The subreddit has no stickied post nor does the sidebar describe the protest. I don’t see any description of what the objective is anywhere. I’d love to participate and try to accomplish something but what is it that we’re trying to accomplish other than making noise?
I like the horse one way more than the English saying “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” Yours makes way more sense
What is the objective here? Are we asking for something specific or just yelling in frustration into the void?
Sure, but part of the problem then is that you have to convince them of that, and that’s even harder than arguing and using the Bible as at least part of your premise
I had a conversation with my second grade teacher on Instagram the other day. I posted Matthew 25:35-40 on my story with the comment “I can’t believe so many Christians I know support a president and a government that would willingly and forcefully kick Jesus himself out of the country thousands of times.”
She replied saying that this verse doesn’t apply for the same reason that I don’t allow just anyone into my house: because there are people who shouldn’t be there. There’s just so many things wrong with her logic AND her premises that I barely knew where to start, and that’s part of the problem. Fascism works by sowing doubt in the fabric of credibility. All she really knows is that her idea of Jesus comforts her, and so finding comfort somewhere probably means she can find Jesus and righteousness there too. You can’t really teach someone to care because they probably already do care, but you have to teach them to see the things that are actually happening, to trust the real experts, and to see the connections between themselves and the people who need care.
A good place to start is investigating if someone else already is (like generalstrikeus.com already is) and try to join them. Strikes are all about strength in numbers, and joining an existing effort is way more effective than starting from zero
