Act as if is a concept in psychology. When a person “acts as” if they adopt mindsets and actions aligned with the outcomes they want, helping themselves subconsciously put thoughts into actions. It’s a very similar concept to “fake it until you make it.”

For example by acting as if we’ll have midterms and the fight isn’t over I’m more motivated to seek out peers, organize, and participate in ongoing actions. By acting as if we won’t have midterms I could safely disengage and be content doing nothing while institutions are dismantled and fascism takes root. It’s apathetic and defeatist and the only thing it accomplishes is suppressing people we all presumably agree with.

Right? OS arguments over Thanksgiving dinner sounds like kind of a good time.

A whole bunch of us are going to be working our asses off as if there are going go to be. If you’re one of those chucklefucks who thinks “there’s no point!” then you can fuck right off right now coward. Go hide in your moms basement while the adults try to fix what other basement dwellers have wrought.

I guess this is what i should have expected to happen when liberals try Antifascist action lmao.

As opposed to your selfless sacrificial “action” of… keeping your car and driving it around? Musk would see you exterminated, get some solidarity, dump your Swasticar and buy a fucking Camry or something.

Just trying to help, enjoy getting shit dropped on your Swasticar I guess, it’s nothing to me.

Nobody is here to hold your hand and get you up to speed Sealion.

Maybe get one of those “i got this before Elon was a nazi” stickers or something? Dumping it onto the used market for cheap would be ideal but I get it. I’m in the market for a new (used) car right now and taking on a monthly payment again isn’t something I’m looking forward to and could easily be considered a hardship.

Have you ever had to visit a DMV?

And the more people come out and say “oh shit I was wrong” the easier it becomes for others to do the same.

You’re probably right, I always assumed he just withdrew his head back into his shell when he was threatened; you know what they say about assuming!

Ken McElroy could beat up, rape, threaten and rob anyone in town until he couldn’t anymore.

Fuck you for making me notice Skums nipple-shadows.

The spin I heard was that he started saying it and halfway through realized he was going to create a soundbite of him saying “shame on me” and instinctively knew it would be better to flub the line and “aww shucks” it than to give a soundbite of him shaming himself.

the military is actually a welfare/jobs program.

And everything that implies aside, it’s a really good one. Coming out of the military with a decent MOS or G.I. Bill is one of the few paths to real class mobility left for a lot of people. That’s by design I’m sure.

i have sexdaily, i mean dyslexia

now they sell it and can only replace it with a hundai.

Which is exactly what they should do, hopefully it puts a used one out to further prevent a (committed) buyer from getting a new one.

Personally, I think people that own them should dump them, flood the market with used Swasticars nobody wants to be associated with. However, direct action does seem to be having an impact.

I suspect anyone the victim of this type of crime will think twice about buying another.

Dems: “Like what? Go on tour?”

Dems: “Our job is to convince American citizens that that Israel is a cool guy!”

That persons name?

Nicole, the fediverse chick.

All of the wedge issues are like that too. Abortion, social justice, guns all directly impact a relatively small number of people. However people have very serious opinions on those things that go to the very core of their character and partly define who they are, so they’re used to divide the majority into smaller groups. So we don’t gain class consciousness and realize what the problem actually is.
