  • I’m gonna lead with I understand your concerns, these are extremely scary times. We’re getting our turn to live through history and I hate it. I just wanted to work with computers, get high, high, and play RuneScape. Now I have to fight for my life.

    All you guys are right to want it, and I’d agree you are justified, but the rest of the county I don’t feel has your back yet like they should.

    I agree with this completely. The majority are still pretending things are normal. But I don’t think it’s much different than the majority of people being against the Black Panthers, despite them being a necessary part of the civil Rights movement. The promise of violence always behind the peace is necessary for fascists imo. And a violent clash between the regime and it’s people might finally wake people up.

    Where do we go if stuff really does pop off? The ocean? Some of you guys are boxing us in.

    I understand the want to run. I started applying all over Ireland and Canada as soon as Trump won. But then I started a tight nit food bank in my llil town here. And I got on the library board. And I started hearing my coworker/friend’s concerns about having a son right as all this takes place. And I realized fuck these fascists. I’m needed here, people like me are needed here. So I completely get the fear but no one is coming to save us but ourselves. If you’re anything like me you keep asking. Won’t someone do something. And the plane answer is no , not unless you do it .

    Things are going to pop off at some point. It’s just a matter of when. I fully encourage you to take to the street with the rest of us, I promise you are not alone.




  • And the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those

    I disagree, not anymore anyway. Sure Vietnam was a wholesale loss. But while the US failed to institute a lasting democracy in Afghanistan, their KD is like 1:200. In 20 years of occupation they lost under 3000 troops. That is with logistics supplying the force on the other side of the world. That’s actually a crazy accomplishment and show of power.

    While the military might not be able to “win” if they fully side with trump, America in for a long and bloody (mostly bloody for the civilians) occupation.



  • She was offering 50k tax breaks to small business and 20k down payments for first time home buyers, great on paper. But 70% of Americans work paycheck to paycheck, so they can’t utilize that. And her healthcare for all became healthcare for some became expanding the ACA. So no help for the majority of people.

    And when asked if she’d change anything, she declined. But then suddenly changed her mind and said she’d add a Republican to the cabinet. Further alienating the 70% of people that work paycheck to paycheck and anyone who understand what Republicans are. Can’t forget parading around with good ol Liz too. Really winning with that one.

    When asked the simple question of “Should trans people exist?” Her answer was they should follow the law. Disgusting. Unwilling to acknowledge sometimes right to exist in hopes of courting centrists. Instead pushing away both sides.

    Her and Biden continued the genocide despite loud outcry from progressives. If progressives are such a tiny a faction that they aren’t worth catering to with policy, then you can’t be mad when you didn’t get their vote. And if you think it’s their fault the Dems lost then you should still be mad at the Dems for alienating them.

    Honestly I agree with you that the US got what it deserved. But not because of its vote, rather because what we’ve become. Your options are continuing the status quo (ya know that one with 70% of people being pay check to pay check) or fascism. There was no right choice for most people. And I find it funny how privileged libs are to think there was.




  • Racism is an issue. It’s also a symptom of the problem. It’s used as a tool to pit the working class against each other.

    Head on over to Beattyville, Kentucky or Ironton, Ohio and tell them how privileged they are because they’re white, I’m sure that will get then on your side. Most Jobless drug addicts living in hovels. No chance for any prosperity but at least they’re “privileged.”

    I guarantee if you reach out a hand and tell them you were left behind by this country too they’ll be more receptive to marching with you.

    It’s a class war, always.







  • How about if observation is just the initial way to way to sell the drone cloud? Depending on how cheap you can make them, there’s an argument to made for reducing time-to-intercept for low-speed aerial objects. If you’re content to prioritize executive safety over public saftey, there’s a lot that can be done.

    This isn’t something I’ve ever considered, I hate it! 🤣 Essentially a light weight, personal, iron dome. Considering the great lengths Putin goes through to protect himself from his own military, I could see the mango and friends doing this.

    Hell imagine if they made the drone cloud then took Israel’s “Gospel”, slapped that into them and create a full blown Big brother. Sure it just recommends targets now, but with more training from two fascist states it could become something much worse.

    I hate this timeline.
