Yeah, “warhead” just means it’s the armed portion of a device. It’s a pretty broad umbrella category with multiple sub-classifications that cover everything from CS gas grenades, to flashbangs, to nukes.

I live in small town Washington, population 2k, and we also had around 300 people show up in the rain to protest. In the rain!

I’m in a small town, and we had all of three hecklers show up. They just stood there pathetically, called us communists, and looked more and more nervous as more and more protesters showed up. They fucked off pretty quick.

A bunch of people flipped us off, and one person tried to roll coal on us, but it was pretty pathetic. His truck wasn’t set up to roll coal, so it wound up looking like he was trying to intimidate us with his car problems. Quite a lot of laughter was had, and I imagine he wasn’t happy with that outcome at all.

Overall, most of the passerby were supportive, and we didn’t have any problems.

imo, we were sunk when Ford pardoned Nixon

I guess, if that’s more important to you than all the other horrible shit she’s done.

I’m predicting that there’s going to be a weird amount of red votes for midterms

So you do understand why nobody’s talking about their antifascist actions online. Why you’ve gotta actually show up to group meetings before you hear about it.

You said earlier there weren’t any because all you saw were furries dancing, and that you didn’t show up to the group meetings. You’re not seeing antifascist action because you’re being lazy.

Okay, so if setting up mutual aid isn’t fighting fascism, what have you been doing to fight fascism so I can learn from your example

TIL the people who hid jews in the attic weren’t fighting fascism.

How is more than doubling in size in less than a month “not gaining ground”?

I get a feeling that our mutual aid network and plans on how to protect the immigrant community in my neighborhood if ICE shows up aren’t what you’d consider “real action” either.

I don’t think any action will be enough to satisfy you, and if there was, you’d just say I’m lying. I cannot convince you if you do not want to look farther than your own preconceptions.

My apologies, I thought it was obvious that we’re talking about organizing against MAGA here.

I guess I’m not understanding what you’re expecting. What do you need to see before you consider a resistance org valid?

Edit: Actually, I just looked through the thread and you never actually asked me the question you’re accusing me of dodging. I don’t think you’re operating in good faith here, so have a nice day.

Two questions.

One, why would corporate owned media give any legitimacy to a resistance movement?

Two, why would a resistance org give the system a heads up?

The real resistance is, by necessity, an underground resistance. You’ll need to do some digging before you find it.

How is it inaccurate? You say that we aren’t resisting, somebody said that your local resistance orgs are, and you say that you saw the furries and assumed that was all of them.

That is literally you complaining that you’re being too lazy to find or found an effective org. I’m in a rural town of less than 2k and we’ve managed to grow our local org to over 40 people in just a few weeks. Stop whining and do some work.

Mate, its called putting in effort, something you say none of us are doing. Turns out, its just you projecting your laziness.

Between the strong jawline and the talking head experience, I think he could play the MAGAs like a fiddle

I’m keeping an eye on Hegseth too

You can buy a lot and park a trailer on it for less than that in the midwest. They never said it was a nice house in a nice location.

Because our government says that only white people who adore trump can be citizens or something

Consider therapy. It helps

Thanks, you must have missed where I said I’m slowly unpacking all this in therapy. My therapist says I’m doing good, and that I’m not a racist monster because I’m putting in the effort, but that doesn’t seem to be a common definition. In any case, I don’t call myself colorblind any more, even if I don’t understand why, people do react poorly, so I don’t do it any more. This is retrospective.

It’s like a friend coming out to you and you reply “I don’t care”, while that is not the worst way to respond and you mean well, you are invalidating WHO they are.

But when I called myself ‘colorblind’ I wasn’t saying “I don’t care”, I was saying “Okay, tell me what that means”.

Like, when I came out, I absolutely hated how big of a deal people made about it. I had people “validate that I was different”, but it felt like they were just making fun of me for being different because it was all weirdly patronizing. All this nonsense about “it’s okay that you like boys and girls, you’re still my friend” when I’m an adult who is into men and women, and I wouldn’t have started hanging out with you if I thought you didn’t like gay people? I’m still me, I haven’t changed, and stroking my ego is just telling me that you feel weird around me now that you know I’m not ‘normal’.

I still felt stereotyped and unwelcome, even though they were being “inclusive”, and I don’t want to do that to black people. I don’t understand why that’s racist.
