I plan on starting a non-profit apartment complex and create a network amongst businesses to ensure that my tenants never have to worry about losing their rights to life.

I have a 1000 year plan that includes buying farmland, hiring medical staff and creating deals for entertainment until we can all start learning to lean on each other again.

A Declaration of Globalization: 1000 Year Plan to Save the World is in progress and will be made available for free everywhere I can once it's written. The more people that start the process in their home country, the faster we can put it into motion

I think we'll be lucky is humanity is still here in ten years, and you're planning for a thousand — but I love your optimism, kind stranger.

My expectation is to die within the next 4 years. Unfortunately, I'm an "undesirable" according to my admin. However, if I can get the idea out and the ball rolling then I can only hope someone sees it to fruition

“You’re doing it now”

Browsing Lemmy?

I'm doing my part

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago

Guess I'll die, because at this point I'm not that far removed from a jew begging my neighbors not to turn me in.... and they believe everything the party says about how das Juden, or should I say Transpeople.

Being an active leftist I'd of joined the resistance.

Lemmy aint exactly the operation they had going on in Casablanca, but it's better than Mighty No. 9

Keep your eyes open for opportunities to empower those inside the US, as they fight from within.

Keep your eyes open for opportunities to empower Canadians and Mexicans, as they stay strong against the bullying.

I'm telling everyone I can about the wild and crazy changes since most social media and news outlets are censoring it.

Since I can't get out of the country easily, I get to hide. Yaaaay.

What should I do, living in a developing country, alone with no friends whatsoever? Hard to see what can be done.

Beat them motherfuckers to LATIN AMERICA BAY BEEE.

Any country that gets nazis in power don't deserve me paying taxes to them.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Create and share fire memes about it I guess

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 6 days ago

I guess travel. Because I've had the urge to travel so hard for the past couple months. But I am 22 so I guess it's that phase

For Democrats and Republicans, clearly you all would have marched right along with them. I don't want to hear another word about your moral purity when you voted for a genocide. The hypocrisy is stunning.

[–] bustAsh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I voted Democrat, but I've never put any elected official on a pedestal. When said official is in office, I expect them to do their job and not fck sh*t up.

Also I have never voted for genocide. I abhor politics that encourage the hate of others.

[–] dx1@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

You voted for Harris or Trump, you voted for genocide, whether you like it or not.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 6 days ago

are you advocating violence against nazis?

for anyone who doesn't know what to do and you're feeling stuck, let me tell you what the holocaust survivors from my childhood told me they did: they started meeting in their houses to discuss acts of resistance and to build up community strength through mutual aid and solidarity. they also got strapped and put a heavy emphasis into monitoring the nazis through actually scouting what movements the brown shirts were making, and into storytelling. storytelling is how you make sure future generations hear you and your best bet at dislodging someone from the death cult they're locked into

My country got rid of a fascist state 50 years ago. My grandfather was part of the political police. He was a monster.

Anything to prevent that again.

Pushing stupid people will be a good start.

Find like minded people, collective action is always stronger than individual action. If you don't currently have a community that is engaged, consider joining a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Unitarians in the US and Europe resisted the German Nazis by creating documents and providing refuge for Jewish people fleeing the Holocaust. Many congregations today have active social and environmental justice groups, often focusing on local action with low barriers to entry. Nobody is expected to believe any particular scripture, but UUs have a common set of principles, the first being everyone has inherent worth and dignity.
