>>2223287 >This is already the brainlet general, where people think history happens only once every 4 years, so has it gotten worse?>nah>>2225255>>2225267>>2225264I'll take my apology in writing, thanks.
Also, reminder AOC is a glowie asset.
>>2225288Real answer: She's the only person in the party besides Bernie that makes young people hopeful for a platform that benefits them and not the wealthy boomer class. She's a lib but she represents the dissatisfaction with people like Schumer and Pelosi that only represent Israel. AOC is about as far Left as American politics will ever go post-Reagan.
I still won't vote for her though because she doesn't support nuking Israel.
>>2225352>Why do you like the most annoying type of woman>>2225358>I think he just has a fetish for the annoying ass middle aged English teacher archetypeName me a better one? Raggedy Anne is kinda hot but worse personality. AOC is way more annoying. Obviously Hillary is just insufferable.
>>2225339Yeah obviously she is an evil cunt, why else would she be in politics?
Kamala is the finest piece of ass that's been in American politics maybe ever. Why do you think celebrities dated her before she was even in a powerful position?
>>2225489We commend your effort in agitation but your failure to grasp true nature of shopkeep worker ends in reinforcing their petite-bourgeois defeatism. Walmart cashiers are not proletarians. Like Mao taught us, they are semi-proletarian lumpen petite-bourgeois. They fail to grasp marxism and align with market-class interest. Stop wasting time on reactionaries and focus on historically active agents.
Infiltrate your nearest walmart distribution warehouses and report back in 3 months.
>>2225566The problem with this thinking is to organize an army you have to show some level of competency in the things you're recruiting them to do. So, you need a history of successful military action otherwise why would anyone follow you? Probably why most successful revolutionaries have a military background of some sort. No one's gonna listen to me, some NEET telling them to stop paying taxes and punch cops. So really the power of the "average" person is quite small to affect military action. The most you can do is martyr yourself like Luigi and hope it spurs on copycats, because outside of lone wolf or small activist cells you'll never have a mass movement without some major military backing. Even Mao and Lenin relied on recruiting professional soldiers, not just civilians, for their armies.
I guess you could argue we should protest in front of military bases and radicalize grunts by fucking their wives while they're on deployment, but I'm not sure that'll have the same effect as it does in Africa. American troops are too chudded.
>>2225599I have no idea how he managed that but I also don't want to emulate how it ended.
You might have some success appealing to the military's dependence on the VA and the GI bill and Trump wanting to eliminate both of them. I guess. But probably not enough to get people willing to march with you with rifles out.
>>2225537gored dosen't mean eaten, it means headbutted with a sharp forehead.
Talk about low human capital..
>>2225581Võ Nguyên Giáp had no military experience whatsoever and he is arguably the finest commander of the modern era, if not ever.
He left you an instruction manual, too.

I want to discuss this AP Article, "Emboldened ‘manosphere’ accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election". When Nick Fuentes tweeted his deranged misogynistic statements, the overwhelming majority of responses called him out, with some people even showing up at his house. This article doesn’t mention that. It feels like there's a narrative being built here, and I think it's worth talking about.
I’m not denying that reactionaries feel emboldened right now—they definitely do—but I think the reporting here paints a specifically gendered narrative. The article says: “As women become the majority on college campuses and many professional industries see increasing gender diversity, it has ‘led to young men scapegoating women and girls, falsely claiming it’s their fault they’re not getting into college anymore as opposed to looking inward,’ Brown said.” This phrasing is loaded. I would have said, "reactionary young men are scapegoating women and girls" or something similar to make a clear distinction.
Without that specification, it’s an unqualified statement that implies this behavior is widespread, perhaps even natural, among all young men. It erases the young men who want to see people like Fuentes get got. This type of rhetoric is subtle, but it feeds into the "inevitable backlash" narrative instead of framing this as a deliberate, ideological push by specific groups. It makes people shrug and say, "Well, that’s just how it is," instead of interrogating why reactionary figures are pushing this narrative and who benefits from it.
Why does someone like Fuentes have a platform at all? Who’s funding him, amplifying him, protecting him? Why are platforms so inconsistent in applying their own rules when it comes to figures like him? Who benefits from the normalization of these extremist viewpoints? These questions always circle back to class, capital, and systemic issues—which is why they're not discussed. Instead, we get gender war oversimplifications that neither stop the reactionaries nor make women safer.
By painting this misogyny as an inevitable male response, the solidarity of young men pushing back is erased. It undercuts the real story—that reactionaries are failing to win over as many as they want, despite the publicity and billionaire backing. Instead of focusing on resistance, the article inadvertently boosts the very reactionaries it condemns by overstating their cultural dominance.
The article states: “Online declarations for women to ‘Get back in the kitchen’ or to ‘Repeal the 19th,’ a reference to the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote, have spread rapidly. In the days surrounding the election, the extremism think tank found that the top 10 posts on X calling for repeal of the 19th Amendment received more than 4 million views collectively.”
These reactionaries aren’t emboldened because their views are winning—they’re desperate because the pendulum has swung so far away from them. They’re grasping at straws, trying to claw back relevance in a world where their views increasingly feel disgusting and unacceptable. That desperation is why they resort to shock value: tweeting, saying, and doing the most egregious things they can think of to stir the pot and draw attention. Attention doesn’t equal approval. You can’t measure influence by views, likes, or interactions, because those metrics don’t distinguish between support and condemnation and are easily botted. When Fuentes tweets something vile and gets a flood of replies, the overwhelming majority are people tearing him apart, not cheering him on. Multiple people literally showed up to his house—that’s how angry people are. Using engagement numbers as a sign of support is not just misleading—it’s lazy analysis. It plays into the very narrative these reactionaries want, which is to look bigger and more influential than they actually are.
By pushing this simplified gendered narrative, significant progress that previous feminists fought hard to achieve is being erased. Today, every guy who steps onto a college campus is required to take a class on consent—something that simply didn’t exist in the 2000s. Even if you don’t go to college, that cultural shift has trickled down through discussions with friends, people you've dated, infographics, YouTube, and social media. It’s everywhere. By defaulting to the notion that most men are inherently reactionary, or that being reactionary is a natural response for men in the face of women's progress, we’re undoing all of that progress. This isn’t to dismiss the very real fear women feel in response to the rise of these reactionary voices—it’s to show that framing this as a simplistic “young men versus young women” issue erases the hard work of the women who changed the culture in the first place.

>>2225795great.
if even one in 100 of them would take up a rifle, you'd have enough fighters to get something done. Spear of the Nation started with 5 people. Castro only had 60 on the Granma.
You will need a mass base to win the war, but have to start somewhere in order to EARN that base.
Speaking of the DSSA, the only real use for them is to raid them for membership and then liquidate their branches with extreme prejudice. You should be treating them like they are active enemies, because they are.
In order for Communists to lead the working class, you need to remove all obstacles, chief among them is the DSSA.
>>2225847Uh hello? Based department
Keep in mind youll need alternative press and dual power infastructure to support the gorillas
>>2225835This but unironically
Trust me those e-girls will fuck you up
>>2225862The DSSA is a militant anti-communist organization literally founded to hamstring the new left and provide material support for American imperialism.
Please read about the history of the club before you defend it.
>>2225878Now imagine how wacky and zany it would be if someone showed up at the ICE agents homes at night, put a gun to their heads and captured them to hold ransom for the return of the prisoners.
It would be hilarious. Just a shame all of you believe in nothing, so it will never happen.
>>2225880It does if you have infantry to follow up on it. The only difference between "doxxing" and "military intelligence" is the level of organization and seriousness.
>>2225882Sadly, I am not very funny.
>>2225866i would consider it if i lived in the us but i consider my citizenship pretty much revoked. The only country i can think of thatd benefit from communism might be the us.
Wed replace the eagle with a phoenix and then marching to take over mexico and canada etc…

>>2225927Same thing you're going to do about it. Nothing.
>>2225952Because maybe one in 1000 posters here actually believes in what they say they do.
That one is me, by the way. I own lots of guns.
>>2225987Some of the more mask off ones already said that migrants and non-citizens are not entitled to the Constitution in its entirety, since they can't make a case out of national security interests.
It is incredible how toxic the conversation around migrants have become. Even during the height of the war on terror you won't find rightoids going as far as saying that Muslim citizens need to have their constitutional rights suspended, indeed many rightoids became anti goverment lolberts, but today with the immigration issue people are literally advocating a regimen de excepcion to be used against one of the least crime-prone demographic in the US (illegal migrants)
>>2226020he only left office wednesday? it's been months since they lost the election!
nice sham "democracy", burgers
Another 88% of respondents said they would be disturbed to some degree if their son were to befriend an Arab girl. The number climbed to 90% when respondents were asked about their daughter befriending an Arab boy.
According to a survey by the Givat Haviva social activism group, 72 percent of Jewish Israelis don’t trust their Arab counterparts, while 43% of Arabs don’t trust the Jews
Also, 45% of Jews said they were not willing to have social friendships with Arabs, while among Arabs that sentiment was expressed by just 13%.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-overwhelming-majority-of-jewish-israelis-dont-trust-arab-compatriots/>>2226049Only 30% of Jews were willing to participate or have their family members participate in groups with Arabs. Sixty percent of Arabs expressed such willingness about Jews
Over two-thirds of Jewish Israelis, 67%, opposed Arab parties joining the government coalition..
>>2226100I'm putting my money on he dies on the toilet trying to push out a massive dump like Elvis.
>His death was attributed to a heart attack, possibly triggered by straining during a bowel movementSo I guess that counts a natural right?
>>2226125You demonstrate exactly what I'm saying. The elderly proletarian is still slaving away, yet the PMC petite-bourgeois gets complete retirement.

You can call this virtue signaling but hey it is more than talking
>>2226135there are three portions to praxis in preparation for proletarian revolution: education, agitation, organization.
You have educated someone today. Good job. Even if it was online, it's still more than most people do.
>>2226157owning a restaurant = bourgeois. thank you comrade trump for sending the exploiter to gulag!
>>2226160hazbin hotels can keep virtue signaling over gusano exploiter but it looks silly to anyone with half a brain. youre the bootlicking cocksucker who fell for bourgeois line again.
>>2226153Christians westerners if not hardcore right wing you can make a lot of progress making them dislike by showing them Christians killed in Palestine, Christians spit on in Israel, missionaries made fun of, bishops told to not wear cross, a grave of a IDF christian member they made remove cross from, videos of IDF beating the shit out of Orthodox Jews against the war, Palestinian Christians statements their suffering and church bombings in Gaza
Being a Christian this will make them feel bad.

<-I know one of these is replying, and i don't have to read whatever retardation is being spewed!
>>2226179if im annoying to dumbass liberals and US millitary veterans, I must be correct.
Notice how the liberals and the millitary veterans have no response at all. just mindless bitching. I almost feel bad for torturing you, then I remember your liberals and a military veteran
>>2226195Nobody is ever going to meaningfully oppose this and no mod ever deletes this stupid shit
The entire rule is beyond retarded because it means this site has no real rules.

Feels good being a cali chad.
>>2226237This is literally just the ISIS platform dude, where they openly advertised about how you can buy a female slave if you join them
Is recruiting rapists just the meta for right wing orgs from now on?
>>2226715have any of the peoplesent been US citizens so far?
not that citizenship is personhood, just wondering
>>2226688<I heard he's going to use the constitution to make a giant joint. They said he was going to rip up the constitution but he's actually going to 4/20 blaze it faggot.I mean stoned Trump would be funny for a minute, who's the "Silent Bob"to his "Jay" though?…
>If the words ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.t. Terence McKenna
>>2227027huh?
>>2227029>ukraineamerica caused that entire situation so technically it would be worth discussing US foreign policy in here. I noticed too many burgers "just want health care honey" and better wages and don't actually care about saving the world from the consequences of what their leaders do to other countries
>>2227057>Most people in fact care about their immediate material interests, not the highest ideals of a political ideology. This goes for every country, not just America.Of course, no doubt, wouldn't dispute that for a moment, and yet in the heart of the NATO empire of empires, there's a little more urgency and incentive to give a shit about what your leaders do to other countries in your name with your tax dollars and your
(not exactly consent but rather) complacency through inaction. Because every time Israel drops an American made bomb on a Palestinian family, and every time Saudi Arabia drops an American made bomb on a Yemeni family, and every time Ukraine drops an American made bomb on a Donbass family, that's another family that grows up hating America, hating Americans, and blaming Americans for not collectively rising up against their imperialist government.
And let's say for example you did have social democracy in America. Obviously you don't. Obviously your country is deeply exploitative and cruel to its own people. But if you did have social democracy, it would be bought with the blood of millions, and the intensity of the hatred towards your people would only grow with their passivity. So in the name of not having any more orphaned children around the world growing up and swearing Revenge To America and praying for Death To America, in the name of not having another 9/11, it's time to rise up, overthrow your ruling class, and make peace with the world so that maybe, with some luck, the next few generations of people outside America have a good reason not to hate America. Because /USApol/ is not just about what Americans do in America, it's about what Americans do wherever they set foot on the globe, or wherever their planes and drones drop bombs.
>>2226728>And these Democrats have the audacity to complain about an imaginary uyghur genocide. Crazy.lol I literally just came across some USAID clown on /r/JewishLeft:

>>2227217It's not. But there's a concerted effort here to label any opposition to Trump as lib, d**cel, cringe, etc.
>>2226167Trying very hard here hazlet. Not gonna work.
>>2227165Good post. And personally I see the Empire as a cancer on the nation.
Though where I disagree, and it’s only a light disagreement, is on front loading foreign policy. For the sake of humanity the American Empire has to fall; however the paradox of that is that—in my view—the best way to get to that point is to get a great mass of Americans to dismantle it themselves. And to get that mass, all this vulgar hatred of America and its people only undermines things. You won’t be able to get a mass of people if they’re convinced the revolution is on someone else’s behalf and not to their benefit.
And that’s the big rub, I think, with modern leftism. The conditions are there. The crises are obvious. But in the West it seems like established left wing orgs can never take advantage of it, because they have this image of only caring about niche minority issues. Hell I’ll even go further and say it seems they deeply despise their own countries and just want to be the ones inflicting collective punishment themselves.
>>2227284It's more insidious imo. By deporting people to a third country, they became inaccessible. CECOT jams communications in like a two mile radius. No visitations for family either.
I'm gonna assume they'll try meet with authorities only to be fed some bs about his case being "pending" or some other bureaucratic excuse. They'll try visit the prison only to be turned away.
>>2227269none of those 3 guys ever ran against obama. ronpaul only made it to republican primaries, bernie only made it to democrat primaries (after Obama) and trump beat hillary and biden, not obama.
also despite all 3 of them being "anti establishment" (but not really) candidates they were very different from each other in their policy goals, strategy, and presentation. That is why I say americans are inconsistent.
>>2227407Obamacare
Hopeful times in general
Generally good time for both mainstream and indie video games
pop music was fun and not dour nor full of outright grifters
America was still ontop
>>2227273>what do you think the solution to this isI'm not sure but it might just be the U.S. flat out being defeated. I'm not saying that as a personal preference because war is not nice, but look at what happened to Germany in World War II. There were German soldiers during the war who knew about what they were doing and were like "damn, we better win this because we're really going to get it bad if we lose." But that's how it played out anyways.
>and why does it not occur to people who think like this that the victims of american imperialism think the exact same thing when american made bombs are dropped on them in the name of pacifying some imagined "national security threat" to americans?I dunno. They don't communicate with those people? It's like the people we're bombing become some abstraction.
I went and saw "Warfare" recently… interesting movie. It's co-directed by a guy who was in the battle depicted on screen, and it shows Iraqi insurgents rocking a group of Navy SEALs and winning the battle. (Counterstrike voice: TERRORISTS WIN.) It's not like American Sniper which still had that message of patriotic Americans vs. bad-guy terrorists who make the American sniper feel sorry for himself or whatever. But in Warfare, the insurgents despite being Al Qaeda-type guys in Ramadi didn't really come across as "terrorists" to me, they're just a deadly and effective enemy. There's also a terrified Iraqi family who we don't learn much about, but for whom the American occupation of their house is a nightmare.
>>2227407He's very charismatic.
Also he avoids being in the news most of the time so "absence makes the heart grow fonder" and all that.
>>2227468college educated are more likely to be demonkkkraps and 18-21 haven't finished college yet
also millennials got a more "woke" flavored education than the youngers are getting. we're doing "patriotic" (revisionist reactionary nationalist) education now which makes people into rethuglikkkans
Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. § 251–255)
a. 10 U.S.C. § 251
>If there is an insurrection in a State, the President, at the request of the State’s legislature, or the Governor if the legislature cannot be convened, may call NGs of other States into Federal service as well as use the Federal military to suppress the insurrection.
b. 10 U.S.C. § 252
>Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages or rebellion against authority of United States makes it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by judicial proceedings, the President may call into Federal service the militia of any State and use the Federal military to enforce the laws or suppress the rebellion. Such authority was exercised in Arkansas in 1957, Mississippi in 1962, and Alabama in 1963.
c. 10 U.S.C. § 253
>The President can use the NG and/or the Federal military to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if: (a) it so hinders the execution of law of that State and of the United States and it deprives citizens of constitutional rights (e.g., due process); or (b) it opposes or obstructs the execution of laws or impedes the course of justice. In the event of the deprivation of rights, the State is deemed to have denied its citizens equal protection of laws.

My fear of the administration has once again been overshadowed by sheer anger. Surely it's very healthy that I'm constantly seesawing back and forth between either wanting to hide out in a bunker or wanting to lead the armies of Norsca on Washington and make RFK Jr into a tapistry

They will flay babies alive and broadcast it to the world, and it still won't be enough for them.
>>2227572>>2227587Are you guys like actually diagnosed autistic? Or just meme autistic? He's obviously talking about severe autistics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonverbal_autism>Some autistic people may not speak at all. In fact, around 25 to 30 percent of children with ASD are minimally verbal (which means they speak fewer than 30 or so words) or don’t speak at all. You guys have heard of autism helmets right? You've never seen that shit before? These people will literally start trying to kill themselves by banging their heads on whatever they can so they need to keep them in helmets.
I don't know what the basis for including all these various kind of conditions under the same word, but a lot of autism isn't about being soccially awkward. A lot of autism is basically just literal retardation.
>The term profound autism is defined as having an autism score of less than 50 or being nonverbal or minimally verbal. Children with profound autism require help with tasks of daily living. Many have epilepsy and behaviors like self-injury and aggression that require round-the-clock support to be safe.Feb 10, 2025https://childmind.org/article/what-is-profound-autism/ VI. CIVIL DISTURBANCES
>A. Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.” Amendment X to the U.S. Constitution provides that “[t]he powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
>B. DoD policy, as incorporated in DoD I 3025.21, recognizes that the primary responsibility for protecting life and property and maintaining law and order in the civilian community is vested in the state and local government.46Involvement of U.S. military forces will only be appropriate in extraordinary circumstances. Use of the U.S.military under these authorities to conduct law enforcement activities is a specific exception to the PCA. The tiered response to civil disturbances within the states occurs in the following order:
<1. Local and state police.
<2. The state’s National Guard (normally in state active duty status, but may also be Title 32).
<3. Federal civilian law enforcement officials.
<4. U.S. military (may also include the National Guard if federalized in their Title 10 status).
>C. Subject to certain restrictions, the Insurrection Act 47 permits the President to use the Armed Forces in the following circumstances:
<1. An insurrection within a state. The legislature or governor must request assistance from the President. 48
<2. A rebellion making it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States (i.e., federal law) by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings.49
<3. To suppress in any state, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy, if it: (1) hinders execution of state and U.S. law protecting Constitutional rights and the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect those rights (the state is considered to have denied equal protection under the Constitution); or (2) opposes or obstructs execution of U.S. law or justice.50
>D. Federal Response. If the President considers it necessary to use the militia (i.e., the National Guard) or the U.S. Armed Forces, the President must first issue a proclamation directing the insurgents to disperse and retire peacefully.51 Responsibility for the management of the federal response to civil disturbances rests with the Attorney General of the United States. As discussed above, if the President decides to respond to the situation, the President must first issue a proclamation to the persons responsible for the insurrection. The proclamation is prepared by the Attorney General of the United States and directs the people involved in the disturbance to disperse within a limited period of time. The Attorney General of the United States appoints a Senior Civilian Representative of the Attorney General (SCRAG) as the action agent. At the end of the period identified in the proclamation, the President may issue an execute order directing the use of the use of Title 10 Armed Forces.
>E. The DoD Response. SECDEF has reserved to himself the authority to approve support in response to civil disturbances.52 Since the primary responsibility for response to civil disturbances is vested in the State and local governments, if Federal military is approved to provide support, the Federal military personnel remain under Federal control.53
>F. Emergency Employment of Military Forces.54
<1. U.S. military forces shall not be used for civil disturbances unless specifically directed by the President, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. §§ 251-255. There is a very limited exception to this rule. When in extraordinary emergency circumstances, where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale unexpected civil disturbances.55 This authority is extremely limited. U.S. military action is permitted only when:
a. Such activities are necessary to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property,and are necessary to restore governmental functioning and public order, or
b. When duly constituted federal, state, or local authorities are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or fundamental federal function.
<2. Other Considerations. Although employment under these authorities permits direct enforcement of the law by U.S. military forces, the U.S. military’s role in law enforcement is supplementary versus primary. Any employment of Federal military forces in support of law enforcement operations shall maintain the primacy of civilian authority.
>>2227572>What the fuck, they actually think we're all barely sentient zombies who are incapable of conscious thought.No they are just saying that to dehumanize you.
>What the fuck is wrong with these peopleThey are nazis.
>>2227649>Sure. Also show the study that I.Q is real autism score isn't real, it's just a measurement designed to asses intellectual disability.
>and should be a factor on when people should deserve to live, love or die.Who said that? No one is advocating for euthanasia. I personally and I know other people who work with these kind of people think it would be best to abort them before they're born.
And anyways that's besides the original point of discussion of whether literal retardation is part of the ASD and whether this statement:
>kids with autism will never have a job or fall in love, as according to him, they won't be able to play sports, write creatively, or use the bathroom unattended either. "These are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted," RFK Jr. said.is true or not.
>>2227736Trump forum response to this and a judge saying would hold trump in contempt
They are openly saying they want to kill judges nice
>>2227759The youtube commens bot farm is openly calling for the imprisoning and deportation of all liberals/democrats.
The astroturf is shifting to kristallnacht.
>>2227759>>2227761Uuuuh guys
The closest thing I have to a weapon in my house is a knife
Are my nachtes gonna get kristall'd?
>>2227786Pissreal's reactionary tendencies are all because they are subsidized by the US, just like how Argentina is still libertardians because the IMF keeps bailing them out. It's an ideological project held up by duct tape.
However considering that I doubt they'll run out of funds, you may still be correct tho
>>2227776Well they'll send a swat team after you and either drone strike your house or double tap your brains on the ground. Once again, all of this shit is a trap in order to round up leftists en masse. I think this is why the government is hoping for actual leftist resistance, because it'll be easier to round them up as political prisoners. We need all the bodies we can get for our moment, we don't need leftists getting themselves killed or deported. We can continue to have discreet meetings, and while we are posting on the internet use vague language, abstract language in order to protect yourself from FBI honeypots looking to arrest you for what you say online.
Remember for all your meetings in real life leave your phones in a discreet place, a secure place away from where it's microphones can pick up sound. Change locations of meetings each time, stick to analog forms of communications. We can have our discussions and criticisms of the current state of things on the internet but for practical action please guys, keep it out of the record.
Again, the best move you can make is not move, not openly at least. The best thing this administration is doing for us is forcing us to organize underground and leaving them out of the loop, vet your members as well.
>>2227776>Fuck it, let them come. I'll stand my ground.what does that even mean? actually nvm, idk.
>>2227779>I'd argue the bot farms are a large part of how the fascists managed to get into power. Just a constant deluge of bullshit being algorithmically fed into the brains of the easily fooled.Yep. The right has been using them for years, well, decades at this point, inc heavily in other smaller polities, it now being core feature of US politics is probably n inflection point, one way or the other.
>>2227780I used to believe this too. Now i'm not so sure.
aaa
>>2227806I hope your shit is encrypted. Destroy evidence. Don't let them in. Don't talk to them. Don't anything. Call a lawyer if you can afford it. Call family members and friends. Etc.
You're probably lying but doesn't hurt to remind people.
>>2227802What have you read?
