When is the general strike and protest?
-
Internet disinformation is making this regime seem far more popular than it is. Don’t let that bullshit dishearten you, that’s what the fascists want. The majority is not cool with this, and we can stop it.
-
It's hard to believe that "the majority is not cool with this", because that fucker did win the elections. The American people voted for him, how could it be that the majority doesn't want exactly what he's doing?
-
A plurality of the people who voted is not the same as the majority of people in the US.
-
I mean not voting is often/in many places the most popular American presidential candidate, obviously not just because plenty are stupid or apathetic, but also because it's been made pretty hard to vote in many places.
It's more accurate to say that the majority didn't (manage to) vote against him. So the conclusion is more like the majority didn't care enough to prevent this, instead of the majority wanted this.
To you it might feel no different but seen from the outside it very much is different. The consequences are still bad, but your consequence shouldn't be resignation, Americas citizens failed themselves sure but they aren't overwhelmingly monsters.
With the amount of fuckery in terms of media and the whole election process in the US this is a more fair assesment.
-
Because unfortunately we're a selfish country. That's just how it is...
-
Remember these are all human beings, many of whom have complex motivations: it is unwise to make assumptions about the one choice you know they made. Try just asking them why they voted for him and what they expect to happen.

Regime? My god you people are insane, and the actual proof you've never lived inside an actual regime is this type of comments.
Try to even say something like this on an actual regime, and prepare your ass to be tortured non stop for months.
Can't find you? Don't worry, your family will work for that as well. No family? Friends and acquaintances will do in a pinch.
Citizens in a real regime are afraid to even talk in public forums because they know there are intelligence agents running spy operations on them .
You people cheapen the torture and barbarism that real people suffer daily just to feel self righteous in your fake posturing and virtue signaling.
Absolutely disgusting
-
Are you really gate-keeping fascism?
Just because we can see this coming, and it's not terrible yet doesn't mean it's not terrible.
The kind of person you are calling 'disgusting' is empathetic to all forms of oppression and not just focused on the US local landscape -- we just see it happening here right now and are calling it out. We have also been calling it out when it occurs elsewhere.
Doing anything to limit or inhibit the spread of information about what is occurring is more disgusting than being fascist to begin with. Fuck off.
-
That is their goal and we are trying to avoid getting there. Democracy is fragile and what you've described is a very likely possibility that we must stop.

Dude shut up you fucking dork.

BRING BACK LUIGI!!! 😚👌

Bring back Ryan Routh

That’s some cool graphic design there.
-
- Make a simple solid stencil with this image on something thick like cardboard, plywood, or foam board
- Tape the stencil to the bottom of a large paper or cloth reuseable bag and cut out the bottom of the bag so the stencil shows thru.
- Put a can of spray paint in the bag.
- Put the bag up against walls, sidewalks, etc.
- Spray paint stencil on things
-
The big sides of beer cases are lightweight, easy to conceal, and perfect for this. If you have a jacket with a liner, you can cut a thin line it with a razor knife and nobody will find your stencils.

*Spray paint stencil on tesla's
-
You mean swasticars?
-
There was a photo of a Tesla in Vienna, Austria with a swastika sprayed on the hood. It's started.
-
Just don't forget the cameras :)
-
-
Excellent plan!
-
aren't they just symptoms of a manipulated electorate done by financial and political elites aligned with specifically right leanings (Rupert murdoch et al)?
the people that rise to the top of a shit system are indeed pieces of shit but we neglect the 70million idiots that will defend them because fucking Jesus and guns.
-
No one voted for him. Why defend him?
Once Trump dies in his sleep from medical, where’s this guy going to be? Vance is Theil owned. Theil and musk do not get along, going way back.
-
I have a feeling they all mostly put up with each other but can't stand the other one bit. I can't remember how many times some petty news broke about their squabbles only for them to call each other the greatest of friends when it's convenient. Like Ramaswampy saying all this shit behind Trump's back, getting on his good side only to get his face eaten later. And Greene accusing Boebert of stealing her thunder. Good god, they all sound like toddlers.

There’s this idea of developmental arrest. Zuckerberg is cited as such. Instead of growing up and developing normally, as a human, past the age of 25, a landfall hit, sure, from his own machinations, but as such his further brain development outside the focus of his business was halted. And this is how you get a mall ninja entrepreneur who carries a samurai sword around the office threatening to chop everyone for not doing a good job. In his 20s. I can’t imagine the lack of effort involved in growing up incredibly privileged isnt a factor, depending. I say that not as a guaranteed happening but as the easy path without checking yourself, like water naturally running downhill.
Same with Elon. The obsession with X as a name seems like an exemplar item on that. It’s like the name you use for something when 420-69 is already taken. He tried it with PayPal. He tried it with Tesla. He finally gets to use it on Twitter as a grown ass man decades later. I liked stickers as a kid, but I’m not slapping them on all my belongings at 40+.
Developmental delay doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be smart, capable, or even genius. Broaden the parameters. It can mean you are a genius coder but have the emotional intelligence of a cucumber.

Very powerfull design. Thanks for sharing. A minimalistic approach here: https://mein-piratenshop.de/Aufkleber-Hitlerverbot-OE-9-5-cm/201823000

Enemy? Are you in a war now?
I'd be happy to see you all fighting on the streets, would be a nice change from talking about democracy, acting as if you ever cared for it, and actually putting your money where your mouth is
BTW, lovely putting up the multi colored emojis, that will surely distract the minorities that were and keep being lambasted on Lemmy as the cause of losing the election (I don't know why, tho, it's clear you people don't care about democracy)
-
It's an ideological war. Not all wars are fought with combat, like the Cold War.
And yes, my stupid POC family either voted for Trump or didn't vote. What of it? I get to call them stupid all day every day because they did that when it could've been a historic voter turnout against fascists instead. One of them just got her citizenship, too, so good for her getting hers and she said fuck the rest.
-
Like the War on Drugs. War on Crime. War on Poverty. Of course these were all stupid in their concept and/or execution but you get the idea.

...yes it is called US healthcare and affording rent!
I don't know any better word for it, there are battle lines drawn, tens of thousands dead for meaningless reasons and soldiers everywhere fighting in hand to hand combat to feed their kids and access life saving healthcare they already paid for.
It sure as hell looks like a war to me, otherwise you have to explain to me this no mans land I am in full of the cries of the suffering and dying as their lives are brutally dissected by the 1% in the pursuit of the drug of having more money.
Would "slaughter" be more fitting than "war"? Technically yes, but we all know how powerless we are, there is no need to ruminate on it, calling it a war gives gives each other the chance to feel solidarity in our resistance.
