  • I think there definitely are forms of protest that objectively just hurt any movement. A few people looting stores, setting random stuff on fire and most forms of violence will make the whole crowd appear violent and scare off the general public.

    I do not agree with this. The George Floyd Uprising / protests started violent and it still became massive and actually dangerous to the status quo.





  • its frustrating because there’s days where I want to say fuck it and go join the other side

    You and everyone here is aware how massive this privilege is? Being able to just “join” the nazis is something many people would not survive

    But to your main point: “the left” (imo us democrats are not part of that) is a space where people have to face expectations based on their identity. This problem is not exclusive to the hetero white cis man, but people with other identities cant just join the nazi cult and so I think its reasonable to center their well being more. Doesnt mean we shouldnt improve the situation for men too














  • The goal should be taking down Trump before coming for the other party.

    It should be, but I dont think that Democrats see it the same way. The party as a whole besides some individual politicians is not a party that is ready or willing to oppose the fascists.

    They also have a track record of being useless against Trump. They were in power 4 years, Biden promised to bring the country back together and just failed. There is no need to focus on them when resisting Trumpism.

    Doesnt mean they couldnt join the cause, but most likely they will do that when they decide to co-opt it so they can win the next election.


  • Ich finde schade, dass dein Kommentar hier gefühlt schlechtsmöglichst interpretiert wird. Ich würde auch anzweifeln ob erzwungene Verhaltensänderung wirklich Rücksicht ist.

    Aber es geht hier auch gar nicht/ kaum um die individuelle Ebene, sondern um gesamtgesellschaftlich Prozesse. Eine vermeintlich rücksichtsvolle Gesellschaft (hier im Beispiel Dänemark) gestaltet die Verkehrsregeln anders (Tempolimit, Radverkehr, …) als eine vermeintlich weniger rücksichtsvolle Gesellschaft wie DE. Die Prioritäten in der Verkehrspolitik ändern und bspw gefährdete Verkehrsteilnehmys besser schützen wäre zumindest auf gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene rücksichtsvoller.
