I get what you are saying. However this isn’t the core of the issue, the issue is that people seem to just not have any semblance of critical thinking anymore, they either never had it to begin with or they gave up.

At the very least these people that you mention are aware that they are full on racists, fascists etc. The people I deal with don’t even admit it, they just cower, hide and deny.

Both pairs of my grandparents lived under socialism, all 4 of them were in support of communism, primarily because of their children and grand children. They knew what the modern world looked like and hates it just as much as we do. You don’t get that kind of empathy from conservative grand parents tbh.

Thanks for this, been looking for a replacement for Jerboa.

Oh and just to add, the absolute worse are administration staff not even the medical staff, those people are next level incompetent, rude, lack any empathy or respect.

I don’t hate doctors/nurses/medical staff in general because I have seen extreme competence in the field, just like with any profession there are fuck ups worthy of gulags.

I’ve had family members being told they have 6 months to live because they have a cyst on their kidney and then through other means found out that it’s just a kidney stone. To the reverse where they were going to public doctors for months because of leg pain and as soon as they pay a premium at a private clinic do they get a stage 4 bone cancer diagnosis. It’s insane, truly insane. The fact that people’s wellbeing is being exploited and ruined for profit.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this right now. You truly aren’t alone, the system has completely let people down in most countries.

As others have said get organized, join or create a party.

Have you heard of troubadours spreading the language of love across Europe? Well they originated in Occitania and the language in question was Occitan. Yet it’s common to hear, at least in France, that really they were French and that the language they spoke was just an old French and therefore the language of love is French.

I actually remember this from school, didn’t know they were Occitan and didn’t speak French, thanks for the education!

Doing that on the daily yeah, it’s just hard to avoid the anxiety currently since there are real material changes happening all around me because of what is happening.

The last two are my favourite from this list, the cranes and trees on the last one are lovely

I like the internationalism in this one

Setting this as my profile banner as we speak.

Thanks comrade I appreciate those words <3 Woke up with insane wisdom tooth pain, need to get my car fixed while maintaining sanity.

Mostly been bouldering these past few days and doing chores. Weather is finally starting to pick up so can’t wait to start riding the bike again. Depression is ever present regardless, but hanging in there.

There was a post saying that lemmy was moving to a new image provider so some images might get broken.
