I am just waiting to see the mental gymnastics the regular US people will go through when they will be asked to fight vs EU people and they will just go with it.

Hey there. I dunno if this is the best place to ask, or post, but I have to start somewhere. First, I feel that I can no longer use Reddit. It's a Seppo (that's Aussie rhyming slang, in case you don't know, that I just find particularly suitable to refer to the asshats who live south of us: "septic tank") site. I am getting on in years -- almost 62 -- so I probably am not going to become a guerrilla fighter out on the field, but I am looking for people who may be starting to form groups to fight against any possible invasion. I could provide a safe house (safe suite, more like), store ingredients, or materiel, what have you. It may sound, odd, what I am asking about, but the US is now a failed state run by an immoral, bent group of fascists (led by Stephen Miller: Trump is merely a puppet, simply too stupid and demented to formulate any ideas on his own). The citizens of the former US are too weak and dim, as a populace, to realise that, but that is what it is.

On another note, anyone who supports the cons and Skippy is a traitor and cannot be trusted. I am in Edmonton, by the way, so any rebel groups forming in this region would be what I am looking for, at the moment. I am planning to leave, in the next 18 months, as the Quislings who reside in Alberta are too numerous to deal with. Any true Canadian should really be thinking about and preparing for the worst. Remember history: people started fleeing Austria when Hitler came into power next door. Not sure I have that finances to do that, so best to get ready for invasion.

Oh, as an aside, but a relevant one, yes, I do reside in Alberta, but I have lived in two other countries, have become a naturalised Dutchmen (I have dual citizenship), have travelled the world, and, politically, would describe myself as an anarcho-communist. So, not all of the people who have the misfortune of currently residing in this dubious province are cons.

Americans know. They just don’t have any idea what to do, and no single person can solve the problem.

It might take the world.... Going to war.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 109 points 1 week ago (16 children)

The world doesn't need to go to war, it needs to stop being afraid of a major economic downturn.

Stop everything with the US: trade, travel, everything. Deport all Americans back to their native soil. Isolate them, and see how quickly things change.

While we're at it, do the same with Russia and Israel. And maybe China?

Would it cause a global economic crisis? Probably. But people are already dying—it's worth it if we can actually end a genocide and a couple wars.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 43 points 1 week ago (6 children)

So much this. Just 100% stop all trade with the United States. All of it. And zero travel. Then ban US travel to your country. Give them the isolation they crave.

There are many who actually believe the midterms will solve this.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 47 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I don't, but also I'm fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You've got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won't solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.

Venezuela should have been the line. Want to make it Greenland? So, they can take mexico, Cuba?

Each inch they take is too much. They have proven that they are following the Fascist guidebook.

Venezuela is the first step. Same as Hitler with Poland.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago

No one, absolutely no one will come defend Greenland, not even Denmark. They would have to send F35 to defend it, with their missions entry going through a server… in the US!! (And these geniuses doubled down, ordering more F35 last october, and they just ordered more military equipment from the US!).

No NATO member will declare war to the US.

The only option they would have is to immediately build a military base in Greenland with forces from all European countries, ready to fight. And then, MAYBE Trump will think twice before invading it.

You don't get it.

The people posting shit like that WANT TO KILL.

They are bloodthirsty. They are warmongers. They want a bodycount.

There's nothing more to realize about the joke because it's not a joke.

America is ruled by murderers.

Fantasy: The People will revolt due to the already terrible conditions worsening before that

More realistic hopium: We'll remove Republican control from the house before then

Miller is the ghoul behind a lot of the worst of what the government is doing. Trump is bad, but he’s an idiot. Miller knows what he’s doing and has a plan.

This is done because there are no consequences, no repercussions. A convicted felon and rapist is in charge instead of in jail. The checks and balances of their system have long since failed.

I'd like to cite the last two definitions given by Shoshanna Zuboff for surveillance capitalism:

7. A movement that aims to impose a new collective order based on total certainty; 
8. An expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above: an overthrow of the people’s sovereignty.

We know it's not a joke. The three most populated cities in the US are in deep blue states and full of people who don't want this. For everyone in those cities, it would take days and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, to travel to the White House. Most of us are behind on rent, have had our cars repossessed, don't make a living wage, don't have healthcare, and have unsustainable credit card debt.

Outside of a very vocal minority, the American people are overwhelmingly united around the fact that we don't want this to happen.

However, the American people aren't in control of the American government, and the American government are overwhelmingly united around corporate interests.

American propaganda agents should be hunted down and butchered.

Bannon saying he's gonna give Ireland a trump should get his ass in the space station with Mountbatten.
