we can play that game too
Ok. Are you going to get in the game soon, or..? Because, from the other side of the pond, it looks like people are doing nothing but film their fellow countrymen and women while they're being kidnapped by fat men in non-official cameo clothes. We don't see much of anyone stepping in and play by the rules that, by now, is very much like some bad old western movie. We only see mothers and children being draged by insecure men that hides their faces, while no one does anything. Let me know when you've entered the game, though, I'm eager to see it happen.
We need to exhaust nonviolent resistance first, we're not even close to doing that. And what we've done so far (No Kings, recent blue wave, other protests, boycotts) is kind of starting to work.
Everyone on the internet acts like some kind of freedom fighter badass but anyone with common sense knows 1. most of those people are full of shit and roleplaying online and 2. a violent overthrow ends up with people in charge who are willing to use violence to get what they want. Historically that sort of thing has not gone well.
Nonviolence works, it takes persistence and patience, and is always preferable to another civil war.
We need to work in many different directions. Soap box and ballot box are working hard right now.
Destruction of property is a gray area. Obviously it can go too far, like setting a house on fire or destroying the east wing of the white house. But I was fine with them getting rid of the stupid Confederate statues. There are some options there.
Assassinations can be a bit murky, too. I'm fine with Luigi being a folk hero for people. Assassinations are extremely risky and of questionable effectiveness....but that one felt like borderline self defense. That sort of thing can escalate quickly but 47 is escalating either way.
Oh cool, another full of shit internet tough guy.
I deleted my comment because I realize it was aggressive. But since you've responded: Fuck your liberal centrist privilege. Youre the kind of bitch who is fine with state violence as long as you can keep shopping at target. You are part of what got us here.
What do you suggest they do?
Eta: Always be super careful when people sitting on the shitter tell you that you should go out into the world and commit real life violence. Nobody who does these behaviors is out here on the internet flagging it for the world to see. They could be lazy internet-dwellers, they could be edgy teens, they could be feds, but don't let them influence you. And if you're going to do what they suggest, for God's sake don't talk about it.
seriously, the only way that shit is effective is if your a lone wolf (or working in a very tight team). lone wolfs especially are basically unstoppable, unless they're stupid enough to tell people their plan online
The implication seems pretty clear to me. Nobody likes that solution, but it's becoming increasingly inevitable the longer this goes on.
Meanwhile, weapons and spyware continue to coalesce into the wrong hands.
Well said. So tired of these boisterous bullshitters always running their mouths off conveniently from somewhere else. If they're so concerned and would do the right thing, they can simply buy a plane ticket.
I am not suggesting anything; your 2nd amendment, however, does. Against something called "tyranny". If you do not believe that that definition is already fulfilled by your pedophile in charge, I'll, rightfully so, take a step back. Until then.
Ah, nothing like stochastic edging from someone conveniently from the other side of the pond, huh.
Alas, who are you but yet another neighbor, bystander, witness to this tragedy? Why don't you buy youself a plane ticket, good samaritan? Simply so you can clearly show us how it's done, whatever it is that you're referring to of course!
For what it's worth, the news coming out of the US are HEAVILY censored. Every major news org is owned by a billionaire nazi.
I live in Canada now but I'm originally a NYer, and despite living so close, news about the resistance movement doesn't always make it here. I only find out through talking with my friends back home.
Yeah, I understand that. It's horrible. US is in deeply troubled spot now, but some time the will need to act, in whatever way necessary, if they want to save their democracy. And the longer that act is taking to enforce; the more uncomfortable it will be to perform. My fear is that they won't act before it's too late (if it isn't already, but I want to believe that it isn't), if the worlds biggest democracy completely falls; that sends a message to all conservative movements on the globe that their undemocratic ways is a winning strategy. The heat is on US, for now, there are many in the works elsewhere (very much including my country, our next biggest party is a MAGA/NAZI party; we have our much similar battles here, too, not yet as extreme, but very concerning either way).
Please, by all means, show us the way and lead by example, instead of being a second rate arm-chair general behind the keyboard.
if I ever see it goin down, I'll be either help them (not fuckin ice) or on my way to the next place with said person, fuck ice and trump the 3 inch dick owner
Can we?
