Bullets are leftist! /s

I'm the opposite. Any time I hear the 'Caroline' I get aliitle frustrated.

'Home Alabama' forever and always.

If you have a solidarity network in your city, join it and help them however you are able.

If you don't have a solidarity network where you are, consider attempting to form one.

The reason this kind of thing can happen unchallenged is because landlords know they can drag legal battles out in court with no other repercussions for a long time. Don't let them think that. Get involved, get organized.

Had a period of mental breakdown where I concluded that there was something either psychologically wrong or ideologically wrong with myself. Started questioning most of my thoughts and what I could trust. Slowly built out political views I felt aligned with my core values.

A trust of friends and chosen family were the foundation. That built out into being politically anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist. Gradually turned into believing Marx's proposed issues with capitalist society and some of Foucault's teachings about resisting authority (not so much their other stuff).

I eventually became closer friends with a punk and have gotten to hear of anarchism throughout history and the current anarchist influences in various other movements.

My views of anarchism are still mostly vague. I'm still focusing more on becoming a more functional person and growing the communities I'm apart of, so more thorough research and understanding takes a backseat for now.

Bruh drafting up the evac plans is gonna be a nightmare. And you best memorize your floor's plan or you're gonna be running a maze for your life.

It's gonna turn out this whole fucking thing's just a bunch of open floor plans with my luck.

What a pretty old senior pup! look at those eyes, they're like caramel drops.

I think it's to have the conversation with those close to us that felt offended in a measured, methodical fashion. I find that it often seems completely foreign for some of the guys I've talked to put themselves into someone else's shoes.

It is a slog quite often, and I think that there is some kind of training out there for having these kinds of conversations.

As always, it's about talking to these people without getting them offended. I agree with other leftists that it's absolutely exhausting - it honestly feels like some of these dudes want nothing but to feel like the victim of the situation sometimes. I still try and talk them through it when I can.

Brain was turned off - I thought this was showing how copper from different countries had slightly different colors.

It doesn't really matter if you scare someone you don't know. They don't know you either. Ultimately it's reasonable to be uncomfortable around strangers.

If you still scare people even after interacting with them, don't take it personally. Lots of people have biases and past traumatic experiences that might paint you any which way.

Just focus on being kind and liked by the communities you're in, and don't take a defeatist mentality over someone being scared of you at first.

Seeing all these comments that actually get it gives me hope for us dudes. I interact with so many dudebro types at work, and only have so much energy. And then coming onto Lemmy and seeing the same shit - it gets demoralizing real quick.

We gotta get dudes out of their own heads somehow - make them actually think about how they're affecting those around them, and get them to expand the number of ways they positively affect their local sphere and minimize the negative ways.

I don't quite know if I understand your comment.

By 'this' do you mean the meme, the response to the meme, or do you mean the number of SA cases done by men?

Are you drawing parallels to cities calling upon minority communities to police themselves and report suspicious behavior to try and 'solve gang violence'?
