Jeff@rbreich thank you, sir, for sharing that clip and providing that insightful commentary.

Andor: Nemik's Manifesto

What appears to be a lesson for children, arguably one of the most important lessons of all and above all of democracy and freedom, is a lesson that is often easier for children to grasp than for adults.
Too often we have felt what hopeless struggles are and so we give up
But we should never
We should all have the courage and the will to oppose in whatever way we can, and if not, we should learn it again
Z 🇨🇦@rbreich With all due respect it's your society who produced and elected drumph, twice. Don't act so aghast at the results. You're not kidding anyone except obviously yourself.
Your culture hasn't produced anything significant in over 30 years... except the stench of rancid decay.

Corpomancer@rbreich Not without the means of communication you're not.
jesterchen42@corpomancer @rbreich Interesting point. Perhaps THAT's why they're going for weakening encryption with backdoors and #chatcontrol...
Light@rbreich Makes sense. But I don't have a tribe I can call home. If I joined one of the existing ones and started working towards their ends, I would compromise my integrity.
stux⚡️@rbreich Thanks for standing up! And thanks for chosing an instance I host, it shows trust

Alnakar 🇨🇦@rbreich That really is a phenomenal scene! It's too bad that so few people seemed to be paying attention.
flamingored@rbreich my kids made me watch that movie hundreds of times (it was one of their favourite ones). The message is powerful, it's just the organising part which is difficult, together with the people who refuse to see reality for what it is. I keep resisting anyways, at least I can feel like I am not making the problem worse by ignoring it or being on the wrong side of history.

SpaceLifeFormAs a SpaceLifeForm, I support my fellow Ant SpaceLifeForms.
The Ants have been around a long time, and seem to be much better organized than Homo sapiens.
They do not seem to be hellbent on destroying their environment. Perhaps that is because they are widely distributed and do not watch TV.
@rbreich If only the diverse working class masses of the world who have to sell their labour to live had worked this out like us activists who have. We really create the wealth & make societies work, we have the real power in our heads, hands & pockets.
🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🐧 🥦@rbreich Orange Hitler craves love/approval. I've seen him cave before when getting a lot of hate and criticism. I think if more Americans fought back hard he and the fourth reich might backpedal.
@Methylcobalamin @rbreich No, they would just make dissent illegal.

@rbreich as Matthew Bellamy says typically during live performances of "Uprising":
"They will not con-fucking-troll us."
Actually, here, a live preformance of the song.

Unhappy Simian Primate@rbreich The grasshoppers found a way to deal with the ants with the ants themselves.
You're a red ant! You're a black ant! You can't be together because you're really different from the other ants. You just can't be together.
When was the last time you saw a career politico actually do the impartially good thing? The thing that didn't anger their billionaire overlords.
They harness this wild unrestrained force and neuter it at their head. It's a sterile democracy we live in.
Saphyre@rbreich government tyranny is unacceptable

Scimmia di Mare@rbreich please apologize my English.
The problem is, IMO, that dictators often find something that keep (almost) all of us together.
The message is true for every actor that know how to leverage our needs or fears.

alt text #Alt4You : Secretary Robert Reich is watching a clip from A Bug's Life, where the grasshoppers discuss what to do with the one ant who stood up to Hopper. some of them try to convince him it's not a big deal since it's just one ant, so Hopper demonstrates how even if one grain can't hurt them, a whole pile of them can bury them dead. he then says that the ants outnumber them 100:1, and when they realise that the grasshoppers are done for.
Reich equates this to the current USA.
