Yeah, 2015/16 was full of me being told to go back to China, really looking forward how this shit show is going to be.
🙄 sigh. Good luck man, maybe get outta that area if that's possible. West coast seems to be ok (just don't go inland).
Just the beginning. If you thought 2016 empowered the racists, buckle up.
You see they say violence isnt a solution but i wouldnt use it as a solution, i just wanna commit it against whoever is doing this.
Violence is never the answer.
It's a question, and the answer is "yes."
Yup. We're going to have this going on for 4 years.
Racists are going to target Blacks, Hispanics, Asians with racial slurs and more.
Xenophobes will antagonize immigrants and other people of ethnic backgrounds.
Bigots will target LGBTQ as usual.
Yeah, wonderful...
Arm yourselves.
Let them be the first to draw blood but do not go down without a fight.
They want a war, they've spent decades screaming about it, and stockpiling weapons.
They will be emboldened to violence.
Arm yourselves.
Calm down satan
What the fuck
Yeah but latinos and black men were uncomfortable with voting a woman
Young white men were BIGLY for Trump. If I were young and single I'd be joining the 4B movement after having them sell my rights down the river
Russia wants a civil war. They want people scared and angry. They want people taking to the streets armed. Don't fall into this trap - the propaganda machine is going strong, even here on Lemmy.
Trump openly said he will be a dictator and will not follow the rule of law. The damage is done man, Putin got what he wanted. I'm not really sure any ways out. We either fall into an authoritarian dictatorship, or we will probably eventually have a civil war. I'm not really sure what else can be done about that. You can't vote yourself out of a dictatorship... So what else is there for people to do?
There is always a path towards peace. I admit it may be unclear to me in the present moment but I’ll be searching for it in the coming years.
We certainly don’t need to do anything to accelerate civil conflict, inevitable or not.
There is always a path towards peace.
I'll try to be polite and simply say this is incredibly naive and ignorant of human history.

You do that, while the Kansas National Guard is busy doorkicking for Latinos in New York.

... dafuq?
Project 2025 specifically mentions deputizing national guard units from red states to enforce their immigration law nationwide, specifically in blue states where the local LEOs and leadership there are likely to be less cooperative.
Ahh. I initially read that as if it had already happened. That being in P25 tracks.
I don’t know why you think this is naive. We might be able to know or actualize the path the peace but that does not mean it isn’t there.
The present danger doesn’t say anything about what is the most effective way to resist or diffuse this danger. Do you think you have the strength of arms to defeat the US military? Now that I would call naive.
I don't fucking care about peace; I care about justice. If the path to justice requires going through conflict, then anybody who says that bullshit you wrote is an enemy of it.
Then you are extremely naive about the horrors and harms a civil war would entail. We should all care.
I don’t agree that justice requires going through war, nor even that war is even likely to lead to justice.
Especially here on Lemmy.
Part of me can't help but think that a lot of these "that guy" tankies are really just MAGA honeypots trying to incite the communist Boogeyman they want to use to justify their radical agenda.
Russia doesn't have to lift a finger. We elected the king of the racist bigots, and now for four years (and more) we're going to have to constantly push back against them, because they will will think they can do whatever they want.
Russia wants you fighting for your life, so to get that smug satisfaction of not giving your enemy what they want, you should instead not fight for your life even when all sense says you should.
I get tempering your emotions, being patient, and trying to see the bigger picture. But there may come a point where it simply does not matter what our geopolitical enemies want or do not want. We've been avoiding this fight since we bungled Reconstruction, honestly.
We fucking deserve it.
Yeah, don’t stand up against the fascists! Let them rule over you!
The obvious racism of this aside this is a direct consequence of data brokers and surveillance capitalism making it trivial and cheap to send out texts to minority women in Detroit. That’s an insane thing. Someone probably paid a pittance for these targeted texts.
Well much to my dismay I actually read the article and surprise surprise Fox 2 is just regurgitating Reddit post without doing any actual fucking journalism. Great job team.
It seems like soon enough, we will all just be blocking everything except contacts from messages and calls. It is absolutely ridiculous how much spam and fraud is sent, and how easily our data is mined and sold.
My question is where can we buy lists of Trump supporters so we can find easy ways to ~~leach money from them~~ market products
I already block all non-contact calls and messages, well, I filter them out and check them every few days to make sure nothing important has happened. Just like my spam folder in my email. If I let spam calls actually ring-through on my phone it would drive me insane because I get at least a dozen bullshit calls a day.
A black friend of mine got it as well.
Hot damn, burn it all down.
