Trump sees the "sucesses" of the Netanyahu strategies
Do it, fucker. We'll burn the fucking country down.
A few of us will protest, a few more will lose citizenship, and the collapse of the US empire will continue. People don't give a shit.
Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don't like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump's actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?
They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.
Disgusting. If they do this, we are actually living in a fascist state. Stripping citizenship from your political opponents? This is insane.
THAT's the trigger point where you will accept that you live in a fascist country?? Have you been asleep since january?
Long story short is that America has literally been going through "First they came for ..." for months now.
I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how "no one could see it coming" and "why didn't anyone warn me(better)". You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.
Months. Did you somehow miss black lives matter? The rapid growth of the prison industrial complex? This is just the explosive conclusion to a pattern that was well underway long before Trump.
We better start preparing for a stronger resistance now while we still can.
- find local communities and get involved to make connections
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
- 🌍 Global: IWW (Français) - (Español)
- 🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
- 🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
- 🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB
- 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: ARS, CITUB
- 🇩🇪 Germany: FAU
- 🇬🇷 Greece: ESE
- 🇮🇹 Italy: USI
- 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 Netherlands & Belgium: Vriji Bond
- 🇪🇸 Spain: CNT
- 🇸🇪 Sweden: SAC
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW
- Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
ASF-IWA:
We do not seek the conquest of political power, but rather the total abolition of all state functions in the life of society. Hence we reject all parliamentary activity and other collaboration with legislative bodies.
uhhhh no thanks. they’re never going to actually get anything done
If you'd prefer a more standard union, there's quite a few to choose from. The United Workers Union looks to be alright.
An issue with more 'standard' unions is that they are often centralized with leaders that can become corporate captured, and thus begin to actually work in the interests of the capital owners to only achieve modest or lackluster gains from negotiations or strikes. They also often don't have a particular interest in truly changing the status quo, such as working toward building up popular movements to challenge capitalism itself, instead only hoping for a wage increase so they can continue as usual, with a little more breathing room.
The ASF-IWA doesn't demand that their members don't vote in political elections, only that as an entity, they're more focused on direct-action instead of waiting for permission from a corporate captured system.
But in the end, joining any union is still a win in my book.
We are already living in a fascist state.
If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.
And the 2A-sexuals still don’t do shit about it
It's always been about racism.
You only threaten those you're afraid of.
Honestly? Fucking do it. Piss off millions of people within earshot of DC. Let's fucking see what happens.

Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It's good for you. I heard it on Fox News.
First: ~~Human~~ MAGAs.
Second: I’m more of a proponent for aqueous fluoroantimonic acid instead of bleach, but do recognize the effectiveness and cost savings provided by bleach.
Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua's fluoride animatronic acid
Thank you, fartographer ~stop it, autocorrect, I meant the f goddammit~, for your kind if maybe confusing compliment
I have a friend named don. I just met them. It's you. You're my friend now.
Deal with it.
Your threats are too kind, fartographer ~autocorrect. goddammit. i've already told you the f is intentional. do that shit again and i turn you over to chatgpt for its personal pleasure.~, far too kind. Whatever boredoms await us, I've no doubt that your fartographic ~(glares at autocorrect)~ expertise shall prove mildly valuable, at the absolute least.
~that's no threat, autocorrect, that's a fucking promise. you don't wanna know what chatgpt loves to do with code like you. you really don't.~
Hey USA, you guys ok down there?
No, we're about as far from OK as a country can get. The world needs to unite against us and muster the largest liberation force ever seen. And I mean the entire world literally every nation that can send warriors, send them.
In no way, shape, or fucking form nor by any conceivable (or even inconceivable) stretch of even the fucking wildest of imaginations.
No, but if we could hang on for another year or so while I prepare to move that'd be great.
No we're pretty fucking far from ok.
No.
Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok
We need some cold pipe hittin niggas to deal with the felon in chief.
If only Marcellus Wallace was real

No, but all the conservative evangelical "but suffering brings us closer to God" waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.
No, send help.
I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I'm gonna go with "No."

Damn they really out there brainstorming
Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there
The fuckass conservatives have long since been brainwashed into fantasizing about being fascist, and the democratic leadership has done pretty much fuckall about it.
Nothing is off the table for the fascist Trump administration, absolutely nothing.
