This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.
Friend, I live in a settler state too, and our genocide isn’t quite over yet either. I didn't start it, but as a part of the settler side of the equation, I benefit economically. I also benefit from the neocolonialism of the companies based in my country, indirectly, yes, and whether I ask for it or not.
No matter what I do to
...it won't be enough. Doesn't matter, take it on and acknowledge it.
Funny how responsibility works. It's nuanced.
I'm not responsible for the actions of bloodthirsty politicians when I do everything I can short of murder to prevent these things from happening.
I dont choose to benefit economically.
Being a participant in society is not just cause to blame someone for another's actions.
This all-or-nothing lack of nuance combined with a lack of collective responsibility is a fairly typical example of the kind of complaints I hear or read about USA culture.
My man's here talking about nuance while blaming every American for its current state.🙄
Sure bud, all or nuthin, with me or against me, uhhuh.
I am trying my damndest to do something. Anything.
Do I deserve the hate for simply existing in the system?
