I upvoted both comments, because I’m torn on this

“well go do it”

Bugs me too. They don’t seem to realize the complexity of it.

Yeah, large formations wouldn’t work, but I don’t understand your lone gunmen comment. How would individuals form a resistance within a surveillance state? The surveillance state’s powers are currently being revamped with greater mass analysis abilities. The difficulty in organizing a resistance beyond protesting will probably mean more individuals taking drastic actions on their own, than if organizing was easy.

Yeah, a civil war of mass action will never happen, and if it did happen, the left would be crushed with millions of casualties. The great majority of the violent power is in fascist hands. They will command 80%+ of the military and civilian police forces. The majority of civil armament, training, and callous disregard for life is on the right. Those somewhat in the middle will shift rightward when their friends and families who are military and police get attacked.

The MAGA base, cops and military are mostly idiots or brainwashed zealots. They are used as pawns. They are not the puppet masters.

Attention needs focused on the Epstein class.

Who should be the targets of this non-violent direct action? Who are the players?

Interviewer: Margaret Atwood, what are your thoughts on the trend in the US?

Atwood: I’m Canadian

Oh, they do trickle down on ya! Not with what want ya though

I bet those sales douches are happy with the bonuses they will get.

I don’t like sales dudes.

This is brilliant

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?

Yeah, EU countries really, REALLY, need to check themselves. Our human frailties are their frailties too. Their shit hole populace is rising. We are evidently go to start funding the parties that will be their demise.

So far, the response to what has been happening has not met the reality of the situation. If I was to bet at this moment, then I would bet that a large part of the EU is going to fall to fascism.

Yeah, many people do not realize what we are up against. There is a GIANT imbalance of violent power. Any violent resistance would be lone wolves, or small groups that may not be able to coordinate. Most people who give a fuck about everyone’s future will be shot, blown up, or jailed. Everyone else will feel bad, yet go along to get along. They will value their family’s comfort above everyone else’s. They probably won’t consider past grandchildren. They will consider their time overlapping their children’s and grandchildren’s lives, but no further. Their foresight is short, and selfish.

Oh, absolutely! He will stumbling blocks thrown at him from every which way. And then his lack of progress will be pointed at by the propagandists: “look at this Democratic Socialist who did nothing! Blah blah muslim blah blah blah”

The commercial-grade appliances at different kitchens where I have worked have needed repair calls, sometimes frequently with dish machines.

Metal geared power transmission can be designed with shear pins for a simple and cheap failure mode. Plastic is trash. Want quiet? Then use a gear profile other than straight.

Adams is a dickhole collaborator. I’m surprised the contract was only around $600k. How much so you think Adams got on top?

I wish Mamdani the best. There’s so much happening to be able to ingest it all, but so far he seems genuine. My natural glare of “what SHIT are you up to!??” has so far yielded nothing; Good. More!

Yeah, I feel my hypocrisy. I am trying to understand more, but my mind always ends up melting. Individuals I’ve met that maybe could do what I want done are a different breed from me. I am pushing myself to understand more, but I am pushing uphill and it will take years before I can achieve what probably so many all around the world could do now. While I sharpen myself, I ask: who were those in the V masks of years past?

Where are the hactivists?! Are they all too well employed?
