Texas GOP fleeing during a Weather emergency: (silence)
Texas Democrats fleeing to stop gerrymandering: Send in the goons
Granted, they were going to send in the goons no matter what. Don't be surprised when ICE is called on to use that ridiculous budget for things like this.
Hold on let me look up what "brown shirts" were.
The Gross Old Pedophile party never seemed to have a problem with fleeing from votes in the past.
The fight for poor air quality!
calling out repugnican hypocrisy has never amounted to anything but a waste of time and energy, they literally possess no shame
americas only option left now is riots. protests aren't working, the elites don't care unless their lives are threatened. it's sad but true. this isn't going to change or go away with hand holding. history has proven the only way to remove fascist regimes is violence. that's the truth. fascist don't care for your vote, they don't care about you, they will and are taking all your rights and voices away to maintain power and control. this is 1000% happening in the US right now. right this second. this isn't a warning of what could happen, it's literally happening. and there's only 1 way out now. and it's not pretty.
Riots are loud and obvious. Direct action should also incorporate quiet subtle tactics, like sabotage.
Honestly, one of the most patriotic things someone could do right now would be to sign up for ICE and then deliberately be the most incompetent work-to-rule ICE agent they possibly can. Be a net negative to ICE's operations.
Yes, but if there ever is a reckoning, good luck proving you were one of the good ones
Nuremberg trials 2. Electric boogaloo
While there's a riot going on to distract the pigs
we've protested in one location, but we haven't protested in a bunch of locations at once at the same time. not one 10000 person protest, but 10 1000 person protests
50501, No Kings protests, Hands Off our Democracy protests… we have done several simultaneous protests across all 50 states at the same time with No Kings having over 5 million protesters nationwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests
I have slept maybe four hours this month so i'm explaining poorly, but the idea is less "let's have five hundred protests across the united states" and more "let's have five hundred protests across Chicago so it overwhelms the ability of emergency services to respond to the protests, and scale that up proportionally across the united states". I have counted two protests in my county in the last eight months. It has more than ten municipalities.
Ah, now I get it! Very valid and useful idea. Perhaps holding up crosswalks throughout the city? Only takes 2 people to definitely slow traffic and cause a nuisance at each intersection. If this were replicated sporadically throughout the city all at the same time… I can see it.
Not American so take this with a grain of salt: organised civil disobedience is always an option. They can’t force you to work and it hits them right in the wallet, which is all that matters for the ruling class.
Riots should be a very last resort (e.g if they instigate it)
Every major digital platform is marginalizing progressive organization right now, we need a better way to organize
Riots? Lol try full blown civil war of you want to stand any chance now.
I can't tell you how many times I've been banned for saying this over the last four years
I'm gonna doubt you were banned for the content of that thought. It was probably something else.
Nope, but you sure are an asshole for assuming so
You just said it and weren't banned unless you're talking about Reddit. Also didn't mean it in bad faith. Could have been misconstrued or tone, or something else.
I'm sure OP didn't mean it but comparing anything happening with dem politicians to the underground railway amounts to denialism of white supremacy and the enslavement of African people.
African people were forcibly removed from their homes. Their descendants were owned from birth. Both were forced to perform labor of various sorts and lived cradle to grave without any semblance of legal rights at all. This was heritable, passing from mother and/or father to all children. It was not only illegal for a white person to assist them to exist the situation, it was legally required to prevent them from doing so. Which is to say nothing of the penalties on any Black person caught escaping or assisting an escape.
The underground railway was a system of attempting to assist a class of people to gain freedom in defiance of every law and social convention, one person at a time. It was an act of racial, class and national treachery far beyond anything I've ever heard any democrat even contemplate.
Therefore, comparing any contemporary situation serves only to diminish the gravity of the underground railway. Which was not just about going somewhere else for political reasons.
Need a different analogy.
Wait until ICE has been fully converted to Brownshirts via extremest recruitment and equipped with their billions of dollars of military surplus gear. You’ll have legislators zip tied to chairs on the floor under armed guard to reach quorum.
Looks like American heroes to me.
When the state orders illegal arrest warrants, what to do?
"Captain! CAPTAIN! They're shooting at us!"
I know, easy enough to say, but we have to draw a fucking line in the sand and say, "My life is worth giving to fight fascism." America is not some foreign land, the goals here are not nebulous political objectives. The enemy is at the gates.
Loads of "funny" posts around here about how no one wants to live this life any longer. Not so fucking funny when faced with death, actual black, endless nothing. Been there done that, never been so scared. But facing death a couple of times does give one perspective. In any case, I will not live in fascist America. I. Fucking. Refuse.
Also, I'm middle-aged, easier for me than a young man with a full life ahead. But for me, in my place, I am a fucking pit viper vs. these animals. Do not stir me. Yeah, I said it, these fascists are subhuman to my mind. I'm not waiting on excuses, I am actively looking for excuses.
Gave my MAGA neighbor the Nazi salute I give every single time I pass his house. LOL, got the cops called on me for calling him a fascist and his wife a fat-ass Nazi cunt. When he came stomping down here to kick me ass, he had no idea how close I came to ending his life on this street. Florida is "stand your ground"! Isn't that what the conservatives wanted? My brown, legal, immigrant wife, "stop that". I refuse. "No, this fucker needs to know that despite his friends and family and FaceBook echo chamber, some of us will fight him, he is my enemy."
While this strategy won't help fascism overall, I also have no alternative option for you. I can see why you're driven to rage.
