    You’re stating something that people directly affected already know on a ‘waking up anxious about it’ basis. This may be interpreted as ‘failure to read the room’, ‘ignorance of history on the topic,’ or possibly ‘failure to identify on a human level in the face of minor differences.’ – all treatable, but unhelpful to people who are actively discusssing survival of self or preservation of self expression as a genaral liberty.

    tl;dr – you sound like an ignorant or selfish jerk, or a 13 yo who hasn’t had a thought of their own yet. Critical thinking and listening more are usually the cure #recoveredassholesanonymous

    also, for Us: running helps least on a social outcome level – better to use temporary evasion tactics and stay close or return to areas familiar enough to play gorilla tag. Duck and run, but also Hold the line.

      Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting “WhY ARen’t YOu FIGhtinG bAck?” Whenever someone expresses fear about what’s been happening. Oh I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.

      My wife’s disabled, we’ve got multiple autistic kids, my health isn’t the greatest, I’m trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they’re certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we’ll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I’m not sure how much even that’s going to protect us anymore.

        Myeah… That sounds like something I’d get angry enough to strike over rather than to put my head down and “survive through it”, but that might be easier for me to say living not in the US.

          Yes, the person with an income who is one of the minorities on Musk’s hit list should totally put themselves at risk of being killed in a protest by trump’s police goons when they have a disabled spouse and autistic kids to care for.

          Why don’t you shut up and go protest FOR those who can’t?
