I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.
That’s naive but completely supports my argument anyway, so thanks.
Except it doesn’t.
You can enact change with no protest and use of force.

Remove protest and refocus elsewhere.
Martin Luther King Jr disagrees with you, and has proved you wrong.
Gandhi disagrees with you, and has proved you wrong.
women as a gender, disagree and has proved you wrong.
they’ve all proved you wrong in the past, and they’re all going to prove you wrong again.
you are nervous, and that’s your right, but you are also wrong.
Wait, you think MLK Jr talked America into making change and not the Black Panthers, Malcom X, or “Ghetto Riots”.
And you think it was Gandhi and not nearly a century of armed resistance?
These people represent the most palatable for the status quo. It’s propaganda to teach your citizens that waiting nicely and asking is the solution to not having basic human rights.
“Wait, you think MLK Jr talked America into making change and not the Black Panthers, Malcom X…”
no but go ahead and try to prove that theory.
should be funny.
“And you think it was Gandhi and not nearly a century of armed resistance?”
this is a way sillier take, but you should try and prove it also, one way or the other.
“It’s propaganda to teach your citizens that waiting nicely and asking is the solution to not having basic human rights.”
You’re mistaking propaganda for your own anxiety.
protesting in the streets against your government is a brave political action.
your contention that sticking your head in the sand is the only thing to do is cowardly brainwashing that you don’t realize you are a victim of.
My contention is the only thing to do is to openly engage in violence. Sticking in one’s head in the sand is what protestors are doing.
you are factually and historically incorrect.
protests have always worked in Democratic societies, and they’re going to continue to work.
you are sticking your head in the sand.
The protesters, and those before them, are fighting for the rights you don’t deserve and are enjoying nonetheless.
