You must act as if your rights are natural laws of the universe, and if enough people do then they may as well be.

That's how we get to where we are now.

Rights dictated to you by the state are categorically not universal nor natural, they exist in service of the state and the capitalists who own it, and they can and are withdrawing them as they please.

The entire point of the post is that people who have more privilege need to stand the fuck up for those who have less, not try and find ways out of doing so.

Edit to clarify: giving the cops the pleasure of kicking down your door and arresting, or even shooting you for "resisting" isn't making their job harder, only yours.

The problem is not simply solved or even significantly so with a mere “don’t tell the pigs anything”

Nowhere is this being touted as a solution to the entire problem, this is advice on how to act in a specific situation, and again, a call on people to make that choice on where they stand, now, because now is the time, not once they're knocking on your door, then it's too late to start considering how to act (and if someone has already decided to, or hasn't but defaults to being a collaborator, they get lumped up with the fascists they enable).

Even if he had won, Biden wasn't holding back some fucking floodgate, fascism is already here, no matter how uncomfortable that makes liberals feel.

No one is implying, we're telling you outright.

You not wanting to face reality is a you problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're confusing "leftists" with "the system, by design".

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 months ago

You need to assess what’s best for everyone.

Here's a news flash: both republicans AND democrats want what's best for capitalists and capitalism.

Capitalism by default, requires the large scale oppression of people to function, and will always, again by default, decay in to fascism.

Pretending as if there is some sort of middle ground between them (the right), and leftists, who oppose both capitalism and the state that upholds it, demonstrates at best a complete misunderstanding of the concepts at hand, or at worst, an unflinching support of capitalism and all its ills, and with it the support for all of the oppression it creates to exist.

That middle ground means that capitalism is allowed but is regulated

Lmfao, here's a clue - capitalism IS regulated, and it's still decaying in to fascism, because that's what capitalism does.

Which is the perfect example of how centrism enables fascism - because you prioritise capitalism and its status quo along with the privileges they grant you, over the lives of the people it oppresses, marginalises, and literally kills to exist.

You are part of the problem, no matter how much faux logic you use to try and maintain your own cognitive dissonance.

Lmmfao, GTFOH, centrist aren't "oppressed" so you can fuck off with trying to compare them and their shitty choices in life to actual marginalised people who are actually oppressed for how they were fucking born

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Lmfao, in other words, your only knowledge of leftism is what centrist and fascists have told you, and you'll take their word without any hesitation or effort to educate yourself on reality, because this is so much easier and more convenient.

If you feel personally attacked by this, it's you.

Supporting trans rights, while still also supporting a government that oppresses trans people, is enabling that oppression.
