Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.

This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.

I only have this issue on political communities. Anger towards Americans is much more pronounced on Lemmy than on Reddit. People will call for violence a lot more frequently here than on Reddit.

I understand the anger towards Americans, but it can be downright toxic to organizing at times.

I haven’t heard anything about people buying drones. The gun ranges have been packed though.

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

Democrats and Republicans alike banded against Luigi. It’s Citizens United talking.

This happened like a month ago. This isn’t new. The speech still slaps though.
