In waves. Mostly despair, but then I’ll see some Anarchist shit helping others fight parasitic institutions or decentralization getting a little more traction. Little wins against the oppressors. Renewable energy and batteries getting better and better. People using critical thinking or proper logic.
It just takes an example of the good fight to ignite the kindling within for me. But it’s tough out here.
Honestly, I’m here for it. It’ll act as a litmus test
Protests are not going to be the engine that changes these things. That requires the cunt in office to give a damn about the people he’s oppressing. That said, I don’t think they’re worthless. They’re the engine that is overtly saying and doing what others are feeling. To me, it’s inspiring. Not in a “I wanna be just like them yelling in the streets 😍”, but it’s motivational to see people going through so much effort just to spite what’s going on.
That in turn inspires the lawyers donating their time and talents to build solid cases against agents and the regime. There ARE armed militias in the street that ARE lowering the presence of feds, but not in the states that don’t allow open carry (which kills me living in Minnesota). Communities are effectively coordinating via channels the government can’t view to keep families safe moving from point A to B and move food and goods to those families, citizen or not.
Also keep in mind that in order to effectively resist against a military powerhouse that also has access to an ungodly amount of corporate databases to unjustly track and monitor people’s activity, the only EFFECTIVE option of resistance is clandestine operations using encrypted, decentralized services. So you and I ain’t seeing the whole host of resistance. Which IS a good thing.
And let’s keep in mind that we’re on the Fediverse for a reason. Even if methods of resistance are visible, social media algorithms aren’t showing it. Cable news isn’t covering it. There are a handful of actually decent investigative journalists and even then, sensationalism is king, their story will get swept away.
So just because you don’t SEE it doesn’t mean it ain’t happening
This is simply not true
Noooooooo
I see you.
It’s fucking horrific to live through. The opposing party has no real power beyond a vote, of which they’re outnumbered by retarded egomaniacs. The courts are a fucking joke just like the rest of our “checks and balance” system. Algorithmic media is actual cancer that pushes rage, ignorance, and the agenda. “News” and cable like media either push the narrative of the regime or just “tsk tsk”’s the shit going on. And the fucking good people on the street are fighting with a hand behind their back because if they cast a singe real stone, like say, a bullet, it opens the flood gates of martial law. Of which, with our current moral, we would be properly fucked into submission like Trump so loves to do.
We’re in check until a couple of potential turning points. Midterms could prove interesting which would add stopping power. There’s already dissent in the Republican Party, of which I hold little hope because they’re all retarded egomaniacs, but that makes the dissent even more of a point. If Trump actually does start a war to post-pone elections, instating his third term, I think hell would be raised within his own support system. And of course, he could just fucking die already and I’m fairly confident his cult would rapidly deteriorate.
All to say, you’re right. America is being raped by its president. But I hold hope that is not unfounded that this will not go unpunished. Even if it does take years…
Brother to the North, fuck you. You’re the same.
Death staring you in the face, you’d do the same. Do you have kids? A partner? Fancy leaving them or anyone else you love early? Make that decision in mere seconds. Paralysis would take you too.
Keyboard warrior pointing the finger. Not everyone has so little to live for that they’d throw it away for a notion of standing up for injustice while a gun is staring you in the face. Shit’s not easy. I commend anyone making the choice to do so. But don’t point a finger while you’re not even here. You fucking ignorant pussy
Ineffective my ass. And without resistance my ass. This is not an overt battle. We can’t win by just popping these motherfuckers. We’d be decimated. Just because you don’t see people throwing their lives away like fodder doesn’t mean that there isn’t motion. Legal cases are being made. Decentralized, encrypted services are being utilized to coordinate resources, track feds, communicate with families who need security, and I’m sure a shit ton more initiatives.
Protests, though simply overtly showing contempt, is making ICE despise the work they do and are at least forced the regime’s hand to show boat change. Not substantially, but not nothing.
But don’t you dare say there isn’t resistance. People are giving their time, energy, and when the time actually demands it, their lives. Fuck you for basically spitting on Alex Pretti’s grave
Secondary?!
You chaff. If every Minnesotan pulled their conceal and carry to rightfully pop these fucking invaders, it opens the flood gates of the tyranny’s army. This shit is delicate. The fact that we showed restraint so that a “legal” full fledged invasion didn’t happen is astounding. We’re being held captive by our own government who holds the world’s largest military card. The fight IS happening, but we can’t do it physically. We’d be decimated. It’s not that we don’t want trials, it’s that the entire power structure is against the people, reason, and justice. We’re TRYING to change it. And there IS a lot of good legal cases being built. But that doesn’t mean shit while our country is being held captive by a small hegemony of captors and a whole lot of “I’m just doing my job” sub-humans carrying military equipment playing gestapo
P.S. I honestly just used your post to vent after seeing my city being called “secondary”. You didn’t say anything untrue otherwise and I likely agree with most, if not all of your standpoints
When hell freezes over, we’ll get the Pokémon game we all want and deserve
