Trends are a weird thing. People who want to make money convince MILLIONS of people to wear what they tell them to. I reject this.

@CStamp I agree about that one.

@leapingwoman It really is. I’ll leave it at that.🤣

I want to hurt them where it hurts them most - the wallet. It’s the only thing they understand.

@billyjoebowers Exactly. I don’t want to have to do this the hard way when options exist to change the course.

People can also be a good as they are shitty.

I hope that this peak into changing the behavior of government through protesting a bad policy shows people what's possible, gives people a little hope. Imagine if all government officials were responsive to their constituents. VOTING can make that happen.

When I was a kid, my mom used to always say “It’s easier to be nice than to be mean.” I think it’s true.

@danblondell The energy of mean is so ugly. Who wants to live like that.

All this wasted power irritates the hell out of me.

We CAN do great things. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

@CStamp The solution seems clear.

@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@CStamp They’re just people. We can take it away if we want to bad enough.

@CStamp Hard is okay as long as we do it.

We CAN change. We DON’T HAVE to be this way.

@CatDragon Fuck ‘em. Let’s just gather the people who get it as a starting point.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@mentallyalex This is exactly what I was just thinking. They can only do what we let them do. If we WANT to stop them, we can. How many people are going to have to suffer and die first is the only question. @CatDragon

We need to make having old things and few things popular. Only uncool people have a lot of random shit and new shit.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@LycanGalen Part of the mentality is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@LycanGalen Things also don’t have to maintain their original use. You might be able to use it in another way.

For most of my life, I didn’t wish specific people ill. I do NOW.

@Aviva_Gary My mother and MIL say all types of mind-blowing shit for 88 year olds. 🤣

We don’t all need to buy the exact same things that we use occasionally. We should have organized borrowing.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@domino_joyce Yep, that.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@bouriquet My point is we should change.

@kate Somewhere in the thread is a link to the “Library of Things.” And, I suspect you’re right about how it starts.

@housepanther I’ve never heard of this before. Just went to the website. Bet my kid does.@susankayequinn @ColesStreetPothole
