Can we avoid calling taking action against valid moral objections “drama”? It only serves to make the people doing the right thing sound like they’re being immature, even when they’re obviously right.
Objecting to a fascist government’s influence over very powerful build infrastructure used around the world is the right thing to do.
That’s the thing, whether or not they’re valid depends on the person you’re asking.
I personally think this is a load of bullshit and just another instance of slacktivists trying to guilt people into doing their bidding.
Hopefully the leader in question doesn’t change a single thing due to this pressure. He would be a helpless child if he didn’t have the strength to resist this kind of peer pressure from online drama.
I mean yeah, if you ask a fascist how they feel about fascism, they probably don’t think it’s a big deal.
How is taking direct action to stigmatize someone who is enabling our fascist military “slacktivism”? What do you propose would be a more fitting and effective tactic for someone who doesn’t want their work associated in any way to the US military?

These terms mean very specific things but because you don’t know what those things are you think I’m being vague and biased. You should probably just shut up.

No it fucking doesn’t! There are people who think that, but they’re wrong.
Moral relativism is bullshit.
I’m sorry you and so many others are foolish enough to delude yourselves into thinking that.
The problem is, even if he was a good guy, he will get pressure from the racist regime if they want some changes. They could threaten his career of family, and so he complies
Why don’t we destigmatise drama?
Imagine if we referred to the recent UN walkout as “Drama at the UN.” It trivializes the topic.
Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.
We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.
I think I’ve been on the internet longer than you, and drama has always applied to any kind of spat between parties.
Look at the youtube channel DramaAlert for countless examples.
“Listen kid, I’ve been on the internet much longer than you have. Back in my day we used to spin fidget spinners while watching LeafyIsHere videos and It’s The Nutshack memes during class instead of doing work. But you wouldn’t know nothin’ bout that, that’s ancient internet stuff right there”
Yeah, I rest my case.
You had none to begin with.
You would say that because that’s how tribalism works.
Bunch of average people in here being average.
Probably for the best 🤣
i sincerely hope nixos utterly fails and their entire team shit their beds.
I can understand being hopeful for something greater taking it’s place post-collapse, but why wish a downfall for an entire team of humans that feel pain just as much as you and I?
If you feel pain while defecating, no matter if its on the loo or in bed, you probably should check it up. Pain is not a natural reaction to that activity
