Well that, and fear-mongering and lying on the other side of the aisle.

Decent Americans, for the love of country, please don’t let fascism grab you

But i don’t get why none of those showed up in any feeds if they exist. I am very far left of centre (by american standards) you’d think some of the people i follow would share - or non-us media would.

But this is not that thread.

This is the thank-you-thread :)

My feelings in all this:

Why are Americans not protesting. Are they stupid?

Then

Okay, at least some are really not cool with this.

Then

Oh wait, those Americans not being cool with this must feel really damn bad.

So here’s one European saying thank you for your protests. You are not alone.

In that case, you’ve re-earned my respect (some of you).

I get you’re economically shackled already, but I just don’t believe the ‘too big/diverse to strike’-argument.

It just needs to start somewhere. And it probably evetually will now your president really fucked us all over.

I wouldn’t not protest to save the economy now, since that is out the window.

I don’t know if occupy accomplished anything, but the George Floyd protests were massive.

Americans can protest. I just don’t get the late stage capitalism stockholm syndrome.

I’m not asking for all of you. Just the ones that doesn’t want this to happen.

Will do.

But could you all please like do a general strike, or lock down cities by protesting this shit?

Sure but counting on this as a forever state of the US is … risky.

This is wild. Russia claims to feel threatened by Nato and then attacks Ukraine. But Americans in Greenland is not a threat to them?

This is all bollocks.

If you can’t leave social media, then at least follow something that bores you today. It will make you less addicted and their data less valuable.

I could totally see the US blaming europeans not Russians, if this was proven a GRU operation.

This would be wild if it was done by russian agents to stir tensions between us and EU.

It probably isn’t. But damn.

This is a horrible idea.

Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, I’m just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.

Couldn’t they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click ‘advanced’.

Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?

Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.

I still don’t really understand but i am in 🤷‍♂️

New guy here. Signikg up was a bitch but glad to be here :)
