They have a ‘Hate America’ rally that’s scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall,” the House speaker, Mike Johnson, said on Fox News on Friday. “It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the antifa people. They’re all coming out.”

On 18 October, tens of millions of people in the streets, peacefully exercising the democratic rights that the Trump regime is laboring to eliminate, will give the lie to Maga’s hallucinatory network of bomb-throwing traitors. No Kings will show America who the real haters are.

    You CAN’T “prove wrong” ideology/prejudice/“religion”,

    aka any AXIOM-BASED rejecting-of-falsification, belief.

    It isn’t possible because axioms aren’t subject-to-objectivity.

    They will either force violence, enforce violence, XOR/AND have false-flag actors in-place to “prove” their “fact”.

    It is a trap.

    Civil-rights are going to get at-least-partially rug-pulled as a result of Saturday’s protests.

    IF Trump can permanently-remove any threat of accountability, & permanently-deactivate the petition to get the Epstien-files released, HE IS GOING TO.

    Social-assertion isn’t fundamental-enough, or powerful-enough to do what the left is assuming it must do!

    ( the left obeys social-pressure: that’s left-culture!

    Which means that the left can’t understand when others don’t.

    That is why Naomi Klien had to publish “Saying No Isn’t Enough” … or whatever her book was called … because the left wasn’t GETTING it.

    Courts, sousveillance, private-investigating-and-prosecuting-right-crime, THAT could apply the kind of pressure required, but social-pressure’s the wrong too to produce the required-results.

    It’s a 1-way tool: it only works against the consensus-motivated left, not against the authority-and-conforming-enforcing right. )

    sigh

    Expect the left to find the “ground” they’re “standing on” to have been gutted, by next week.

    & the escalations will only continue progressing: this isn’t the BIG tipping-point, this is just one of the buildup ones.

    ( this was all built on the shit-quality “education” that the US’s the-rich-get-good-education-the-poor-don’t paradigm enforced, through the last … century+.

    It isn’t possible to save a country’s life if its population is “educated” into the lower-forebrain’s imprint->reaction paradigm, instead of the upper-forebrain’s objectivity + considered-reasoning paradigm:

    the only question left is which ideology will gain supremacism,

    not can-ideology-the-system-be-prevented-from-ruling-us. )

      It’s not even a buildup when we’re pumping up a tire with a hole in it. We’re just keeping it where it is.

      So I went to the first no kings and several of the other big “protests” that are really just big rally’s with police sanctioned marches, I don’t criticize those attending even though I was and am less than enthused by how anti disruptive and status quo the organizers insist on being. I’m not going to the big one in my state tomorrow because it feels like a trap this time. Just got a bad feeling

    My gut tells me it will be violent, let’s just hope the ones committing that violence have their court ordered body cams on.

      Bodycams “don’t work” in all such cases.

      The Breona Taylor case had the officers claim that there weren’t any bodycams present, but 1 of the pieces of evidence collected was the camera-head of a bodycam.

      The ACLU has published on this, after a case where FIVE bodycams were claimed by police to not-work, in an incident where they were accused of crime.

      Accountability never is allowed by authority, unless authority is coerced into accountability,

      & that goes throughout ALL civilization, not just state-authority ( business bosses, institutions which mutilate rights from the lives subject to them, family-abuse even! it’s fundamental to abuse’s leveraging-more-authority-for-itself, & police-services simply happens to be 1 place where people committed to it gain extra-advantage from doing-so. )

        I’m not sure what your point is. If I were a fascist government who wanted lawless police, I would like comments like yours and say “body cams don’t work so let’s get rid of them”.

          Bodycams work when there are automatic, & significantly-unpleasant penalties for “selective” activation, sabotage, losing them, etc.

          Unfortunately, you have to coerce the police into obeying the law.

          As cops say, & apparently you have to be laughing when you’re saying it…

          “it’s only a crime if you get caught!”

          which is incorrect, actually…

          It’s only a crime if you get convicted which is a whole different category…

          < sigh >
