The shooting happened after the Department of Homeland Security sent more than 2,000 ICE agents to the Twin Cities in the "largest DHS operation ever."
Is it defeatist to accurately asses the situation of those with power?
Like sure it should be “no one in a position of government is going to do anything to push back or defend the peasants” but thats wordy and the peasants will occasionally shoot people but they just get stomped on harder and used as an excuse to feed us less and shoot us more often.
It is just wordy.
I generally prefer it over “trolling” although in this case it might be more appropriate. What I mean is spreading negative sentiment with the goal of subverting something.
Spreading defeatism is enabling the oppression that you, correctly, describe as an objective reality
Should have gone with trolling. It think internet wise it really means to trigger a response from others and they did accomplish that.
As I have said elsewhere, I’m not above a good wail now and again and won’t fault others for crying out. Crying doesnt enable an abuser. They abuse whether or not you do. Its what you do after you cried it out that matters.
It does man. Making angry comments on twitter or instagram or whatever is pointless at best and feeding the machine at worst, but random, internet-based, direct human-to-human communication is valuable and beautiful and powerful.
If you’re someone who is thousands of kilometers away from the US but has their shitty late stage capitalist fingers in every corner of their life, what else can you do? I try to wield this weapon with love and hope you can find a better future, not hate because “you’re bad”. Your government is bad, it’s fucking shit. You’re just a person trying to do its human thing. I’ll take the “russian bot!!1!” accusations and try to explain that what makes me a dirty radical extremist leftist is that I just want you and everyone else to be happy, and do the human thing the way you like.
(I’m using the second person but none of this is directed at you OP. Just to Americans reading this)
Unless and until you fail to stop the ghouls you have for a government from starting shit in Europe, the greatest influence I can have is talking to you. But stating “no one has a plan” is just objectively false. And in any case, you don’t even really need one. It’s ok to just try to make things right, step by step.

No, that’s just astroturfing
I dont think you know the definition of astroturfing.

Sure typing on Lemmy makes a world of difference. Thank you for your service.

Can you sing a song with your plan of action, or are you going to continue to post meaningless comments online about how mad you are?
Are you out on a mission to say “Look, no one has a plan, see?” ?
Yes. No one has a plan. We’re fucked. You are fucked. What are you going to do?
