Hm I see people getting radicalized in real time and getting themselves ready to suffer injury for their communities. I should act smug and superior to them because they're not planning to shoot a cop yet.

yeah, it's embarrassing this was posted here
I get the sentiment. But you should also understand that some of us are from the periphery and have lived under (or are still living under) the greatest immiseration machine in history, led by the US. From that position, it’s hard to be charitable toward the imperial-core “#resistance” model of angry parades and slogan-chanting. That approach has been used for at least two decades and has accomplished nothing. On top of that, a large share of these newly “radicalized” marchers don’t actually oppose imperialism at all, they just want the blue guy to give them back their treats and return to business as usual, where the periphery gets immiserated quietly and out of sight.
They were waving NATO and USAID flags at the hands off rallies lol
Not surprising in the least
It's kind of sad that even in their seeming rage they can't seem to even imagine fighting back in any meaningful capacity.
The following is my favorite comment. Favorite in that I felt like somebody had hit me hard in the torso with a sledgehammer.
I’ve already had the conversation with my sister about this who lives a few states east of us. I’m not going anywhere. I’m non-violent and won’t pickup arms, but I’m going to still be screaming at the top of my lungs with both middle fingers in the air. If the absolute worst case scenario happens I’d rather die one of the last free Americans than live in whatever the fuck comes next.
I won’t hold anything against anyone who bows out for whatever reason, but that isn’t me.
Fuck ICE, fuck tyranny, and fuck the nazis.

i wonder if it's more that everyone is just trained now not to get REMOVED BY REDDIT on that platform so they just keep their real thoughts to themselves
i wonder what it's like when they interact in person. i wonder if they discuss more radical options or not. but we won't know unless somebody is there to witness it
Yeah my guess is that if you have a more sober analysis of the situation and the risk you're probably not mouthing off about it on Reddit.
I'm on a three day sitewide suspension for replying "Considering the current state of the world, not enough" on a post in r/debatecommunism asking about how many people communism supposedly killed. It happened literally within seconds of me posting the reply, they've automated the shit out of bans with AI or something and that's obviously going to have an effect.
The level of indoctrination and delusion is insane. Even as they and everyone they care about is beat and murdered they cant even conceptualize taking any meaningful action. It's honestly terrifying how the average denizen of the Burger Reich is so comfortable under the boot.
or those posts get deleted instantly so it just leaves the ultra-pacifists intact. it works to drive helplessness as a side effect
Proud Redditor: "I regret that I have one—" bang-bang-bang-bang
ICE goon 1: "We shot him too early."
ICE goon 2: "Huh?"
ICE goon 1: "Isn't that - like - famous?"
ICE goon 2: "What's famous?"
ICE goon 1: "What he was saying. Don't you remember it from high school?"
ICE goon 2: "Yeah. No. I dunno. He's dead. Who cares. We got work lots more work to do. Seven more neighborhoods to sterlize before quittin' time." He sticks out arm horizontally and makes a fist.
ICE goon 1: "What are you doing?"
ICE goon 2: "You really are fuckin' green. Paper-scissors-rock for the money in his wallet."
I think it's more how they only do shit as like an individual catharsis thing. See if they're posting like this in 3 months. BLM was like this and then they're back to business as usual 3-4 months later. There's no party or organization to attach themselves to or, like, hold any sort of criticism of them if they go back to libbing out later.

I'm not banking on it by any means, but I'm HOPING once we finally get the Mandarin Mussolini out of office, whomever takes over will pardon people who were arrested for violence against ICE. That being said, it has to be SELECTIVE, unlike with J6, because people using it as an opportunity to encite violence don't deserve to get out. His blanket pardons (or any pardons period) should not have happened.
This guy says he was in the fucking military. My god. YOU WERE WILLING TO KILL NON-AMERICANS FOR MONEY.
You just dont understand the people of the periphery aren't people so he's allowedremoved, murder and pillage us for money.
This applies to all imperialist nations and settler colonies like Australia.
Definitely true I was just mainly addressing this particular set of incidents and their precedent.
I can't imagine taking up arms myself. I have no training and such a fear of violence. On the other hand I'm willing to fill any support role I can. From cyber warfare to medical assistance (not a doctor, but I can do first aid and take instructions) or delivering food or whatever else needs delivering.

They're going to be fuming and saying so many mean words as they watch the fascists kill everyone they love before killing them too
Liberals, being loaded onto a train: Umm, this is NOT going to be a good look for you in the lawsuit!!!
"Section four dash two six of the federal transportation code stipulates that there must be a toilet—"
"Oh! It looks like we got ourselves a lawyer!" - says the guard.
The lawyer suddenly looks very scared.
"Go on, now. Finish."
"...Are there toilet facilities in this train?"
"Yeah. Mike - point out the toilet facilities to Mr. Lawyer." Mike chuckles and points at some filthy buckets. The same guard says - "Do you have any other concerns or issues?"
"Um... No."
You just don't get it they'll vote blue next time and all the problems will go away. 
Have you not seen the fedposting? Its all over the MN reddits, especially in the smaller posts.
No I'm neither American or on reddit I was going entirely off what was provided.
they can't seem to even imagine fighting back in any meaningful capacity.
For those of you who are dismayed about such responses, might I direct your eyes to one thread where somebody remembered their 2nd Amendment rights.

Saw at least one person in the trenches suggesting Reform or Revolution and What is to be Done? to people
Now I feel guilty. I think the last time I talked to redditors about politics or anything related to politics was early 2024 maybe.
If you're thus mad take action. Dont just let them kick your fucking ass. Fuck.
are we shitting on people for refusing to fedpost
I think there is a distinction to be made between not fedposting and outright saying we're just gonna sit there peacefully as the fascists kill us all
i guess i didn't take it that way. op doesn't say anything about not fighting back, they just don't say explicitly that they will
First off no post would be better than this "I'm going to let the gestapo beat and murder me" post.
Second is there really no middle ground between this bs and fedposting? He couldn't have just said he would take to the streets he had to clarify that he would stand there like a complete loser and do nothing once there?
I am h*ckin cheesed off! ROYALLY cheesed!
despite what i just said this is pretty funny
🎵What am I supposed to make of people like you?🎵
Most of this isn't that bad, maybe the "engaging with the local police" is pretty fucking dumb, but I see a revolutionary in someone like this. So many people ready to be educated, who will otherwise be burned without revolutionary guidance.
