Man I want to walk up behind the Nazi in that third pic and kick him in the grundle so hard.
Authoritarian hell…
It’ll keep happening until we all show up with baseball bats.
'Muricans should have more than enough guns. Where are they now? Hiding like rats, waiting for the Nazis to fully take over?
Organized federal financed paramilitary units with a hierarchy and a support structure and a multi-billion dollar PR budget are going to outperform random disconnected vigilantes who are too afraid to so much as wave at one another.
This is the same problem the Spanish Anarchists had against Franco. Its the problem German and Italian Communists had against the Fascist/Monarchist alliance. It's the problem the French Resistance had against the Nazi occupation and the Hamas / Hezbollah resistance has had against the IDF.
Simply owning a firearm isn't enough. You need a community of like-minded people operating in concert towards a recognized goal. That's the difference between the Vietcong and Ruby Ridge. That's what separates successful insurgencies from "lone wolf waterboarded to death in Gitmo blacksite".
The ones with guns are mostly just cheering them on from the sidelines
many of us have mental illnesses that would put us or others in danger if we had a gun. trust me, i believe in arming ourselves, especially minorities, but what if one day i have no impulse control and shoot myself? im at a loss.
That's because the majority of them are fascists. What happened to American exceptionalism? It never existed. it's a nation of soft wanna be humans disguised as capitalists.
Joining the Nazis.
The vast majority of the gun freaks are on their side.
Not in Connecticut. That's the point.
Alleged ICE agents. They haven't identified themselves, can we really say they're federal agents?
We should bring back tarring and feathering.
Watching this shit happen in America from afar really is a mind fuck. I continue to fail to understand how Trump can still have any support is beyond me. The facism is just so god damn blatant at this point
Racism. The answer is racism. His white supremacist supporters love watching masked secret police beat the shit out of brown people. Then they’ll blame the next closest person when the food stops being produced and the farm food all rots on the vine
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that resonated with me "Stop pretending your racism is patriotism"
It reminded me of something an African American woman said to me during college more than 20 years ago "I always watch out for people that love to fly the American flag because you never know what that really means."
Well 20 years ago nationalism in the US was at seemingly an all time high. It was hat dressed up as patriotism
And beyond racism it is happening in blue cities.
His supporters are primed to think that cities are dangerous places already, and that a city led by liberals is in shambles, and that all the people living there are lawless liberals that deserve punishment.
They are cheering about this because they see it as sending their troops to go hurt others. Whether those people are other because of their race, their religion, their gender, their sexuality, or their political beliefs.
And when these same people find out that something about them or a loved one makes them other they will act shocked. They will protest that they aren’t an other they are in the in-group.
And then they will learn the true nature of fascism. The in-group is constantly shrinking, because there must always be an other to blame. And they will learn that lesson too late.
