      Today’s phrase is “garnish your wages.” If their protest doesn’t involve moving to another country it’s not going to happen. I’ve thought about it too, but my contingency,for that definitely involves moving to Scandinavia.

        Ah bullshit. Civil rights weren’t achieved by threatening to leave and not be the oppressor’s problem anymore, they were achieved by standing ones ground damned the consequences. No one wants to be a martyr, but that’s how battles are unfortunately won, especially against today’s brand of fascists.

          More of this. It’s time for mass protests instead of complaining and then working a 9 to 5 and browsing Instagram.

              Right so we should ruin their credit scores so it gets harder to rent (yes rental agencies check) or buy a car (even if they get one, their interest rate will be super high). Better we just fuck people over since they can’t afford a house, right?

                  Ok so I’ll move to Ireland, since they speak English and I could keep my job I’m sure I’ll have much better luck renting there XD. Go away troll

                    Lemmy.world kids will never understand the actual world and how it works…

                    You can’t just all complain you’re getting fucked AND agree to all do nothing about it. The rest of the world is watching and laughing at the USA right now.

                    Don’t pay your American banks, there is nothing stopping you from doing that.

                  You’re a coward for even thinking that is a real option for most people.
