I don’t have a word or short phrase for you, but I do have an upvote and engagement. Best I can compare what you describe to is this: Remember when you or one of your friends in grade school smelled a particularly smelly pair of shoes or a bad fart or whatever else, and the immediate reaction is to say to the rest of the group, “Whoa sniff this!”? It’s like that.

They absolutely were. Biblical AF as friggin hell, man. Anyway, hope they hit a home run out of the park at the game!

To answer one of your follow-ups: Christ is a title, it’s the English version of the Greek word for messiah.

Jesus Christ = Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Messiah = Christ Jesus and so forth

The ringing in my ears is my own personal sensation. There are many others with a ringing of their own, but this one is mine and it undoubtedly is as unique as my fingerprint.

“The maybe possibility” is literally “the possibility” wtf are you on about

Edit: you misunderstand how to use the word “maybe.” Something that “could maybe happen” is something that might possibly happen. In other words, it “may be” a thing that happens. Maybe.

It’s not coming through for me for some reason. Can you try restarting it?

Kidding, of course, congrats on your “Hello, World”

I think you’re doing it exactly right. The three things I try to remember: 1) Do what you can, 2) When you can, 3) For as long as you can.

Some stuff is out of my wheelhouse, it’s not something I can not or will not do. Sometimes I have other obligations I need to keep in order to honor commitments I’ve made or help those in my circle that need it. And sometimes, I need to rest so I can be my best for those other stages. All of that is OK. Do what you can, when you can, as long as you can. Exceeding those boundaries is a recipe for trouble. Others will help plug holes once they see something is already happening and your community support system will self-reinforce and grow over time.

May I ask for a link for this?

Deistic (believing in a god or gods without a necessary religious component) but not theistic. Or pagan, which is just believing in higher beings (or singular being) that are not Abrahamic. There’s probably other words that fit the bill, too.

The theme song from Mighty Mouse gives the description of a hero that I subscribe to. A hero is someone who is there to save the day when someone really needs saving. Anyone can be a hero if they answer the call when fate provides them the need for one.

Mister Trouble never hangs around
When he hears this Mighty sound.
"Here I come to save the day"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right
Mighty Mouse will join the fight.
On the sea or on the land,
He gets the situation well in hand

So though we are in danger, we never despair
Cause we know that where there's danger he is there!
(He is there, on the land, on the sea, in the air!)

We're not worrying at all
We're just listening for his call
“Here I come, to save the day!”
That means that Mighty Mouse
Is on the way!

We're not worrying at all
We're just listening for his call
“Here I come, to save the day!”
That means that Mighty Mouse
Is on the way!

The scrolls tell of a new geohot that will come along and jailbreak again to save us all…

The glowing sun projects its rays, consciousness reflects the age.

For balance sheet purposes, he’s “Security Supplies (generic)”

Why do i need to convince a bunch of lemmings that shit is bad in the US? That is laughable. We all fucking know already.

It’s like you can’t read, but I know you can because you can write well enough, so I guess it’s that you either didn’t read or lack the tools to comprehend?

When will you be attempting your first political assassination? Who will be your target? Don’t go all American on me now, you’re a big strong Aussie after all, right? You got some MAGA-types down your way, when’s the next attack planned? Or are you going after the US Embassy to really send a message? Do tell…

I’m not denying reality. I’m mad and I want to make things better. So I work within my personal sphere of influence to lead by example and show the people around me what being kind, caring, interested, and engaged looks like in real life. I talk about the scary things I see or read about happening, along with the historical correlations when I recognize them and have the opportunity, with anyone and everyone that wants to discuss it, and frequently in spaces where others can overhear the conversation.

I think there are lots of people taking a similar approach. Talking to people around you in person is a lot more effective than doing it on the internet.

I’m not saying you’re doing the thing I’m about to mention, to be clear, but it feels adjacent to it, so I’m throwing it out there for the lemmyverse at large. I think it’s kinda shitty to see all the “why aren’t Americans doing anything” comments and posts. It would be astronomically stupid to post openly online about any serious resistance efforts. Most of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, and teach our children how to grow into honest and caring adults when they grow up. Being a lone wolf in a revolution that hasn’t yet materialized does not help any of us accomplish those goals, and it hurts the chances of a real popular uprising once a critical mass is achieved because it gives the gestapo something to point to and say “See, we’re actually needed for safety and not fascist pigs.” I can’t go fix this problem by myself any other way than the one I am doing right now, and I’m doing the hell out of it.

But it makes me sad, and a little bit depressed, probably like you are feeling too based on your post, to see such an apparent dearth of true patriotism reflected in our ruling class and to further see it echoed by the ruled class with stupid signs and idolatrous Trump flags alongside American flags that the flyer clearly has no real connection to other than as a cult symbol. Always remember how hard moneyed interests in the US attacked our education system, and never forgive the people that have made it a multi generational effort to ensure American children grew up without a true understanding of how government works nor the stakes at hand.

And now, with our society operating with a 6th grade reading level, the ruling class is performing their next trick: fooling the undereducated into allowing the rulers to take over and own everything as they see fit. After all, running things is very complicated and the instruction manuals are written at a much higher reading level than we can really understand entirely, you see. They fucked us, they are fucking us, and they continue to fuck us, while removing our collective ability to spread awareness of the perpetual enfuckening and how it has developed.

It’s just a whole thing, man. Fuck me. I’m trying, I’m doing my best, others are too, the constant reminder that I’m not doing enough is a bit much, and I’m not in a position where I can just declare myself a plumber with an affinity for he color green and see how my new career works out. In fact, that would probably make me less effective to the resistance efforts. You know?

Yeah but you referenced Soylent when the original comment was about Soylent Green (which, as you tacitly acknowledge, came first) so you kind of got the cause and effect backwards
