What I took from it is they’re LARPing as fascists doing fashy things, but they’re not operating under the same level of competence that more successful fascist regimes do. It’s about a bunch of overweight pigs that can’t even pass a physical, putting on a German helmet and bossing people around, while being too fucking stupid to be capable of believing in anything let alone even know what they’re doing.
The protests won’t go far enough to make a difference and fizzle out like every other “movement” in American history.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won’t do anything about it.
They could temporarily trap a population within a city by surrounding it with some barricades and stuff but that won’t last long.
Why wouldn’t it last long? Is there some sort of organized fighting force of the people we’re not aware of? Didn’t think so.
The population size of the US has a massive ratio of more citizens than law enforcement and military. They can’t take us all.
Yet they already are.
For someone like me, if the food supplies were all cut off I could just live off of the land by hunting, fishing, and farming.
Ah yes, the government has famously left people like you alone and totally won’t turn your land into gravel, drain your water table, and dump the pollution into your river.
Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who’s gonna stop them?
What’s wrong with being a hermit?
we don’t really… do consequences for the rich.
We used to. That’s why it didn’t used to be like this.
They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old.
Hide them in Argentina while giving them top positions at NASA and the CIA?
The scariest part is that every American I know personally has no idea any of these ICE raids are even happening, let alone that they’ve started detaining judges and mayors or what that even implies. Americans are so dangerously uninformed.
Except no mercy this time. No plucking any of them out of the trials to build rockets or create federal intelligence agencies or cutting any deals like the USA did with the Nazi’s. Fascists don’t believe in mercy anyway so why show them any?
And people expected Kamala to be different why?
Actually, this is what happens when people ignore the wealth accumulation to the top under capitalism.
Probably so they can get money to “take care of their family.” That’s why I hate the excuse of “If I do what’s necessary, then I won’t be able to feed my kids or pay my mortgage” people because that’s the reasoning of a cop or a Nazi soldier putting a gun barrel to the back of a pregnant womans neck, “I’m just protecting my own.” As if prioritizing your own children over other children at large isn’t anything other than fascist. Those people are self-reporting themselves as narcs and should be feared like the plague. Everyone’s family is at risk now, fuck your own. People need to start realizing the world is bigger than themselves.
The populace outnumber the police by more than 1000:1. Yes, it could be a massacre, but if the populace want victory bad enough then they can get it. However i’m convinced that Americans would stay at home and stop protesting if police start shooting at them, Americans are cowards. History has proven that the US Gov’t could bomb and burn a US city to smithereens and Americans will do nothing as a consequence (Tulsa and Philadelphia)
I’m really sorry for you and your situation, I wish there was anything more I could do than tell you that (as not an American myself). If anything I hope your situation is a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of moving to America.
I wish i could, but if I do, I’ll never see my children again
What about when you’re in a situation where you have to report other anti-MAGA to protect yourself from MAGA? Would you rat out strangers you don’t know to protect yourself and your kids?
The “but my children” excuse does not make you an ally, it makes you a liability and untrustworthy. What if they decide to deport you? You’ll definitely never see your children again. What about other peoples children? Just because they’re not yours, they don’t matter to you? Children, aka the future, depends on you going out and fighting, not hiding behind your kids because “my kids are more important than your kids.” That mindset of fear and capitulation to fascists is exactly what creates fascism, so stop using your kids as a shield from responsibility. You decided to bring your kids into this situation, not us.
There are other ways to help on the frontline that don’t involve picking up a gun and getting shot. On the back end as well, people are needed. You have a unique set of skills, stop giving them to the people that bribe you with money and start using it towards your childrens future.
People will peacefully gather and hold up signs. That’s the only consequence.
I want the secret service to uphold their sworn oath to the constitution.
I want this on a t-shirt.
