maintained until the other side comes to some kind of agreement. A single day or two isn't going to do much, and most of the population can't afford to miss anymore work than that AND they are not socially connected to each other enough to be able to rely on one another for support and services while they are effectively locked out of the support and services they would receive from being able to pay for things and buy things.

For a lot of people the two general avenue of choices are resist now and potentially lose everything now, or do nothing now and potentially lose everything later.

I'm not necessarily justifying their actions, but it's understandable.

Weak little fucking cowards hiding behind the state to feel empowered for their gold stars. Little rat class traitors like that deserve open hostility every second of their lives.

That last Nazi collaborator . . . I am not an angry or violent person, but oh boy I cannot be held responsible for how I might react.

"one of my girlfriends" casual flex.

As hetero women we will often refer to friends who are girls as girlfriends. You could be right, but the 7 here is what I just described.

English is weird with that. Other languages have a separate word for friend and for partner

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

English doesn't even have a word for person who you are engaged to be married to. Luckily French had two, so they shared.
