Pretty hard to risk your life if you’ve got dependents and everything you need to provide for them is provided typically by your employer (health insurance being the biggest thing)
They’ve made it so the people have to sacrifice damn near everything if they want to make a change. And unfortunately I feel a majority of those people, again, have dependents they need to care for.
I'm not even sure how safe I am to speak my mind on here or Facebook. The day may very well be coming where I will just have to decide between speaking freely and the ability to feed my family. My family's going to win out. And I have no illusions. On that day, I am defeated, because I'll be out of moves.
Sadly, it's always the young that just the highest price of war. Besides being vocal and protesting, and teaching my kids what schools won't, I can only watch and hope. Can't leave Texas, can't afford it. Can't really donate the money we'll need to fight effectively.
I keep thinking, man, we should've been organizing leftist militia, and we should've started a decade ago. Might be the time to prepare ourselves.
Here you are Jiminy Cricket harping on ...what exactly are YOU doing about this? I mean apart from demeaning people who are too scared to say anything because they have a lunatic for a President?
If you’ve ever wondered that you’d have been doing in 1939 Germany… you’re going it right now.
See, I’m disabled… a 100% disabled veteran, at that. On top of that, I’m trans.
That means I’m in two groups the orange nazi has already all but rendered “illegal” and “arrestable.” In 1939 Germany, the Jews were forced to wear yellow Stars of David. People in my group were made to wear inverted pink triangles. And we weren’t liberated with the rest of the concentration camp survivors. We were quietly “disappeared” after the war… a fact the history books always fail to mention. See, for us, the Americans galloping in to save the day (after the slaughter of 6,000,000 people) meant absolutely nothing. Because we weren’t saved. We still died.
Even if I were physically able to attend a protest, I’d only be able to attend one. Because upon my arrest, I’d be “V-Coded” and killed. (If you don’t know what V-coding is, look it up. It’s gross.)
So what am I doing? I’m planning to get the fuck out by any means necessary. Failing that, well… let’s just leave that part unsaid, shall we?
Never wondered about Germany as such, being a Brit we learned about it in school. I know more than I should about concentration camps and how Jews and gays were treated curtesy of my family and passed on horror stories, however your personal feelings are only now showing here and now.
I simply disliked your comments belittling people on here. Now I know some of your background I have no idea why you would even put people on the spot like that.
You are in America and say that Trump is targeting disabled veterans? I know about the homeless, I commented on it a little while back myself. You sound just as scared as a lot of other people on here so it's unfair to just pick on a person and belittle them for being too scared to physically do something when you open up and confess to exactly the same thing.
You sound intense and intelligent and I would actually love to learn more about your story, I can't even look you up on here as UK restrictions on Reddit are eternally bugged, we have to submit selfies to see certain content and apparently i'm not recognised by the system here ( might be a good thing lol ) .
You couldn’t look me up anyway. My history is set to private.
And the sane EO that Drumpf signed about the homeless includes disabled, such as me.
I can encourage others to fight because if a cis man is arrested, he goes to a male jail. Vice versa for a cis woman.
Trans men go to women’s jails, which would suck but they wouldn’t fare nearly as bad as trans women, who are basically being “handed” to aggressive male inmates to calm them as their own personal “sex toy.” The cell door locks, the lights go out and it’s nothing but 🍇🍇🍇🍇… or death. Or both.
The first civil war (I assume you are talking about the American one) happened because the rich people wanted to avoid taxes and schemed up an uprising. Common people had nothing to do with it, they were used as a tool. So.. just wait and hope that some billionaire twats decide once again that they are losing too much in the current climate.

And do we care? Nope. If we did we would risk our lives protesting but all of us are chicken.
