I wasn't aware that "we" were taking it lying down.

Who is doing anything about it? What have you done?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not buying American products. Supporting political candidates that support Ukraine (that's more relevant in other countries, in the UK support for Ukraine is pretty much universal even in the extreme right-wing parties, UK doesn't like Russia).

Presumably you want me to charge the Bastille though.

So you've boycutted Coca Cola, and vote how you would've anyway.

You are making my point for me.

You're right I should be a rude prick online that'll really help.

So what radical actions are you taking comrade sarcastic dick?

[–] WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

First one, and this one is very important: be violent towards Nazis. If someone in your near vicinity talks nazi trash, punch them in their fucking faces. We will not tolerate their bullshit in our streets.

Secondly, keep yourself informed, to help keeping other people informed. Not about what the Trump governments latest distractions are, but about stuff like special elections, where Democrats have a chance of taking Republican seats. They just flipped a historically unopposed conservative Senate seat to be democrat.

And third, campaign for progressives who are trying to unseat "moderate" democrats who vote with republicans in America. I might never even set foot in America myself, but the consequences worldwide if trump successfully turns America fascist are insane.

Good for you, but as I already said I'm not American, I'm not in America, so I can't vote in your elections and I can't talk to republican voters because there aren't any here. There are plenty of right-wing voters in the UK but they have completely different priorities to US Republicans, they're not equivalent.

So what else can I do being so remote?
