"And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be," he said.

Like Hitler's "Krystalnacht", right?

JUST like Hitler's "night of broken-glass"??

US has a blanket-policy, that they NEVER bargain with terrorists: once you "appease" 1 of them, then the ALL are certain of their terrorism's "rights".

US's policy is simply to break them.

Nonfatally if possible, but there's no moral/ideological problem with killing them.

The US .. I expect only 1/3rd of the US's population to be left alive, after US Civil War Part2, & the ever-escalating ClimatePunctuation has finished trashing things, these next years..

When ww3 begins, the ContinuousHammerfall stage of The Great Filter ( 2035-ish ), I expect not 400,000,000 citizens in the US, but 4/3 hundred-million citizens left alive.

133,000,000-ish.

Maybe the remnant left alive will understand the stakes, then..

as I'm "sure" the rest of the world will, by then ( not a chance in hell, iow ).

Socio-political-pressure NEVER kept humankind honest.

Not in the old-testament, not in the new-testament, not in the mahabharata, not in the buddhist, or shinto, ar any records.

IF humankind survives The Great Filter, THEN objectivity is going to be LAW among the survivors, however few they are.

Sounds a lot like Putin talking to Ukraine

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lots of talk in this thread. I stood during the pandemic against anti-vaccs and no-masks and intend to again. I've heard a lot of excuses, mostly surrounding a need to work and pay bills and how they cannot jeopardize that.

I wonder if there will be excuses this time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure why you think the need to work and pay bills isn't a legitimate reason to not do other things. You have to eat to live and living is a lot harder without a home. Or with a home but without services like running water.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's just an excuse... I shower daily but somehow that task doesn't prevent me from doing other stuff

Similarly you can work and pay your bill while still setting time aside to organize, protest, write, etc

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I thought we were talking about people using having to work and pay bills as an excuse to not go out on the street and protest. You can't do any of those things from a cell, which is what they're risking. I don't blame anyone for not risking that, especially if they have people who depend on them like small children.

But sure, they can do other things like organize and write. That's true.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It is an excuse, when used as a barrier to why they can't. My point being that these rights, expectations, social norms, whatever else we might call them or list, are being slowly shaved away. There is also something to be said for that risk being one of the leashes placed upon the working class. A fear of reprisal. A very real fear, unfortunately.

Yet this is where we are. Either we take these risks or risk everything being systematically taken away anyway while we struggle to pay ever increasing bills. A slow death from financial squeeze.

I think it was an excuse not to wear a mask/get vaccinated, but exanime lost the plot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Maybe, I'm not paying too much attention.... I thought we were talking about excusing people from participating in the policial process because of work and bills

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You can't do any of those things from a cell

According to whom... Perhaps not for long, but Americans still have the right to assemble peacefully and some freedom of speech left

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

~~Ignore, app glitched and responded to wrong comment ~~

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Some of us have physical disabilities that are not very visible. Prison would be a prescription for even more physical ailments.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Then that is a different (actually valid) excuse

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

but Americans still have the right to assemble peacefully and some freedom of speech left

Sure. Tell that to all the BLM protestors that got rounded up. Or the college students protesting Israel this year for that matter.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So your point is that Americans are excused from protesting going straight into fascism because they are basically already there?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

The ones with children to feed? Yes. Do you have children who rely on you to survive?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

That's hilarious they think they know what violence means, or revolution. I'm frankly surprised they can read.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

More people should know what's in Project 2025. It's a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.

They're not even trying to hide it.

NutWrench, you are fined 1 credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.

Does this mean I have to learn to use the the shells?

Different Universe, but I'll allow it.

Ironic that they're the ones who blessed us with all the stand your ground laws and lax gun control. Bump stocks it is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bumps stocks are illegal actually

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

They're actually legal federally now, tho many states have banned them

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

You ever see those teeny, tiny baby shrimp? I'm talking the REALLY small ones? They have bigger dicks than that impotent fuck.
