Aha so you’re German! Think of the US Democrats as the social Democrats who signed off on the enabling act in your home country. Hopefully you’re not too retarded for that comparison.

Also the irony of saying enjoy fascism as your country deports legal citizens for protesting Israel lol

So unable to. Thanks for verifying.

Edit: still unable

I appreciate that you’re unable to refute any of what I said, doubled down on blaming others, and assumed my vote all in one message. Even more on brand of you doing all that with a condescending tone.

You do nothing productive other then vote for your team, point fingers at everyone when you fail, and are unwilling, or more likely unable, to engage with anything that doesn’t fit your world view or threatens to scrutinize it.

You truly are a Republican with a blue badge, bravo.

Edit: they continue to prove every point I make lol

Fine you want deportation specific? Democrats rubber stamped the Laken Riley act, fuck you.

My point was Democrats are literally working lockstep with Republicans and you’re too much a blue MAGAt to care.

You do see the rise on the Democrats line too, no?

Who helped the recent spending bill pass again?

Ahhh yes it’s the far left that’s working hand in hand with the fascists not the Democrats who are currently rubber stamping things like Trump’s cabinet picks, the Laken Riley act, and even the recent spending bill that just barley managed to limp over the edge thanks to, you guessed, the Democrats!

You’re actually just blue MAGA, you somehow make fun of Red Hats for still blaming Biden for everything while blaming the boogyman leftist for your parties failures.

It’d be hilarious how you people think you’re so different from Republicans if I didn’t have to deal with the reality of your representatives working with fascists to dismantle OUR rights.

Yeah it’s “weird” how up in arms liberals were when Trump opened the concentration camps but how quiet they were when Biden neglected to close them so he could use them even more than Trump did

I feel with that interpretation, any weapon is politically agnostic. Which I’d agree with given the use of firearms by far right extremists to shoot up Walmarts, clubs, and churches. They’ve already been using weapons against their “adversaries” like the domestic terrorists they are.

But agreed, I’m not actually excited about it. The premise is horrifying. I do hope the good guys pull the trigger first on this one. It’s, in my opinion, the logical next step.

Maybe, but honestly there isn’t too much a need for them to thanks to the existence of things like TLO. Maybe for surveillance over less developed areas?

Idk I’m not happy about any of this but it’s interesting to speculate what a modern day cyberpunk is going to look like.

I’m still waiting for people to get mad enough to use drones for political violence. Like shit, Ukraine can make an effective FPV for like 50 USD from what I’ve seen

Imagine if Luigi dropped a grenade on this dude while just sitting in Central Park.

It’s gonna be a good time.

It is. What helped me was deleting my account and removing my patched boost app. Now I only browse it through mobile Firefox with ublock.

It’s annoying as shit to use, so I don’t use it often. But when I do they get nothing from me. Win-win.

Violent revolutions rarely work…

Are we ignoring nearly all of history? Take some time and see how man revolutions were possible without violence vs how many were. You have all of human history at your finger tips, for now at least.

History doesn’t repeat but it certainly rhymes. If you’re real and this is your true belief then you are not ready for what is coming.

The main takeaway I would hope people get from the idea (one that I heard from a forgotten source and then began using in the light of my own understanding I have to confess) is that we are living under a system that has been disproportionately and consistently shaped over much of its history by moneyed interests in various ways for the specific aim of winning the class war for the wealthy. That’s what the system is doing, that is its purpose.

Another objection to “the purpose of a system is what it does” is that it implies that systems have purposes in the first place. Many systems don’t have a purpose because they were never designed. Ecosystems are the biggest example of this.

Talking more specifically about our political and economic systems, I think the ecosystem view is helpful. Believing that an elite have conspired over centuries to create a system which entrenches their interests is dangerous, conspiratorial thinking which most importantly does not lead in any positive direction.

It’s not a conspiracy though. Political think tanks, lobbiests, SuperPACs all exist to shape politics and have more influence than any person. And they are all controlled by those with wealth. They’ve literally been shaping the country for themselves for decades.

50501 is very active, we’re hitting the streets all the time. I’ve been at a demonstration almost every week for the past month and a half. Please, join us!

Edit: From one of my other comments in case you’re uneasy about getting involved:

I don’t even like talking to people in the first place.

SAME SAME SAME. When I started confronting these [Trump supporters] people in my life my anxiety would flare up to the point my voice would shake lol. And I never in my life thought I’d be out marching in the streets.

It gets easier, but it takes practice (Prozac helps too). Now the anxiety has become anger. But not anger at them, rather anger at the system. Anger at what we let this country become. Anger at how lazy and complacent I’ve become.

Do your best, stay safe, and most important of all don’t get scared. Get angry.

Lots of states allow private sales with no background checks required. People should see if they live in/near one.

If so hop on mewe, or some other social site, grab some cash and get you one! Gun shows are awesome for this too.

I don’t like this sentence

The engineers did this, Teslas just kind of do this.
