Ngl, i'm just going to assume you are a neo-lib who is going to back away from those other symbols as soon as you see a homeless person just walking down the street. As an ND Queer who grew up in OK and now lives in a liberal area, it's all the same shit. I've seen plenty of American flags being waved next to pride flags and shit but these same people will call the cops cause someone looks "fishy" in their neighborhood (and the fishy is being Black, but hey why do any introspective about your role in the racist system). I've never seen anyone who flies the American flag that didn't come from someplace of privilege that will say "BLM!" or "Love is Love!" and then turn around and say "Maybe some conservatives have a point" or whatever.

Just letting you know, if you fly an American flag regardless of whatever else, a lot of different marginalized people are going to side-eye you and not trust you. You can't "take back" something that is embedded in the very fabric of the creation of this country (hate, bigotry, fascism) without societal changes to the basic foundations of this country.

This implies that I consider the Republicans any short of type of legitimate. The only thing I care to do with the nazi party is to treat them as nazi's should be treated. While the younger generation would probably agree with me, we are not quite where we need to be with that. So if i'm talking about anything in regards to handling politics in any way that isn't a riot, i'm going to be referring to Democrats...who the vast majority are also not legitimate but many people are not ready to hear that yet, so I offer the suggestion I have at the time. I do agree with you mostly. I would greatly like to burn it all to the ground and build something better, but until the people are there, i'm going to suggest things that might work in our current climate while suggesting people organize and work on opening people's understanding on the fact that our institutions only exist to serve the ruling class. Let's just say I wait for the day that we can have cocktails at these people's houses.

We need a whole host of public transit options that are best suited for each circumstance of a given area. I want public transit so smooth that even if you tried getting lost you end up where you wanted to go with no clue on how it happened. (last bit is an over exaggeration since i don't know how feasible that actually is lol)

Np! And I'm going to say something controversial to my fellow vegetarians and vegans. Giving up meat can be very very hard depending on your personal circumstances. I grew up 30 minutes away from any groceries in cow country. I'm also autistic with mild food issues. It's taken me a long time, work, and circumstances changes (i live in a nice vegetarian friendly city now) to get where i am now. I think the "do or you are a utter failure" that is rampant in anti meat spheres is honestly to its harm. Instead of encouraging everyone to do their best while we fight for better systematic changes, there is scorn and fingerwagging if someone isn't perfect.

as my friend says "Despair is a commodity, don't buy into it"

[-] Athena5898@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, exactly what i was getting at

Um...i don't know what i said made you think i was a fossil fuel person. I agree completely. But we are going to need to help the corals that have died off and are struggling even if we stop all fossil fuels today. That is what i was getting at. I guess cause of other assholes, i can see why you'd assume that im a "just out techno climate change", but I'm not.

[-] Athena5898@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Actually i could use this lol

[-] Athena5898@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago
