Is this the USA's Kristallnacht? I guess historians might get to decide someday.

They’re testing it in specific geographic locations in reaction to manufactured crises. So, yes and no. It’s not a nationwide thing. Yet. But I’m pretty sure it will be

So can the Democrats give the green light to shoot now or not yet? Do we need to get fully gas in a shower for people to say enough?

Believe me I understand that and I keep saying that we need actual fighters. Pretty much if you are against abolishing ice or just sending a strong letter, they should be removed immediately.

Wagging fingers and posting will not do shit against these folks, they only understand power.

I think you're going to have to look elsewhere, fighters are not the preview of the Democratic Party. See if there is a DSA chapter near you and join it, it might ease your mind some to find like-minded people who actually want to fight. The streets are where the fight is now, not congress. ICE is knocking on our doors, not the doors of Congress. That should tell you everything you need to know about who they think is a threat.

The rest of the world isn’t sure what you’re waiting for. If it’s for democratic politicians to do the right thing, you should know better.

There is a difference between a civil war and a lone ranger fighting. People will not pickup arms if there is no coalition to get behind.

The Black Panthers in Philly seem to be moving past the lone ranger stage.

They have absolutely not beaten the paid opposition charges in all this time for certain. At least along the neo-liberals.

The democrats are owned by Israel and the same Zionist oligarchs. Nothing will improve until that changes

The Reddit comments are so fucking sad.

People calling out for ICE to be arrested, for the state to take action, talking about how the raids are illegal, and unconstitutional...

These people have lived their whole lives believing in a fiction, that laws, authorities and institutions protect them, and now, when the illusion is revealed, they have absolutely no idea what to do.

It's really tragic watching this unfold, made all the worse by knowing it was coming and trying unsuccessfully for years to get people to acknowledge the threat, realize that the state and authorities are the enemy, and organize against them.

I fear the hour is late, but we still need to do as much as we can, as fast as we can: organize. unionize. collectivize. go to a protest and NETWORK. make connections, especially in your local community. get all your neighbors to set up a neighborhood watch group chat and use collectivized self defense. Apes together strong.

I’m sure palantir has us on a kill list anyway

[-] foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Kill lists solve a political problem, but leave an economic one. If Steven Miller really does want 100 million non-white people out of the US, it's going to torpedo a lot of profit margins.

Naah, my wager is not violence from a firearm, but let's see how people fare once their financial lives are destroyed.

Can't make wage slaves out of dead people.

[-] AmazingWizard@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

It is very tragic, and because of the nature of Reddit, this kind of advice would get removed more likely than not.
