I knew this was the end of America back in November. I knew there would be concentration camps, brutal crackdowns, and unjustified attacks on other countries. The only thing that's made me feel truly hopeless is how few people even admit the dire straits we're in.
I doubt Trump nukes Russia or even China because he's a bully who prefers to harass those who can't fight back. Maybe he'd push North Korea too hard and get a city nuked, but if he uses them, it'll probably be against someone who can't nuke back. A show of force to demonstrate his own power. Iran was the most likely, and I was genuinely worried when he attacked them with Israel, because if his attempts at de-escalation failed it could've been grim. It still could be.
"Silly her; doesn't she know there are no rules anymore and we can do whatever the fuck we want?"
Oh so it does-
Ahhh, you stole my lungs
That's the point. These actions are criminal and demonized, but undoubtedly necessary for us having rights at all.
Global capitalism makes seizing the means of production a global effort no matter where you are, which is why nationalism is main the tool for maintaining capitalism
and being trans can make you a criminal; what's your point?
It was probably just too expensive tbh
The Tulsa massacre is a wild example, because while it led to no positive change, it did help accomplish the white supremacist's goals of keeping Black people from building generational wealth. The terrorism of the KKK and non state sanctioned attacks against native Americans played a crucial war in building all the inequities of America. The injustice wasn't inevitable or even based on legal discrimination alone, but bolstered and reinforced by extrajudicial actions they knew the state wouldn't stop.
Does this mean the left can do anything close to the same thing as the KKK? Fuck no, we'll pay extra in jail time and executions. The state allowed an encouraged that evil. It does make the moralizing bullshit about illegality being the only way to change things even more hollow.
It's hard to finda a job period right now, and mass unemployment is always so productive to stability and peace.
At this point, we aren't living under liberal democracy and a peaceful rally is more illegal and dangerous than rioting was. The point is to not demonize the language of the unheard when few states will have free and fair elections next year.
Nah, this isn't the right place for that.
a certain horny chat tho...
