Well one suggestion would be to have some compassion for people living paycheck-to-paycheck and not expect such people to ruin their lives and, worse, their kids lives by doing things that are, at best, highly impractical and, at worse, could leave them destitute. And it’s not just you, you’re just part of a wider group saying things like people should be feeding their kids out of dumpsters if they really wanted to do something about Trump.
Another would be to suggest that rather than such people growing their own food and saving money they do not have to save, that they take part in collective action and protesting when they are able to do so, rather than on a specific, limited schedule that others who have far more freedom in their lives expect them to follow.
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
Cool. I’ve read what Dr. King has written. You still asked me for suggestions and ignored them. And the fact that you think Dr. King applies here when we are talking about mostly people of color suffering is ironic as fuck.
A .world mod who was so stressed about helping his queer daughter escape rising fascism he was suicidal now thinks he can dictate to people who weren’t able to escape and is unable to see how a relevant quote applies to him.
Please quote what I am dictating. I would like to see what I am dictating. Unless you’re lying, of course. I’m betting on the latter, but feel free to prove me wrong.
I’d also love to know what you think regularly trying to accuse me of being a coward achieves.
Like what you did trying to tell people, idk what you’re even trying to tell them, to not arm themselves and get on the train when it’s time? That armed resistant to Nazis is dumb?
It’s not an accusation if it’s apparent to everyone. I’m glad you could flee but frankly your risk is now minimized and your opinions on what people still here should do isn’t worth much.

A third would be to not tell people like the residents of the 13.5% of American households that were food insecure a couple of years ago that they just need to make do with less when there is no less.

Are you seriously calling out someone for having a moment of weakness because he was afraid for the safety of his family?
What the fuck is wrong with you?

You are an absolute BADASS for not letting this clown get to you.
🙏
Thank you.

Not one quote.
So you lied. Got it.
And if it is “apparent to everyone” that I am a coward, why keep pointing it out? Also, if that makes me a coward, why are you glad about it?
