    So… we gonna do anything about this - or are we still thinking that slowly walking around in a big circle downtown will remedy all this fascism?

    I mean, I’m down to a do another lap. But it sure seems like things are getting really bad really quickly and that they are about to get a hell of lot worse.

          Drones more than anything, learn from Ukraine.

          Cheap, 3D printed explosive devices, remote controlled, in a massive amount.

          Just spam cheap shit at them until they collapse, economics is one of the most major factors to winning wars.

              USA just makes sure to have more money, to throw more expensive things at cheap targets.

              It gets real funny, real fast in a real war though, considering how USA won the early wars (Firefly tanks, etc).

              But yeah, you get it!

        It’s easy to sit on the other side of the border or other side of the ocean from where this is going on and tell strangers to shoot people to assuage your conscience. Building parallel support systems takes time. Organizing takes time. And if you’re looking at our mainstream media, you’ll never know what is actually going on, because they are owned by the very people who want to kill or capture Americans.

        Tl;dr: get over here and pick up a rifle, or keep your snide comments to yourself.

          Nobody else was so loud and obnoxious about guns. Kids need to die for the right to have guns. Theater goers need to die. Church attendants, festival dancers, more kids, some more kids, another church, some university students…

          Now? Crickets.

            That’s because the Americans who were saying that are all either in favour of ICE or working for them. But there are just as many Americans who did not shout about the right to own guns because they could see all the problems with them, and many of these Americans are quietly organizing resistance. I’m not in the USA and I won’t judge American people for not picking up a gun and mounting a solitary suicidal attack on better-armed Nazi thugs. Proper resistance takes numbers and organization, and Americans have been trained to be inexperienced at collective action.

            That said, some of the scenes in Minneapolis show that collective action can work against thugs like ICE. They are cowards in the end, and you need enough people to resist in small ways for it to be effective.
