Don't put words in their mouth. Your reaction is off putting and killing your own cause. That's why people don't want to join you guys.
You’re wrong. People do want to join, that’s why the rally was so large.
If his comment is the reason why YOU don’t want to join the cause, your argument is in bad faith.
Your posts don't say anything, they are emotional and reactionary. Not strategic to the cause you claim to fight for. That's not said to be an insult.
Rallying support and showing people who are hurting that they are not alone isn't emotional or reactionary. If that's not your idea of helping, then do your own thing and don't tear down people who are trying. Shitting on anyone trying to help is worse than doing nothing.
I always forget that when the crowds are this large it does kind of help people understand folks are on their side, even if they are not engaged in politics and just read the headlines like us folks on lemmy who argue about things before we read the article and then apologize later…
People need to see that the left isn't their enemy, which is what corporate media has been pushing for almost a century. The more people see that taking care of each other is the point of government, the sooner we build a world that helps everyone.
I think you misunderstood this conversation I'm talking about your response to ops post not the subject matter.
Well, I’m not talking about the subject matter or the ops post, either. This is random that both of us would be doing this at the same time on the same day in the exact same post.
Hello fellow troll
Yes. I respond to news articles and the comments in the posts to engage with the content. I don’t post a lot, I mainly comment. I do use learned knowledge, intuition, lived experience, gut feelings, emotion to get the general feeling of how an event or idea affects me personally as well as those I care about, but that’s involves compassion and empathy. I have many flaws though, yes even bias.
Good observation, but that’s already obvious.
Fun fact: your posts don’t say anything either.
