Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

No legitimate response?
That is a legitimate response to what you said. I'm not as long as this other person in organizing and working but I do a fair amount of on the ground organizing. And it's a fucking shit load of work. And it requires a ton of patience and broken heartedness. So when we hear from piss babies claiming that we're not serious because we didn't vote for your genocide supporter, there's nothing to say except ppb, good luck.
You didn't address anything I said. Why complain about Obama or Hoover or George fucking Washington when a significant tragedy is unfolding right now. Of course we can learn from the mistakes of the past, but ignoring the present is being complicit. Good on you for organizing, patience, and all the work in helping others. Volunteer work is a grind especially when politicians could do so much so easily with the stroke of a pen. Those in power NOW need to hear your message.
You don't really deserve a legitimate response to "let's just ignore history"
You don't deserve a response for "let's just ignore the present".
