To be honest I don't think all of the downvotes are legitimate, I'm sure the pro-Russian and pro-Chinese are tipping the scales in these discussions to promote violence whenever possible.

This administration has been promoting violence. We are promoting self defense.

What you're promoting and what the Trump admin wants align pretty well enough. What's going to happen if you don't have as much public support as possible, is not riding in like the cavalry and scaring the ICE off, far from it, those ICE offices will end up staying open and Trump will use the excuse to grab as much local authority as possible.

If you want to close those offices, for good, then you need the people of the cities, the judges, the city hall, as many people as possible to call for the closure and for the Police Department to enforce those rulings. If you don't think that's possible, look to Portland right now for inspiration: they're out tonight in the thousands.

And then they'll start doing this:

You know what the Trump admin wants more than armed resistance? No resistance at all.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That you can't process such a simple concept as gaining a majority support to resist with, that you consider anything other than run and gun action shooter scenes as "no resistance" is almost pitiable.

Not what was said at any point. Try again.

That would make sense. Explains all these tough-guy keyboard warriors calling everybody cowards while also not doing anything about it themselves...

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

The reality is that they are scared and they are privileged.

They've never felt helpless before. They've never actually been impacted by the horrors that others... kind of just live with. To them? Cops are the enemy but they are also who you call when your neighbor's party is a bit too loud.

So they had their first experience of fear and helplessness. And they need to DO SOMETHING about it. Which makes them think of all their role models like John McClane and John Rambo and John Halo. Maybe they've even shot a gun a few times and figure they know what they are doing. They're gonna do something and they're gonna do it all by themselves and anyone who doesn't is a coward.

But also, episode 8 of Stranger Things is tonight so maybe next month? But all you fuckers who are talking about maybe talking to organizers and getting involved with their community? THOSE are the real cowards!

Oh so you’re paying for my cross country ticket then.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pay for my ticket to the other side of the country. You won’t.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 days ago

That's not my responsibility and a really nice cop out on your part.

"Oh, I can't do anything about it, because some random stranger on the internet didn't pay for my flight. But it's not because I'm a coward, no not that. I'm brave. I would totally overthrow the fascists if only that one stranger would have bought me a plane ticket."
