    Yeah. I feel like the concept of America is just completely manufactured. Personified by the ignorant blowhards who LARP as heros but only fight when backed by the MIC (hold technological superiority against an inferior force), the Christian taliban who hate jesus and everything he stood for, and the oligarchs who got rich off the backs of immigrants; responsible for the populations mental illness epidemic.

    It’s quite obvious that the average American will roll over and let the Stalin, Putin, Mao, Xi or Hitler force them into absolute supplication before they bother with the minor inconvenience of protest or strikes, while being stupid enough to believe they represent freedom and justice. The only people willing to oppose the psychopaths are too liberalised to accept that they won’t be stopped without violence, or too fragmented to provide meaningful resistance. A massive general strike would work, but that would require more cooperation and discipline than Americans have ever displayed, and the mental illness is too strong.

    I hope I’m wrong.






  • This should definitely be the approach for the first phase of protesting, but I fear this is also missing the part where fascists — including the oligarch owned media — will actively produce and disseminate disinformation to justify their crimes, regardless of how peaceful and disciplined protesters are. I fear fascists will continue escalating to mass murder either way.

    Remember “They’re eating cats and dogs” or “kitty litter in schools” or “migrant caravan”?

    In the age of disinformation, facing a fascist mass murder, protesters need to be prepared for “peaceful” to turn into Tiananmen square, at which point there’s no reason to congregate around the square anymore; you need to switch gears and go guerrilla warfare. Obviously this should never be done anywhere near a protest. It should never be waged against civilians/MAGA voters, cops, troops, or federal agents. It should only ever be targeted specifically at the fascist leadership, and their immediate senior accomplices. Wasting time or effort on low value targets is counterproductive.
