The trick is knowing that reactionaries and nazis always, always, always operate in bad faith. Even if given no excuses, they’ll cook up their own reasons to declare martial law. It’s coming whether we behave or not.

Of course reddit took it down. There’s a decent video on protecting from these systems on youtube; the gist is that normal industrial headphones provide the best protection by themselves, but the protection is even better when paired with a riot shield. I imaging you might even be able to reflect the sound back of you had something stiff and dense.

Also, physically destroying the system works too.

Take notes everyone, this is just one small example of what “fuck you, make me” looks like. This teacher has more spine than Chuck Schumer and half of our administrative state.

But Putin does this all the time. Like, all the time. He’s well known for it, even among people that support him. Putin’s all about these sort of bullshit power play games, that’s why he also has that comedically long table he sits at.

This is pretty much right. Just wanted to say that we deadass saw a small grocer selling loosies for a dollar about a month ago here in central Cali.

IIRC, the CIA convinced the Hmong to fight for them against the communists in southeast Asia, and promised to take care of them if it all went south. Well, we all know how the Vietnam war went, and while a government that was very unhappy with the Hmong for siding with the CIA was taking over, the CIA basically threw deuces and vanished on them. So shocking and uncharacteristic of the US to betray an ally, I know. So, the Hmong fled to Thailand and begged the US for aid. I’m sure we’ll get the duality of tankie responses (nobody was treating them badly but if they were they deserved it), but the gist is that they were seeking refuge. A few years later, the US granted it. Now, bear in mind, originally they’d been told they were going to be able to have their own farms and fuck off to nowhere and mind their own business. Uncle Sam basically dumped them in Merced, California, patted himself on the back, and walked away. There was a lot of drama about it for a while, because the locals got real upset that this entire population just showed up basically overnight and seemed to resist integration, and the Hmong were upset because they just wanted to fuck off and mind their own farms. Fifty years later, though, the Hmong are a pretty big deal (in a good way) in the community, so that’s cool.

As a left libertarian who has actually voted libertarian before, yeah, third parties are fucking cooked in this county.

Jesus Christ what the fuck

This fuckin slaps

We are all domestic terrorists

Straight up, most Saturday morning cartoon villains would be like “go home, heroes. I’ve got this one, and I don’t want you to see what I’m about to do to him.”

I saw that Schiff and Padilla opposed cloture and the GOP spending bill. Called their offices to vocalize my support.

I’m assuming that there’s no issue with print-on-demand and manufacture at POS; I know pretty much what I’m getting if I order a 3D printed dingus.

More than the one, it seems

My pet conspiracy theory is that there’s already been multiple attempts since Butler, but they aren’t being publicized because they don’t want to encourage others.

If you want to really sabotage the war effort, use the war to push for state secession from the union, particularly if you’re in a blue state. Most of the blue states are economic engines that keep the rest of the machine ticking. If they leave, or try to, that’ll be a huge kick in the nuts to any war effort.

Do you have a gun? Do you have ammo? Do you know how to use it? Do you have relevant and useful skills for a resistance? If not, what’s stopping you?

Idk about based. Imo, it was hella staged, and I found it real cringe.

No. I’m sick of ratcheting right, of normalizing the former Republican president’s regime by half, of promising that maybe, eventually, long after my kids have died of old age, we’ll get around to fixing what’s broken. A return to normalcy will only legitimize this fucking bullshit. The climate is collapsing, there’s microplastics in my brain and balls, the wealthy are actively trying to re-establish feudalism, and the level best the democrats can do is hold up signs and give me downvotes when I say they’re not doing enough. There’s evidence coming out that microplastics inhibit photosynthesis and cause crop failures, the shit’s everywhere, and lol and fucking behold the UN can’t even talk about it without getting drowned in a tsunami of lobbyists. Yes, hello, my name is Timothy Thompson, I’m with United Plastics, and I’m here to tell you about how single use plastics are good actually; can I offer you $5,000? I’ve recently come around to the idea that there’s only around 10,000 very specific enormously wealthy, influential, or both people that we’d need to persuade to make the world a better, more livable place for everyone on the planet now and in the future, and right now, they aren’t being effectively persuaded.

Friendship ended with centrist democrats. I am now friends with accelerationism.
