Yeah how? What went wrong there? If you know what went wrong there we could figure out a solution. And that is my WHOLE problem with progressives. Lots of criticism, lots of blame, no strategy, NO PLANS. I might actually like progressive plans, if someone would just tell me what they are!

No one cares if you like them or not. They’re discussing the systemic generational pillaging of the wealthiest nation in the world by its ruling class, private prison industries successfully lobbying both major parties to maintain obscene populations. You are the problem if you can’t find solutions

So you still don’t have a plan that you can tell us about. Just more empty criticism.

Repeatedly refusing to listen to all criticism of 30s Germany because the critics refused to provide a plan I considered viable and liked

You want us all to just wake up and “resist fascism”? That doesn’t mean anything. I guess we could “burn it all down” and sit in the ashes…

If only history wasn’t full with examples of effective and ineffective ways of dealing with abuse of power and abuse of citizens by the ruling class

How are we supposed to create a unified resistance to fascism if we don’t even know what we’re supposed to be doing?

There’s no such thing as a ‘unified resistance to fascism’

Yeah so I guess I hallucinated the Allied forces in WW2. Unified resistance to fascism is the only thing that works. Over and over again history has demonstrated this. protectdemocracy.org/work/poland-...

And lmao off at a neoliberal polish political wing victory, as they head down the exact same economic path the rest of eu is following the American model. As effective a barrier to fascism as any Democratic Party win has been in the past 50 years (read- not one)

You definitely hallucinated that as a ‘unified resistance against fascism’ yes, lmao. You’ve been watching too many rewritten historical dramas

You think criticism must provide a solution to be valid? That’s silly shit.

Piri there are a million ideas and plans and thoughts. I don’t personally, no, have a plan for overthrowing the globally military superpower. Also clearly there’s an economic stranglehold on your democracy by the ruling party class which freezes the political viability of any idea they don’t support

Ok can you tell me who does have the plan? I haven’t seen any, and I’d like to. I’m not interested in your criticisms if you don’t have a realistic alternative.

What do you mean by ‘plan’ like there’s so much context needed. What do you mean by realistic. Are you, the person who self admittedly explicitly can’t think of anything not brought directly to you, the arbiter of what is realistic?

If you want to get anything done under any political system, you need popular support. I keep asking progressives why I should vote for them and nobody ever gives me a reason why. Just endless empty criticism. There isn’t a plan, a goal, a strategy. Why is this hard to understand?

If all you do is point out how other people are doing things wrong, you aren’t fixing anything. It’s only half the process. First identify the problem, second, figure out alternatives, third, follow through… I’m not voting for progressives until I hear a strategy I can believe in.

A bipartisan congress consistently outperforming the best investment brokers on Wall Street, but Piri needs convincing not to vote for corruption.

I need something to vote FOR not vote AGAINST. Now, why are you having a hard time coming up with that? Do you want change or do you just want to criticize the status quo endlessly.

Piri your country is being raped and pillaged for generations while you insist on voting for the class of people until convinced on Bluesky otherwise. What a hero

Piti not once have you been suggested that the solution is for you to vote. US imprisoning more of your citizens than anywhere else in the world while having a private prison industry, yet you need to be convinced by randomner on social media to not vote to maintain that evil.

So what, you want me to go to war? Kill my neighbors?

You’re being asked not to vote for evil Piri. You seem to not be able to accept that framework without further instructions. Strange.
