It’s always wild to see. The fascists are literally willing to storm the capitol if some neolib gets voted in. The liberals and leftists are all like “WELL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO?!”
I expect you to do at least as much as the fascists do.
The consequences exist for us
A lot of them went to jail for like four years until trump pardoned them.
So they didn't face real consequences
Like at least one fascist died during the insurrection. So idk what the fuck you’re talking about.
They got too excited. One had a fucking heart attack or whatever. They partied too hard. It wasn't an insurrection, it was a joke
Ashli Babbit got shot by law enforcement. She did not die of a heart attack.
Some other had a heart attack. I forgot the details cause it wasnt a big deal
Was he the same one who tazed himself in the balls?
Yeah!
A woman died of a heart attack from meth.
she had several chances to stop trying to climb the barricade.
So the fascists are willing to risk getting shot while climbing the barricade, which is just proving Cruxifux's point.
I think señor galaxy brain is saying that these chuds get many, many, many more passes to do their tomfoolery. If it was a leftist mob storming the capital they'd get drone striked or machine-gunned before they even reached the front doors. For the chuds they get much more leeway and only got shot after they tried storming the last line of defense between them and congress
That's fair. They are still willing to risk consequences, which makes them extremely dangerous, given that they get much less of consequences than leftists.
This is also true. I dont think any of this is news
Yeah that's pretty much it. You can tag users by adding an @ before the username BTW
no, the rest of them were not.
compare the police presence at that event to all the pigs in anticipation of Floyd protests in DC.
the rules are different for them and one overstepped. If they were serious about what they were doing they would've pushed forward because that secret service guy had very limited ammunition. The thing we aren't willing to do (yet) is try it when there are 50 machine guns pointed at us and throw away lives for a few meters like it's 1917.
Exactly. This is not rocket science I’m pitching as an idea here. I do not know why these guys are being so willfully obtuse about this.
One died of meth intoxication. And yeah, the one got shot.
Going to American federal prison for four years isn’t real consequences to you? Do you hear yourself? Like tell yourself whatever you want to try and excuse yourself from any blame from your inaction but don’t expect the people your country invades to buy that bullshit or think of you any less negatively.
4 years is nothing. I had a roommate that did 17 for robbing banks. 4 years is barely a slap on the wrist for a supposed insurrection and if you dont think you could handle 4 years in the slammer you arent ready for revolution
If the fascists are willing to do it and you aren’t you’ve already lost. See you when you get conscripted and you’re in my country getting shot at in -25 celsius.
I am already in your country you fucking dweeb, we are both Canadian.
I love this website
Never before has a softer pitch been delivered. Homie already knew
I don’t understand why you’re choosing to side with do nothing American liberals as their inaction helps usher in a fascist dictatorship that threatens to invade us then.
Where did you get that idea?
That's why the right wing is letting global warming happen. It's all coming together!
Its genius!
I don't think you understand the consequences for leftists here
I don’t think YOU understand the consequences of inaction.
I'm not sure what you mean
They loved goading people in countries that are enemies of their state to risk their lives in some act of civil disobedience, but cannot be fucked to do anything even remotely similar.
And lucky us now we have a chance of having to go to war with them. I’ll be going down shooting. But I don’t hold any wild beliefs that we will be able to win any war against the states.
You will win, just like Vietnam, with disproportionate losses.
Even in Afghanistan, there were instances where they had 17 US special forces killed to 1 Taliban, so they bombed some nearby village to kill 15 people to balance out the K/D ratio.
Thats fucked.
I am not sure how it will go with us though. Especially in my province. Theres a lot of MAGA morons here that would betray us in a second. That was very much NOT the case in Vietnam.
We also have drone warfare the US has been throwing into the mix lately. They did not have that in Vietnam.
They had a Ho Chi Mihn, who is possibly the greatest general mastermind of the last century. We do not.
They had ideal land conditions for guerrilla warfare. Most of Canada does not.
BUT
It does get fucking cold here and Americans are nothing if not weak and cowardly. And who knows, maybe their military will have enough dissent in the ranks that fighting a war against a white christian english speaking nation will make some of them rebel. But I mean the Vietnam war was unpopular and most people against it just dodged the draft or did peaceful protests (with some radical exceptions.) Idk I have zero faith in American liberals anymore though.
Wait...you're Canadian? Motherfucker we are part of the imperial core! Canada as it stands currently isnt gonna do fuck all about American imperialism because its how we get our cheap shit. We wont have Guerilla armies like the Vietnamese cause we are essentially Americans not cause of the teritory which is btw fantastic for it if you know where you live well. Thats the point of guerilla warfare. There isnt gonna be Canadian guerilla warfare happening unless its maybe native driven Maoism and that's the best case scenario there. We arent part of the resistance we are part of the problem and should act as such. The fucking arrogance
If you think that Canada’s imperialist impact is at all comparative to that of the US then you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not GOOD, but being a part of it is not going to protect us from being invaded and our government and global impacts being changed to something much worse. I do not understand what you’re not getting about this man.
I don't think we share perspectives. Im a communist. We are communists here
I am also a communist.
Meet your local indigenous groups. Make friends, be curious about their culture, express sympathy and passion for what they've been put through.
Meet your local orgs. Make connections there too.
Get a gun license. Legally get a gun. For hunting moose or something. You can change your mind about sport hunting after you get it. It's a free country after all.
Read theory; share theory. Ho Chi Mihn didn't come out of the womb as a mastermind. He was literate. He read strategy.
I’ve already done all these things. I often encourage people to do the same. I doubt it will be enough though.
Then all that is left to say is good luck.
