Was mad, but yeah, honestly true. It’s like when he renamed the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. A far more accurate reflection.

I can barely afford to pay attention, now they want 4x as much? Who the fuck can afford 4 * $0 in the current economy?!

Pacifists are selfish, evil, and often hypocritical. I find most modern “pacifists” have no issue with wielding violence, or supporting violence as long as that violence is abstracted to a third party such as the state while constantly deriding people who wish to defend themselves and loved ones from state violence.

Truth is these pacifists would happily see us in camps as long as they get to keep their smug attitudes, and platitudes while avoiding getting their hands directly bloody.

In the end pacifists always implicitly support the status quo.

It makes me sad and angry because I know the sooner we stop it, the less damage that is done, the less loss of life, the better our conditions can improve. I just see the U.S. in an abusive relationship, and the only ways out I know of such a relationship is either run or deal with the problem directly, sometimes both.

And having a place for a person/people to hide is still the right thing to do and is commendable. Every act of resistance matters, no matter how small one might judge it.

Anyway, good luck out there.

Ahh fair, my bad. And have already organized with my neighborhood in case ice shows up. Trying to get them to plan or do more has been difficult much for the reasons you said. Again, my bad on the misread.

Yes and that will only grow with time, which means sooner is better. And it still pales in comparison to the amount of manpower we can bring to the table. And we also can use drones, guns, and so on.

But hey, if you want to find more excuses to sacrifice other people’s lives for nothing other than your modicum of comfort and “safety”. Well that seems to be quite in tune with what oligarchs want.

If our government isn’t up to holding criminals responsible, then it needs to be replaced root to stem.

Again I don’t understand why we don’t sit down with our oligarchs and eat them…

Guess we need to sacrifice more children until we’re ready.

We honestly should organize as a citizenry, and encourage them to abdicate.

Thank you for your perspective. Much appreciated.

Which is difficult due to the many barriers put in by the two major parties to getting on the ballot. Many third parties spend a lot of their funds just trying to get on the ballot and defending against law suits put out by major party candidates. Leaves very little for campaigning or advertisement, relying almost solely on word of mouth and volunteers. And of course each state runs their own elections, so there is never a one size fits all solution. Plus, the rules are constantly changing and generally becoming more difficult.

Forgive my ignorance, I haven’t looked into the Working Families Party yet. Would you mind elaborating on and sourcing where your distaste comes from?

Then she never had a chance. And the DNC fucked up hard by putting her forward.

Quick: who’s got Mayor Mamdani on their team? THOSE guys seem to car about people.

The political equivalent of having a black friend just dropped.

We don’t have to be… We could just start taking out Billionaires and taking their wealth and assets through physical force. It certainly looks like a more attractive option by the day to me.

Of course they don’t care. The government no longer fears the people. The people are little more than livestock to The Epstein Class and their minions.

If you haven’t already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.

We already know the camps exist, and if you’ve seen some of the images that have been leaked you’ll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don’t even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it’s not just you in danger, it’s everybody around you. It’s your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.

Organize now, before you don’t have that option anymore.

Satire truly is a dead genre these days. Which I’m pretty sure that post above you is…

You know what it said? So you’ve read it?

First I knock on doors for the candidates I believe in, I’m probably one of the most participatory voters in my local area. I do the calls, I join in protests where I can, and am an active member of my community. If I wasn’t I certainly wouldn’t be pissed about the whole fucking thing. FFS, I’ve quite literally helped organize my neighborhood in case ICE shows up.

I get that you don’t like losing, so you imagine arguments you can fight against, but don’t you find it a bit pathetic you need to do that? Stick to what I said, not what imaginary me said in your head, please. Don’t assume shit about my life you haven’t even bothered asking me about, it just pisses me off, and makes you look like an idiot.
