Who the fuck has the shit taste to wear that? And can afford it?

I suspect there's a big overlap between those groups...

[–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah… definitely a close 100% overlap. The thing is, as much as I loath them, I don’t see shit I can’t do against them that wouldn’t land me or mines in troubles. So even though I hate them with all my guts for the ferrets and much more I wonder; what can I do?

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The most obvious one would be voting for politicians that want to shut that shit down nationally? Discussing it in a negative light, help out making anti-fur become the default stance? Talk to people you know that are pro- or on the fence?

Very good points. Hard ones though. I’m from Belgium and we have elections next year. I have absolutely no party to vote for. Either they are advocating regionalism, corrupt as fuck, housing religious extremists or supporting the class divide. All assholes; it’s literally just choosing my poison, bit in the end you still fucking die.

I’m trying to talk to the few person I have around me but I’m starting to sound like an old angry & sour guy.

Well you could always do like more and more people do and just check out? Take care of your own shit and wash your hands of the evils of the world - Don't participate in "democracy" by voting.

Not caring at all is always easier than caring more than the average person.

Not my style. Also not what I want for my kids. But honestly it’s hard to take actions that matters, that have impact.

I'm sure there's smaller parties you can vote for, right? And Belgium is not like the us where voting for a third party gets you nothing.
