Give em hell

Their comment however was not about simping MTG. It was questioning Democrats sucking ass.

The most vulnerable people in your country are already being hunted down and put in concentration camps. Helping the fascists keep the lights on is not resistance.

If you are not ready to do political and institutional resistance that actually raises the stakes, you will create the conditions where people will either have to choose complete capitulation to fascism or violent insurrection.

And is there any particular reason why a political crisis should be averted? Any particular reason why the administration would not have to be frantically diverting is attention to these issues for the next couple of weeks until some kind of crescendo results in a resolution?

Resistance means making them have to pay a price every step of the way. Each day they don’t have to spend their effort to go on TV to do some petty politicking is a day where they have the bandwidth to spin doctor the events in Minneapolis.

I’m Greek-Canadian. In Greece, yankee go home is a classic anti-american slogan in leftist circles.

I don’t know where you found the “tons of posts encouraging violence”. I have made multiple posts encouraging non-violent resistance.

edit: here is precisely what I was commenting 6 days ago about violence: https://lemmy.ca/post/58814479/21200438

Hey Yanks, is this what resisting trumpist fascism looks like?

Call them and ask them if today’s shooting would change their mind.

It’s called the DSA. Help them take over the husk of the Democratic party.

Why the fuck give up on obstruction?

Bullshit. The Republicans are the fascists in power. Being angry at them is the default, nothing to say. The Democrats can be either resisting or enabling. People have every fucking right to be mad at the enablers who should be resisting.

Your comment is the equivalent of saying “yea the crime in my city is caused by criminals and corrupt cops, but it’s mostly the criminals, so look why are you eating up the propaganda that you should be mad at the police?”.

As non-maga American voters you guys need to be holding your enabler Democrats to account. We, the rest of the world, know the Republicans are beyond your control. Your fucking Democrats though? That’s on you.

Got to be able to tell your right wingers apart. He’s a fuck face but Doug Ford is not a fascist like Poilievre. The flu virus, deadly as it is, is not COVID.

Hey Brits, take a cue from Canada and shut your fascists down.

Hope you beat this thing as quickly and smoothly as possible, so I can be annoyed at your modding style again! Jokes aside, take care, all the best wishes for a successful recovery that is very boring and predictable.

The emperor is naked.

You’re wrong saying that it’s a non-story. If you’d asked the question ten years ago, it wouldn’t be a third. The news is that this possibility has been born. That’s big news.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Nah that was British boomers being stupid.

Some people seem to have replaced Great Man historiography with Great Manipulator historiography.

C’mon Jews, speak up!

Have you been around the last couple of years? From Naomi Klein and Mahsa Gessen to Omer Bartov and Gabor Maté, Jewish intellectuals have been major voices against the genocide. And organizations like JVP and IJV in different countries, have been doing immense legwork and organizing. Not to mention the Refuseniks in Israel, and organizations like Standing Together.

If you haven’t heard Jews speaking up, you haven’t been paying attention.
