I sincerely hope you’re right and stay safe.

I would love journalists to rake discord over the coals for this and have them explain exactly how they think that this mentality is acceptable in the current political climate. Of course they won't because journalism is dead these days.

They can also lick my taint, eat my shit, and drink my piss.

If you're over 18, your too old for them.

This you?

Under fascism anything they don't like is retrospectively illegal. I'm surprised you don't know that.

I read a speculation somewhere that DHS want to declare all opposition to their activities as domestic terrorists and then remove their right to vote. There have been multiple articles detailing how the people who follow agents around and report their location are served papers later declaring them to be domestic terrorists and then they are placed on a no fly list. I'm sure more is to come. Reportedly, all the agents use facial recognition cameras to sweep the crowds for logging in a database, but another report suggests that the recognition part isn't working so well.

Terrorism is going to become so hot this year.

Stand-up. Fight back.

Anti fascism

Speaking the truth about the fascists in power.

Laws don't matter anymore, there is no more order. They are not being followed, and the ones used to hard you are being made up.

Gotta have lists ready for when the new larger camps are open. Haha?

It was always projection. They accuse their enemies of what they themselves wanted to do.

Rights for me, rules for thee!

No, what will happen is they'll use an LLM to analyze the data.

The LLM will falsely tag millions of people.

There will be some notable wrong arrests, and then six months later those people, after having their lives ruined, will sell their stories. They don't have the intelligence, manpower, or discipline to parse this data intelligently or accurately.

And if it makes you feel better, consider how many contexts the word 'Ice' can be used in.

Move to smaller instances. There was a huge problem with everybody being on like four big instances and the whole point of federation is you don't have to be like that.

Move to instances hosted on a laptop in someone's basement in Peru with like 106 users or something. Make the fascists work for it, if you all conglomerate on one big host then they've got an easy target and you've got a massive single point of failure.

Looks like it's hosted by Cloudflare.

That’s the scary part! To what degree do you have to be anti-ice to get on their radar?! Protester? Shit talker? Meme sharer?

To be fair, the dems also want, and use, authoritarian levers these days. Also, historically, they've been very ineffectual when it comes to pushing through progressive items -- see the USA as the only advanced economy without public healthcare as an easy example, or them being the only country without basic gun laws.

Heck, one of the very few legit points Trump made in the one weaksauce debate he had with Biden, was along the lines of "If tariffs are so bad, why'd you guys leave all the tariffs in place from my first term?". If there's an election, and if they win, I doubt the dems will really do all that much.

Idk. To me it's starting to look increasingly like there are irreconcilable differences between what the majority seem to want, and what a small rich minority wants. There are maga dads shooting their daughters, in maga states, over political shit, and they get let off by their maga jury. You've got red state ICE troops deploying to blue state cities explicitly to terrorize the population -- those same troops are shooting people in the streets with zero accountability, protected by a group of people who are increasingly looking like ultra rich pedophiles of a very depraved sort. A group of individuals who are basically Americas ruling class, with likely ties between their pedophile island crimes, to Israel and Russia, and the USA's unquestioning support of the atrocities being committed on the other side of the world.

It's really difficult to picture what you'd need to do as a politician, to 'make this right' for the people in blue states/cities. If the people demand accountability for all the shit that's gone on, it'll enrage the right further. If you don't hold them accountable, well everyone's seen the result of not holding Trump accountable for the Jan 6 insurrection -- it just gets worse and worse. They're already at a point where they're shooting dem civilians in the streets with impunity, and with 'righteous fury' automatically labelling these people terrorists/enemies of the states. Even using AI to alter photos of protesters to feed the propaganda machine.

Really feels like there's increasingly a chance for a civil war in the usa.
