Friend had to stop me from reacting as I usually do from suspecting folks are genuinely asking questions instead acting coy to entrap me: Yell, scream, get help, run to the gas station, get crowbars, anything to dearrest, etc.. Folks are being abducted, dead in the camps or at the gas stations, these fascist must be stopped.

It’s America, you're supposed to be armed, wear masks, wear body armor, insurrect. The descent to fascism looks exactly as Chelsea described, paralytic.

Many Americans who are witnessing their friends and families succumb to stupidity, as your video called it, are not the American stereotype. They aren't armed, don't have body armor, and have some dusty N95 masks from a few years ago but that's all. Who can they turn to within their own society? The police? The military? They can't trust each other because no one knows who will turn stupid next. There is nowhere to go and nothing that can be done. Fascists have won for the interim and are going to get violent. There is nothing that we can do to prevent it because they are rigging all the systems, taking away all options except to be our own violent outburst. And the moment we do we are made an example of the dangerous left and the rest of the non-fascists are punished or suppressed further.

So, again, what would you do?

Get armed, make and distribute body armor, wear masks everywhere.

Who can they turn to within their own society? The police? The military?

Has it's always been: friends, families, comrades. Police & military have always been your enemy. If you were never aware of that fact, wake up!

no one knows who will turn stupid next

The video even shows how to turn stupidity into awakening.

There is nowhere to go and nothing that can be done.

Then bury yourself alive if you actually believe this. Even going to food banks and helping folks out is antifa action.

Fascists have won for the interim and are going to get violent.

Have been violent forever, and you need to react more violent than them, if you want to liberate yourselves.

rigging all the systems

unrig, a system at a time.

what would you do?

Not wallow in compliance.

Get up, get angry, get armed. Start dismantling encampments.🫡

I don't think you understand people or the United States very well. What you are suggesting is to make a 2nd Virginia Tech incident happen. They've already started brutally dismantling protests. To resist is to commit suicide.

When they get a whiff of protestors carrying weapons, we will have a tiananmen square on our hands. The media will watch, and nothing will happen. Again.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 19 hours ago

It's the otherway around, I comprehend Kent State Massacres, 1985 MOVE bombings, and the unwillingness to act. Protests are over. Organize, dismantle fascist resources, and try. You are committing suicide already by letting violent dictators take your things. Stop them, now.

And yes, the mainstream media is against you, so ignore their propaganda, and start radios with real news.

Can I get some body armor from you?

Talking a lot of shit for somebody 6000 miles away. It's something like $260 to for a ticket to LA, what's your actual excuse?

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

And an instant encampment for my visitation.

Are you going reprimand TSA & customs when I get to LA?

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, when I have more friends and then family locked up are you gonna do something? You're afraid for your own personal liberty in a silly show of customs theater? Quick turnaround from all the talk of dearresting.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social -2 points 19 hours ago

So you're basically saying I should get encamped. Ok fash. Enjoy your fash friends and family turning on you.
