I got banned for insulting musk

I consider this a win. They'll slowly bleed users until all that's left is the fodder we really don't want to interact with anyway. Besides, with 4chan's demise, something tells me the trolls will mass migrate to Reddit.

It doesn't matter. The first one through the door is going to deliver a message to the rest. It won't be the message they want to hear.

As a wise man once said: Do not obey in advance. Everything you fear the fascists will do if you give them an excuse they'll do anyway. They're not waiting for you to do a Bad Thing before they escalate; they'll escalate whatever you do because their goal is absolute power.

It certainly helps against plainclothes people and hiding their face. You don't know who is an actual officer and who isn't.

I do remember that event for BLM. The police were using paint balls or bb guns for their "riot control" after there was a curfew.

This needs the full on force of armed citizen watchdog groups who escort ICE and hold them off. A whole community that is armed and saying "no, this is my neighbor and you cannot take him." Is going to be the way to stop ICE.

I would love to see the "police free zone" that Portland had during the BLM protests get recreated as "ICE free zones."

Death camp in el salvador or getting shot where you stand. Hmm.

I watched that video and I was terrified. If a group of people stop my car and come at me with sledgehammers then I will assume they mean to do me bodily harm. That's what terrified me most about that video. It's only a matter of time before "ICE" starts straight up killing people.

they do that to their own officers who blow whistle on corruption or abuse, they also tend to do that to people they get the wrong address of

surprisingly no one got hurt.

Are you sure this was BLM? Are you sure it wasn't star wars? Were these stormtroopers you were watching?

Being illegally arrested does count, i think. Especially with the general trend of police brutality occurring in America. That said they don't really care about the law here.

Being sent to a foreign prison without due process is certainly an imminent threat to your body

Maybe it would be more helpful if the old leftists who wasted too much time protesting started putting their lives on the line instead of insisting their children should do it for them.

Well we don't get a home, jobs are being replaced with AI, and no one can afford children. So we can avoid those roadblocks lol

People can't even stop using reddit or twitter, I don't think they can even comprehend a fight for their freedom.

Yes, its time for a bit more than protests. We need to start relying on Jury Nullification

"Peaceful" protests (they invariably involve clashes with the military or police) do work (see: post-communist Eastern Europe, Ukraine and the Arab Spring) but when you compare something like Euromaidan to 50501 you'll see a very clear difference in boldness even despite both being nonviolent.

Peaceful protests rarely lead to anything against authoritarians on their own. They do tend to gather a lot of people though, who will over time get less and less peaceful.
