They have absolutely no respect for any other culture or country’s boundaries so why the fuck should anyone else “butt out” (respectfully lmao) of theirs? Fuck off.
You tell 'em!
The US uses my country as a glorified military base, so I’ll say whatever the fuck I want.
That outburst is going to cost you another 3 barely functional submarine purchases.
I’m about to eat a nuclear sub I swear to ya mutha
Yeah, Everywhere revolutions just famously worked when a bunch of people marched for a couple of weeks. No one got shot or imprisoned for decades, no one was sent to siberia to starve. no massed crowds were fired upon on any famous steps.
It worked out well for these guys:
(But I think they may have also done some other stuff too)
it’s called a long march because they marched for a long time
Kill squad gets sent to city, “we cant become violent or they will send kill squads!”
What does this clown think will happen anyway? One to many snowballs get thrown and Trump sends the marines to indiscriminately murder civilians?
Kill squad gets sent to city, “we cant become violent or they will send kill squads!”
There’s a simple answer. “Sure they killed someone in cold blood, but they won’t kill me”, so they oppose escalation. The situation in the US is deteriorating, but the subjective and objective reasons for revolution and what that implies to be appealing aren’t present… yet.
Right. As long as people can stay home and be “safe” with their treats why would they stick their necks out? We’re a deeply individual society so there’s no sense of community or solidarity with those other people.
Also, people need there to be order and things to calm down so they can get back to work and make money for their chicken tendies
They also likely can’t imagine actually killing any targets that remove some of the danger against themselves, but always imagine violence as like random killings and destruction because that’s how American media always depicts anti-government/worker resistance to things, especially during protests.
The idea that you could remove an ICE agent and be safer as a result, i.e. what happened to Good, doesn’t cross their mind.

AmeriKKKan exceptionalism.
We do not get to physically fight back, because we will be killed or disappeared.
As if that’s different from every other fucking place.

American exceptionalism but the exceptionalism is cowardice apparently.
“Opps, nothing but cowards”
Unless someone assembles an army, we cannot fight back
President Xi, my people yearn for freedom
They don’t think people get shot in other countries because those aren’t people.
The average Amerikkkan is such a pathetic sack of shit it’s genuinely incredibly impressive how the system was able to completely lobotomize and neuter such an immense portion of the population that they will continue to “but both sides bad” and lick government boots that are actively beating and murdering them and their neighbors.

So deluded. Just showing their whole ignorant ass. Their barbaric mobs, our sober democracy.

Fair enough! So you’re actively pushing for a people’s militia, or other organised armed resistance, right?
In all fairness, it is slightly different in that they’re in the imperial core. Not that they have this level of analysis, but things like this can feel more dangerous and certainly a lot more pointless when your enemy has billions of dollars at their disposal on your doorstep.
Well when they conscript you libs into the army so you can start goose stepping into my country, then I’ll be the one who kills you.
Do you know what other country didn’t have a mass organized resistance movement, of their own peoples, and ended up being put down by an outside force?
1 particular example comes to mind.
Unfortunately I’m not really sure what Americans can do. I mean we all know what is to be done, but can you think of any way to actually organize people? I can’t think of an outsider that would be capable of stopping them, even if they wanted, either.
Russia had a mass disorganised movement in the Narodniks. They all got shot, but the getting shot was needed for the revolution to happen.
I am sorry, but that does sound like
We can’t just wait for people to die. How is that helpful? There’s been enough gun violence already, it has to stop.
I will push for pressure on companies that help ICE. Money talks and we can work in our workplaces to get ICE-supporting vendors out. It’s still pretty lib but it is something that I can ask anyone to do and more importantly, feels “safe” enough that people might actually do it.
But like others said the real answer starts with some tech-free strolls through the woods with comrades you can trust. Definitely not things to discuss on public forums.
CW: self-harm
I really want a gun but also don’t because I’m afraid I’d use it on me before someone else. Sigh
I think you’re misunderstanding me. My point is descriptive, not prescriptive. It’s that the cycle of violence and radicalisation isn’t going to stop, whatever we do there’s no path back to stability.
I get what you’re saying and while you can’t change people’s conditions you can educate them on how they can act.
There’s a reason the first thing they go after is education. And there’s a reason why Americans love violence and hate learning.
Giving every man woman and child in America a firearm is less threatening, to them, than teaching these people how to read.
I thought opposing the government was exactly why their 2A rights are so precious and important
The Second Amendment was created to form militias to genocide Natives and brutalize Blacks, so it is working as intended.
well regulated militias :smuglord:
