“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” he said.

    Like Hitler’s “Krystalnacht”, right?

    JUST like Hitler’s “night of broken-glass”??


    US has a blanket-policy, that they NEVER bargain with terrorists: once you “appease” 1 of them, then the ALL are certain of their terrorism’s “rights”.

    US’s policy is simply to break them.

    Nonfatally if possible, but there’s no moral/ideological problem with killing them.


    The US … I expect only 1/3rd of the US’s population to be left alive, after US Civil War Part2, & the ever-escalating ClimatePunctuation has finished trashing things, these next years…

    When ww3 begins, the ContinuousHammerfall stage of The Great Filter ( 2035-ish ), I expect not 400,000,000 citizens in the US, but 4/3 hundred-million citizens left alive.

    133,000,000-ish.

    Maybe the remnant left alive will understand the stakes, then…

    as I’m “sure” the rest of the world will, by then ( not a chance in hell, iow ).


    Socio-political-pressure NEVER kept humankind honest.

    Not in the old-testament, not in the new-testament, not in the mahabharata, not in the buddhist, or shinto, ar any records.

    IF humankind survives The Great Filter, THEN objectivity is going to be LAW among the survivors, however few they are.

    More people should know what’s in Project 2025. It’s a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.

    Lots of talk in this thread. I stood during the pandemic against anti-vaccs and no-masks and intend to again. I’ve heard a lot of excuses, mostly surrounding a need to work and pay bills and how they cannot jeopardize that.

    I wonder if there will be excuses this time.

      I’m not sure why you think the need to work and pay bills isn’t a legitimate reason to not do other things. You have to eat to live and living is a lot harder without a home. Or with a home but without services like running water.

        Because it’s just an excuse… I shower daily but somehow that task doesn’t prevent me from doing other stuff

        Similarly you can work and pay your bill while still setting time aside to organize, protest, write, etc

          I thought we were talking about people using having to work and pay bills as an excuse to not go out on the street and protest. You can’t do any of those things from a cell, which is what they’re risking. I don’t blame anyone for not risking that, especially if they have people who depend on them like small children.

          But sure, they can do other things like organize and write. That’s true.

            It is an excuse, when used as a barrier to why they can’t. My point being that these rights, expectations, social norms, whatever else we might call them or list, are being slowly shaved away. There is also something to be said for that risk being one of the leashes placed upon the working class. A fear of reprisal. A very real fear, unfortunately.

            Yet this is where we are. Either we take these risks or risk everything being systematically taken away anyway while we struggle to pay ever increasing bills. A slow death from financial squeeze.

        Some of it. I don’t know that even a sizable portion of this country wants to raise prescription drug prices. I also think a very small percentage wants to get rid of no fault divorce or contraception. Even most Catholics are fine with contraception. And use it too.

        Raising the retirement age? I’d guess that their sizable voting bloc in their 60s wouldn’t be good with that.

        Honestly, I think the more people learn about this, the more they will find things they don’t like about it. Even Republicans.

            I was going to make this point too, that regular Americans who support this stuff think it will only affect people they don’t like. Like how the presidential immunity only covers “official acts,” a term left completely undefined so they can claim things they like official and things they don’t unofficial.

            Of course, those broke bitches on the ground aren’t going to get that same consideration and will get fucked same as “DA lIbZ”

        I’m surprised this graphic doesn’t mention banning porn and jailing those who produce and distribute it (page 5). Even for non-porn consumers, when you remember that they’re trying to lump non-explicit LGBT media in as porn (for example), that becomes a pretty dangerous stance.

        I’d like to get more involved with something, but not the SRA. Tried that and felt like it was not much more than burning $35 for the membership fees. I need something a little bit more substantial and a bit more cohesive than some discord channel.

      Correction - you should believe them that such will happen when nobody else but them has knives and they are certain they won’t get a scratch while it’s happening. Until then they’ll be very afraid.

      The dangerous part is that the fact that they are cowards may over time become more notable than the fact that they really want this.
