andyburke@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?8·9 days agoThis, but OP, I think, pointed to the issue maybe without realizing it:
If you feel you are just a.cog in a capitalist machine and not a citizen of a country, why would you celebrate?
It feels like Fox news and all the wedge issues have done their work and destroyed our sense of collective citizenship. Now the GOP is doing their corporate owners’ bidding.
andyburke@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.4·19 days agoInstead of posts like these, consider trying for posts that highlight how it’s really all of us vs. a handful of incredibly wealthy people.

Get a tent, hit a campground, then hit up all the nearby stuff that you like to do with the kids.
Nicer but more expensive get a house rental and again, do local things the kids enjoy.
Honestly, a tour of local public playgrounds is wild fun for kids on vacation - at least in my experience.
andyburke@fedia.ioto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Toronto-area school bus driver seen in vehicle with ‘Lolita’s Line’ sign in window removed from route143·21 days agoYou are saying the fashion trend involving looking like a young girl is only coincidentally called “Lolita”?
Gonna check out of this discussion at this point. 👋
andyburke@fedia.ioto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Toronto-area school bus driver seen in vehicle with ‘Lolita’s Line’ sign in window removed from route193·21 days agoHold up. You’re getting fiery while claiming “Lolita” is only a fashion trend, when it is actually a reference to that very book. You have some good points, but you need to admit that there is context here that exists, regardless of if this person wants it to or not.

Everyone here talking about the minority groups when I think the real story is people thinking 1/5 Americans are making $1M/yr.
