Being a whistle-blower must be depressing, always killing themselves like this. /s

Aaron Bushnell, hero and role model

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I’d like to know why anyone would downvote this. Do you support genocide?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

How so? I’m expressing my respect and gratitude in the best way I know how.

This is tiresome and pointless pearl clutching.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I fully agree. I have mad respect for him, which is why I expressed my admiration and support.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It takes courage and convictions to do this kind of protest. There’s no need to reduce it to just a suicide. It was a courageous and highly honorable act. I’ve got nothing but respect.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Aaron Bushnell is a fucking role model

I wish I had half the courage it took

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Pretty tacky to explain to a person who made such a huge impact what he should have done

Also uncivil to call me a d*mbass for respecting this man. Reported.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Bullshit. You are insulting everyone who’s had a legitimate reason to commit suicide and their loved ones by proxy. Get this puritanical nonsense out of here. I’ve known multiple people who’ve committed suicide, and while it hurts to lose them, they’ve all had valid reasons, and it’s really tasteless for me to dismiss that or guilt trip people who want to check out.

And in this case, it’s objectively one of the most selfless acts imaginable.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It was a protest against our nation’s complicity in genocide. This was objectively one of the most selfless acts and meaningful sacrifices imaginable. I have nothing but the utmost respect.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

A role model is someone you want people to imitate

Yes

Sacrifices like this should always be super rare. If he’s inspiring others to action, then it should be mass protests (at least), not more immolations.

Imagine gatekeeping protests.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I’d never presume to be so haughty as to prescribe to another person a form of protest, nor to disparage a meaningful and impactful act like this.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

We’ve failed him, we’ve failed the Palestinians, we’ve failed our immigrants and refugees, we’ve failed our LGBTQ+ people and people of color, we’ve failed our poor. The story of America is a story of one failure after another.

And I say “America” even though this is world news, because he was American.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Because I am not going to disrespect a deep and meaningful selfless act like his. I’m not so disrespectful

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It was about creating an in-group and implementing a caste system under the deceptive guise of democracy. What it’s never actually been is democratic or free.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yes, I do. I think we should be like him and stand up for what is right. 100% correct.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

So if the author’s opinion is correct, then that would not be a good outcome. Do you think they’re wrong?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Palestine is not at all comparable to Russia or China. Looks like this video has zero cred.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I think about this every time some centrist claims that no leftist system has ever worked.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I don’t think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Oof I feel concerned about those people.

I guess it’s similar to “an” caps.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It would be funny if there weren’t people suffering and dying because of it

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Where are you getting that idea? I voted for this disgusting “person” in 2020, didn’t I? And he immediately let me down.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

So your answer is: Yes, you would support a genocide if 70% of the population supported it.

I know enough not to try talking any sense into you. I’ve seen that you’re nothing but a conservative status quo warrior. But I’m thankful anyone who sees this thread will be clear on what you are.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

You think that’s funny. Yikes.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Precisely

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Lol your comment got removed 🤣

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Why are you defending ICE and the fascist border policy?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

You’re using the history of an appalling state founded on racism with a history of genocide that made the Nazis shudder?

Maybe don’t use US history as an example of what we should look up to. It’s a cautionary tale.

And we don’t need to decide between freedom and LGBTQ+ rights. Any valid system would protect these things in spite of what 70% of people might be deceived into believing

This is a personal attack based on a deliberate misrepresentation of what I said. Prime example of uncivil behavior

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

What about the current fascist dictator?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I do believe in democracy. A democracy is not “vote for this terrible person who’s less terrible than the other terrible person.”

Anarchist communities have democracy, we don’t

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

fix the stupidity that has been going on with asylum rules

So you don’t support open borders?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I know this may blow your mind, but some of us want to advance past this fourth grade

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Same botlike regurgitated lines. So tired and timeworn…

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

You know it’s not, and anyone can see for themselves

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Do you support open borders? If so, what’s the most effective way to make that happen, considering the many innocent people who are imprisoned, raped, and tortured?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It is if a large proportion of the voters believe in terrible positions

And you’re just fine with that, so the answer to my question was “yes”

And that’s… not how anarchy works. People are only excluded if they are doing something really egregiously antithetical to anarchism – for example, attempting to introduce hierarchical structures or otherwise treat others inequitably.

Read the table of contents to find the relevant section. I understand not comprehending anarchism because anarchists too have been historically oppressed and our ideas muddied.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

You don’t know the least thing about anarchism. Please read.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

So I should vote for someone who’s actively causing harm and whose supporters see this as acceptable (at least 70% according to that Pug person)? That’s the best our system can do? What a fucked up system

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

What?

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Biden supporters are

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

What are you going to do? What realistic option do you see right now that will lead to less Hiter?

Exactly my point! Fuck this system. We have no good choice.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

And then he continues to imprison and deporting innocent people, and whenever I complain about that, a chorus of right-wing liberals like that Pug person silence me by accusing me of supporting Trump? Do you know I have friends and family who’ve been harmed by this? Do you think they care who put them there? Whoever is making that happen is a fascist, and I should be allowed to call them such. I was assured (lied to) that Democrats are the good ones, and that they’re not as cultlike as MAGA. Look at the replies I have. This is not the case.

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Case in point…

Right-wing liberals: We’re not as cultlike as MAGA!

Also right-wing liberals: Oh, you’re upset Biden is imprisoning, torturing, and deporting innocent people? Well too bad, you dense motherfucker! LALALALALALALALA

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

What makes you think I’m not involved? Every time I say something, people tell me to do things I’m already doing! I’m on local committees, I meet with my city council rep, I’ve even considered running myself, except my work schedule is too unconventional.

Go find your nearest anarchist group and join them

I live in South Dakota, but I get the sentiment. Closest thing I have are my husband and my friends on Discord.

contribute to small scale local issues and convert people to a better way

This is my entire line of work and my personal thing. 100% do this. I can always do better, but again, what leads you to believe I’m not? I am, and I STILL think we should demand more from our president. I thought if we voted for him, that we were allowed to complain about him. Why not? Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t demand of a sitting president that he open the border?

you’re also going to have to suck it up and realise fascist Biden is damage mitigation from an even more harmful fascist Trump

OK, and if this is the case, then I will, but no one is going to convince me to vote for this colossal waste of human potential by shitting on me every time I get upset by one of the many horrible and atrocious acts he commits. If we’re not going to work together to demand more of him, then why even vote at all? Things just keep getting worse, no matter who is president. Sure, they throw a few bleached bones to certain groups of people every now and then to maintain some popularity, but they keep doing horrible, horrible things to other groups of people, such as Palestinians, Latin-American immigrants, and even our own poor and homeless. I’m thankful I was able to marry my husband, but that doesn’t make it ok to do what he is doing.
