that’s a complicated answer.

practical answer: yes

idealistic answer: no

EDIT: i think the most important answer for right now is that it doesn’t matter. this situation will not be resolved through voting. the mid terms might help alleviate the problem, but that’s a long time from now and things could get a lot worse if people don’t pull their heads out of their asses now.

you have to make leftists understand that the only answer is violence. we have to say this over and over until it finally clicks. the people are the last line of defense.

1. form community alliances
2. establish encrypted communications
3. buy guns and train

my point is that most of you seem very naive. it’s like your minds are mired in the way it should be instead of what has to be done to make it the way you want it to be.

cool. you got your breaking point. my breaking point was years ago. catch up.

sure. whatever. fuck google. i’m definitely not here to defend google.

it’s beginning to look like there is no helping you people though. it’s like you all just got here and you’re trying to convince the oldest grognard how bad things are. like, motherfucker, i’ve been here since 9/11.

oh, i can hear the violins playing now.

of course you made this into something about trans people when it will likely be anyone who opposes them. ya’ll are gonna get slaughtered. wise up.

good.

and if you’re implying that i’m the problem, then by all means, come and get me. i’d love to give you a lesson in getting shit done.

ooo. somebody’s looking to score some upvotes for their virtue signaling.

well, i’ll tell ya what boss… how about you get out there and start killing nazi’s then. otherwise you are one (by your own reasoning)

i’m not defending them. i’m just trying to temper your expectations. there’s a lot of uproar of pikachu shocked face stuff. it’s all symptoms of the illness. you will be slapping band aids on shit forever if you don’t attack the root cause of the illness.

sometimes i think you all just want stuff to be outraged over. maybe you just like to post about it and get upvotes. maybe you just want to be part of an in-group.

does that assumption bother you? because it bothers me that you think i’m pro-capitalism just because i won’t join in on your circle jerk.

look, if you’re a soulless corporation just trying to deliver profits to shareholders, this is 100% the right move.

the problem is not refusing to go along with some meaningless gesture based in ignorant nationalism. the problem is that we live in capitalism, where the right move is always the one that delivers profits. decisions lacking humanity are always going to get made. focusing on this nothingburger just distracts from the bigger picture.

if you want results, destroy capitalism.

look, fuck google for many reasons, but not this. this is just keeping your head down and trying to survive the shit storm.
