"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

They're purging not only members of org but individual and group who are leftists. Also words from a sub member I mod, said they're mass banning Illinois leftist subs and suspended all mod accounts to suppress spreading news that Gestapo is raiding in Chicago. Also deployed in PDX.

They do so through a variety of fora, including anonymous chat forums, in-person meetings, social media, and even educational institutions.

feds "investigating" lemmygrad

It’s time to resistance comrades. Stay safe, organize yourself

[–] Maeve1@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 month ago

A Kwame lecture popped up on YT last night (I wasn't logged in so I've lost details) and the one thing that stuck with me besides anti LGBT rhetoric was that motivation means nothing without organization and that's why hard won rights during the 60s movements did not stick, and we have less rights today (I'm pretty sure this lecture was a couple of decades ago, too).

Something something Fascism was never really defeated and "Stalin didn't go far enough". Praying is useless but I'm still going to wish my American comrades (and all the people not in the Trump designated main group) safe and good luck in resistance and organizing.

I would do literally anything to get to Chengdu, now. I am literally begging.

It is easier to ask for political asylum in Russia. China is great to visit and they are very open to tourism but it is much harder to become a permanent resident there. Russia seems more open to taking people in who feel rejected by the West. For instance i recently read that a whistleblower who was forced to flee the US after accusing Biden of sexual assault and then getting wind that the FBI were about to arrest her and put her on a sham trial just got citizenship in Russia after being in exile there for a few years now.

I believe so. I didn't really follow that story much at the time when it happened in the US.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Tara Reade, right?

I also don't trust Russia.

I'm planning something to get me to China, though.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They'd have to arrest most of the country.

[–] isame@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No no. They can arrest most of the country. Whoever they wish.

[–] 2moons4hills@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Basically, what I'm saying is going to happen. And the private prison industry will make bank on imprisoning all of us....

[–] Solenoid@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 month ago (12 children)

Then we organize the prisons. We will never stop until victory ✌️

No, they have to loudly arrest the most vocal people and the rest will fall into line.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 month ago

well...they don't concern about little details like factibility

Welp. That’s my cue to delete reddit once and for all.

Can someone share that anonymizing tool that people use to scramble all their old reddit comments before deletion?

When I used the previous version I remember needing to run it a bunch of times because it would only shred maybe 50 elements before quitting to prevent rate limits or something.

Seems like a pretext for setting off a civil war.

I don’t want to sound hyperbolic but the plain truth is that NSPM-7 is a declaration of war on anyone who does not support the Trump administration and its agenda. Yes, it repeats the word “violent” over and over to purport only to go after citizens who are moved to take up arms, but it also directs monitoring and intelligence collection to map and target the new “evildoers,” to borrow a Bush label he took from the Bible just days after 9/11.

The partisan focus couldn’t be more obvious.

Or I suppose just a pretext to crack down on opposition, period.

But the end result may be civil war because this is so broad, it can encompass anyone and everyone. It's basically a blueprint for a Christo-Fascist, white supremacist ethno-state.

If shit hits the fan, just know that I'm glad I came here. I got to learn and find some comfort in the declining empire. You know, sometimes when I'm at the store and I'm feeling down, I'll see a little kid, smiling about who knows what and it boosts my mood right up. They're so precious and fascinated by everything, and so vulnerable and in need of care. A reminder of what it's all about. I try to keep in view that's who we're fighting for, the ones who are most in need. Not as moral panic or patronizing proclamation, but as real material aid.

The oppressor would like for you to think they're good and wholesome. That they care about family. While they separate migrant children from their parents, bomb family lines out of existence in other countries, and let their own people die in poverty. They are, and have always been, frauds. And the mask is gradually being thrown out and grinded into paste.

This ain't good agony-shivering

[–] GhostHeart93@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This really is the final straw for me. I have no friends in the rural, conservative area I live, no political groups that align with me, social anxiety, and now a list like this is going around. I’ve never owned a gun before, but it’s not an option anymore. Safety was always an illusion, but that’s over now.

[–] strwbrry_pie@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago

I'm in a similar situation, and am currently looking at getting a gun as well; the anxiety has gotten so bad I hardly feel safe even stepping out of my house anymore. Wishing you the best, stay safe comrade. ✊ ❤️

  • extremism on migration,
  • extremism on race,
  • extremism on gender

We’re to be migration, race, and gender centrists?

[–] Red_Scare@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 month ago

I think that's the point of this language, to include "extreme" feminists, antifascists, and black liberation movements.

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)
  • extremism on race,
  • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

Whoooah, can’t have it both ways there, little buddy!

[–] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

No, it tracka. Extremism on race is expecting equality.

[–] darkernations@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 month ago

surely there won't be people who will try to fight violently given that the democracy pill was thrown in the garbage...drones and massive vigilance didn't save kirk, didn't save the ceo of unitedhealthcare...trump is playing a risky game...

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Basically anybody under 40 lol

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

Especially since it doesn't distinguish between which extreme. (yes I know it's implied anything leftish but as written Charlie Kirk could be taken out by it)

[–] TrueStalinistPatriot@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"extremism on gender/race/migration" they're going to shot themselves!? ALHAMDULILLAH!!

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 month ago

Stay safe out there, usonian comrades.

[–] blobii@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Holy shit.

To all the liberals who say trump isn’t a fascist. Fuck you. Social-fascist traitors.

And good luck and stay safe, Amerikan comrades. 💜
