This is an open problem for advocates of the Dark Enlightenment theory (Wikipedia) like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin.
One of the most commonly discussed solutions is to surgically implant explosive devices into the bodies of your lead security force.
We tried that. We had a whole national protest movement, it lasted a year, millions of people were in the streets with the explicit goal of lowering police budgets.
Despite all of that effort, no police budget was defunded. Most police budgets have continued to increase. ICE funding has drastically increased.
So what's your plan to do something different? From where I'm sitting, the "let's kill cops" camp is more realistic than the "let's try the George Floyd protests again, maybe politicians will listen to us this time" camp.
And history shows us what happens after the US Navy gets kicked in the nuts. The US kills hundreds of thousands of people. Sometimes millions.
support the DNC vocally
Why should we support the DNC when the leadership of the DNC is supporting Trump's war crimes?
Read the responses from Jeffries and Schumer- they aren't the opposition party, they are manufacturing consent for this 'military operation'.
If we actually want to change the situation we need to fix the DNC, not blindly support it.
Secessio is a great start to a proud history of workers fighting for their rights, but history tends to clean up the details.
I always wonder how many scabs stayed back in Rome.
If you're really into Catholic lore and mythology, then yes, the Pope's word holds a lot of weight. They believe in papal infallibility, which means that when the Pope meets certain very specific criteria, he is literally speaking for God and is thus perfect and unquestionable.
Regular normie Catholics? They believe in the Pope the same way they believe in the Bible: it is the true word of God, but it's too much of a bother to actually read it. They're never reading papal edicts, they're just reading news headlines about the pope like everyone else.
Suicidal thoughts in response to this news is really concerning. From what I understand, you aren't being personally affected by this news. Go take care of yourself. Touch grass or do whatever you need to do.
I think it will help to have a broader perspective. The US spends over $1 trillion each year on violence. When the bombs stop, then profits drop, and this is not acceptable to the capitalist class. When we stopped spending $60bln in Afghanistan, we instantly started spending $60bln in Ukraine. Now Ukraine is winding down, we will spend it on Venezuela. After that, Panama? Greenland? Cuba? Mexico? This cycle will continue until the military industrial complex is dismantled. That is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes.
You are on the ethically correct side, and that matters. I find inspiration in the many generations of people who fought against slavery in the US. So many people, so many generations fought to end slavery, and most did not live to see the successful end. We must continue to fight, even if we do not see success in our lifetimes, we lay the groundwork for future generation's success. We owe it to them.
And if you do choose to end yourself, I respect your bodily autonomy, but please make sure you are of sound mind when you make that very serious decision. And consider following in the holy footsteps of Saint Luigi of Baltimore.
Perry Bible Fellowship is not low effort, newspaper quality, nor rage bait.
Maybe OP is a repost bot or plant or whatever, but PBF is a top-tier internet comic.
The Iraq War didn't end when we killed Saddam, that was really only the beginning.
Why would they sell? US bonds are welfare for rich people; it's a guaranteed solid ROI that underwrites their riskier investments.
I think it would take a crash of the global financial system to fundamentally change the logic of the bond market. We haven't seen a crash that devastating since WWII.
We can agree that there will most likely not be a mass popular uprising for Maduro and Chavism.
I believe there will be a mass popular uprising against Trump and the puppet government of Machado.

“You want to know what this was really all about?
The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
-John Ehrlichman, President Richard Nixon’s domestic policy chief
