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.
When?
That's the exact opposite of what I'm saying.
Again, that's the opposite of what I'm saying. We can make a change, but protests aren't how it gets done.
"When?"
Gandhi freed India(1947
The Civil Right Act.(1964)
Women's Suffrage(1920)
nearly every labor right you enjoy(from 200 years ago up to today)
nearly every civil right you enjoy.(sames)
There are literally countless examples.
All of your privileges you take for granted and are blissfully ignorant of were bestowed upon you by caring citizens who took the time to demonstrate their political will.
Sorry to burst the bubble.

I really want to be in a time of history where rapid, positive political change is possible through non-violence alone. Those levers were taken away by decades of anti-electoralism/accelerationism and it's always easier to break things than to build them.
again, this 100% agrees with my thesis that protests are effective, your pretense of argument is nonsensical.
thank you for proving me right again, and if you want to pretend that proving me correct somehow benefits you, go for it.
