Plenty of lunatics on Reddit though too.

I didn't see any interceptions. Just flak going off hitting nothing but air.

It's like sex on a boat: fucking close to water.

I'm an antinatalist. It's a different mindset, and it's focused on "not losing," i.e. by not playing the game at all. This is in contrast to the more common mindset of focusing on "playing to win." In the fight-or-flight paradigm, it is choosing flight. I'd be curious to know what personality traits other antinatalists have, include their fear response.

These futureless left, whether consciously or not, are going on a birthstrike. This is a combination of a protest but also opting out of the future if things don't change for the better.

You may disagree and/or dislike it, but that's my take on what it is about.

Just because you don't have hope doesn't mean that you won't try to make some measure of difference. You can still play the hand you've been dealt, and making the outcome slightly less bad is still something to put effort into.

Yeah, their response was unnecessarily caustic. Your reply was reasonable and I understood the intention of the original comment from the quotation marks.

Yes please! I can't stand either regime.

I'll very gladly pay my $0.02 share to help domestic abuse survivors and their pets.

rather “what strategy is most likely to win”.

Financial.

The government deals in violence and knows how to handle groups of protestors, whether they originate as peaceful or violent. Don’t play to their strengths by engaging them on that level and giving them a confrontation that they can escalate.

Non-participation, boycotts, malicious compliance, quiet quitting, anticonsumption, and birthstriking are more my style. It’s not glamorous or quick, but governments are notoriously inept at dealing with situations that they can’t just beat or shoot at. They don’t know what to do when a hammer is an ineffective tool for the job.
