Protesters are pedaling through Portland’s streets wearing nothing or close to it to rally against the Trump administration.

    You see, if you came back and said. "Nope, I work with PSL or I’m working with DSA, or I’m working with <mutual aid> group ". Then id respect that.

    But you didn’t. You got defensive towards me assuming your inaction outside of hoping for an outcome in electoral politics. Couldn’t list one thing you’re actually doing outside of ranting on Lemmy.

    No one actively touching grass would be so offended by that. They’d point to the things they are helping with. It’s clear you’re not doing anything and it’s clear you’re trying to convince yourself more than me that that is the correct course of action.

      For your information I’ve suffered from a persistent sinus migraine headache for the past 12 years that limits my ability to engage as much as I would like. Even so, I’ve been out to protest ICE facilities seven times. I also donate what I can, even though I can’t hold down a job. I’d love to be involved in organizing and canvassing, but since I barely sleep I hardly have the temperament for either. And no, I don’t get out and touch grass very much, since the light and pollin make everything worse.

      Is that sufficient for you? Am I required to do more to earn your approval? Fuck you.

        So, maybe don’t talk about shit you’re not capable of experiencing? Idk. I didn’t give you chronic migraines mate. Sounds like we finally hit the soft spot to recognize you have no clue what you’re even talking about.

        Fuck me? Get in line.

          I’m sure it’s a long line. The fuck you wasn’t for the migraines, it was for your presumption. I haven’t heard you say shit about what you do or don’t do, and I didn’t ask because it’s irrelevant. You can’t argue your point, so you went for the ad hominem. I could be a complete shut in, or I could be out in the streets daily and it would have no impact on whether ICE has more bullets than the DSA.

            You’re making this all about yourself and this conversation is exhausting. If you want to know about what organizations I work with you can read my comment history.

              You made it about me. That’s what an ad hominem is. I don’t care what organizations you work with which is why I just said that. Yes, this conversation is exhausting.
