It’s amazing that so many people on Lemmy think so much about politics yet have such a poor understanding of how it actually works. I blame the education system. And memes like this one.
It’s amazing how much the left has bought into the same “everyone is trained to be a hero” cult of action shite that literal fascists peddle.
Just because brainrotted liberals peddle “NO VIOLENCE EVER FOR ANY REASON” doesn’t mean that the mirror fucking image is God’s honest truth, but trying to get online Very Serious Leftists to see this is an exercise in futility.
I think it comes from a lack of organization. People are rightly angry so they want to act but they have no idea what is helpful so they just turn to whatever feels right. Usually something seeded in their mind from TV or movies.
It’s because a lot of them haven’t taken that first step of getting out and taking action IRL. When you do it becomes obvious very quickly that peaceful protests and legal maneuvering are important parts of a larger resistance movement, and that they aren’t mutually exclusive with more direct action like obstruction, sabotage, and civil disobedience.

It’s so goddamn tiring.
