the_elder@midwest.socialto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Wikipedia page "List of protests and demonstrations in the United States by size" says the Hands off protests were the third largest protest in US historyEnglish21·21 days agoAllowing perfect to be the enemy of progress is how we got 47 in office again. Every. Single. Nation state. Commits war crimes. All of them. You (and a shit ton of other puritans) need to manage your risk model better. We need to do what we can in the face of injustice and electing warmongering Republicans into office ain’t that. We can’t negotiate with them. We would have been able to negotiate with a Harris administration.

the_elder@midwest.socialto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Wikipedia page "List of protests and demonstrations in the United States by size" says the Hands off protests were the third largest protest in US historyEnglish181·22 days agoAlright, guess we should pack it in. Failed the purity test. Can’t make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we’ll find a pure enough movement.
(I didn’t see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it’s ANTI those things, means they’re pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)

the_elder@midwest.socialto Vegan@slrpnk.net•Animal Ag Is The Leading Cause Of Climate Change, Finds StudyEnglish36·2 months agoYeah none of the studies linked put animal ag over 17% of global emissions, while it provides the majority of protein to the global populace. Sanctioning the biggest polluters (e.g. big oil, chemical companies, etc) would be a far more effective means of reducing global pollution. That’s not to say we can’t reduce our consumption of animal protein - we absolutely should, IMO - but calling 17% tops the leading cause is a spurious argument.
Vandalism is an age old rite of protest against fascism. If you don’t want to get your shit vandalized maybe don’t buy shit from fascists.
Making someone a pariah for supporting a fascist - knowingly or unknowingly - only helps to erode the support of the fascist.
If they don’t know what’s going on, when they get their car vandalized they’re going to ask why, then find out why, then sell it, if they have any moral compass.
Their stuff isn’t damaged and can be easily fixed with a minor inconvenience. They’re not being summarily executed. Calm down and let the people work.

I sure as fuck didn’t. And I’m not going to sit idly by while we slip into fascism, either.
