Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

You'll find that many of those people still have a family to feed.
I see that you're still doing something useful though, whining on the Internet. So good on you.
Have you done any organizing for activist events? Because that would be useful.
Every revolutionary in history had a family to feed.
Your national heroes weren’t Disney characters. Wake the fuck up and do something.
A family that may not exist once the Nazis have carte blanche. Do you think resistance movements in other countries don't also have families to feed? They still manage multi day resistance. If you go home after one day then you achieve nothing. I know there's a huge wealth gap in America but there's still huge swathes of suburbia who can survive without income for a while. Despite what you've been led to believe there's more to life than generating money. Stand up for it.
Believe it or not, I have. Nothing to do with No Kings though, because if you look at my server name I'm across the pond and have other problems to deal with.
That word "may" is the weak point of the argument. In contrast, a family will not exist if they don't eat.
The fact is money is like oxygen it's how we sustain our lives. You may be familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, basic needs (the kind that money provides) are at the very base of the pyramid, the most important level. This Nazi takeover falls under the very next category, "safety and security" and it also effects some other tiers up top as well. So to be clear, I'm recognizing the importance of this issue, it's extremely important without a doubt. But the basic needs are still the basic needs.
With that in mind, I absolutely defend and support the strategy of participating in activism on the weekend and then going back to work on Monday. That is nothing but rational.
This is just naive. Building something important takes time. You know that expression, Rome wasn't built in a day? Well that's barely even a metaphor here; if you want to build a new United States, a more functional, less corrupt US without all the fascism and corporate control, well that takes time. And again, in that time it takes to make those changes, you need to continue living, continue filling those basic needs.
I went to the no kings protest and honestly I think it was quite successful. It was a show of force, a demonstration of pure numbers. It was a good step, and more will be achieved.
Hah. Yeah, I'm certain of it. It's pretty clear.
I’ve never seen so many words say literally nothing.
And blocked... What a douche.
Words have meaning if you have the capability to read
