You seem to think walking away from the systems of power weakens them. In your desperation to not be part of the problem, you refuse to be part of a solution. I can’t blame you, it’s a rather bleak situation. But I see more suffering in the world where people give up the struggle out of hopelessness than the one where people keep fighting.
You seem to consider acknowledging that fewer people will suffer with one option than with the other as “standing with” that option. It’s not about poc, queer trans and LGBT liberals taking some kind of deal with the devil; marginalized peoples are far more likely to already have disengaged politically. It’s the fact that under one regime, more of societies burdens will be borne by those who least have the ability to bear them. If a system is to be resisted and revolted against, why sit back and let the system be as cruel as possible to those who least deserve it?
Powers that the Biden administration will do nothing with are powers that a Trump administration will do evil with.
Pretending that a federal government run by christofascists and one run by liberals has no material difference for the lives of trans, LGBT and marginalized peoples more broadly is just silly.
You can argue that one will eventually lead to the other anyway, or that rejection of the already existing elements of liberal fascism is worth sacrificing the short term material comfort to those groups, but not even acknowledging that sacrifice is callous ignorance at best.
To be fair, they probably meant “this year, you reached 915 days with us”
What do you mean by “protected under the law”? And what constitutes disruptive protest?
I would LOVE this. Especially if the war of the ring or other plot was on-going and you could participate as you pleased, potentially shifting the balance one way or the other. The idea of an open world RPG where the world exists and evolves with or without you is my dream. Mount and Blade is almost that, but for being too army/strategy/overworld focused, and the lord of the rings mod for warband had me hooked for a long time before the limitations got to me
That’s all fair, but framing the sequence of events as entirely unilateral action by the AfD is just as slanted as the article, and we’re better than that.
Probably a key piece of context is that they were invited
