I’ve been in about half the states and have never heard anyone use Yankee except in reference to history. It always meant the “north” during the civil war. Which today would largely mean New England

Wanting a partner that shows active interest in you isn’t passive agression it’s totally normal. They just sound young and stupid and need to work on their communication skills

Might be getting compressed by Lemmy
I’m assuming you meant strongest and autocorrect gibbed you. But yeah absolutely there’s discontent. My point was more about where that discontent is placed. For a lot of people it’s placed at some abstract thing, for others it’s at some invisible elite, and other still the very visible elite
You’d need enough agreement to bridge the gaps there. Which seems feasible locally but not so much state-wide and definitely not nationally
Part of the problem is those specific tools require enough of a consensus from the populous to see wide use. There’s a schism in the states in what is considered reality rn. So either that schism will continue or something will somehow reunite us. We’ve already seen the relationship between state level government and federal government become publicly hostile. So the smart money is probably on the former. If things continue the fed won’t go away or get reformed, it will just become less and less trusted by states who oppose it
Depending on your political philosophy this might be for the better in the long run even if rn sucks . But the big elephant in the room is that no state (no not even Texas or California), is economically able to cede. The biggest and most obvious issues are water and food. If you can’t figure out where to get those other than the states you oppose or the fed you don’t trust, then you’re screwed
So yeah I don’t think we’re in any sort of unified resistance era despite what Lemmy likes to suggest. Each state is too reliant on each other state. The slow grinding decay will continue on far longer than anyone wants

I had a client who was the head of product at her buisness. We’d meet at the end of every sprint to do demos and planning. Anyway when my team mentioned there were some issues on Firefox her knee jerk response was to openly say “I hate Firefox users”
I have tons of stories like that but the point is that even people who are aware don’t universally love it
Awareness is just the bare minimum
