I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    This is fascism.

    People are dying. People will continue to die. I’m saddened and scared by what is happening

      Unfortunately, even if we make it through this, a lot of people are going to die. Hell, a lot died already thanks to orange shit mussolini downplaying covid.

      Idk what’s scarier, masked federal agents executing Americans on the streets or Americans continuing to do nothing about it. They, as a people and a society, are okay enough with this to not go out of their way to stop it.

          A nation of savages that cant risk their own creature comforts to stop pedophiles and murderers. Remember that any one of them could be a mass shooter, they should be banned from entering other countries for nation security.

        Ahhhh yes it’s actually our fault! How silly of us! I live in rural Arkansas without enough money to buy gas to get to Minnesota, so please do tell what you expect me to do.

          Inform people what happened, explain to the ones that you know will listen and understand how as welly why it’s wrong. How ICE is serving as an internal terror organization within this country. Not everyone can go out shooting but make a meal for those who do kinda thing.

            What makes you think I don’t do all of those things? I’m just not out killing people and then dying myself so what’s the fucking point right? Blood for the blood god!

            So many people act like it’s no big deal to start a violent revolution against the most militarized government in history and it’s fucking absurd.

              not at all. but what it is, is necessary.

              i know it’s fucking crazy, but here we are. America has been taken over by fascists. They are not just going to leave. The suffering, for not just America but the world, will only get worse until the American public, the State governments, the military, do what needs to be done.

              I’m sorry that America is at the point of Civil War, but it is. That fact isn’t just going to go away. No one is coming to save America.

              I honestly think, deep down, most Americans know this. But the reality of it, the shock of it, is just too great. The cognitive dissonance is too overwhelming.

                but what it is, is necessary.

                WRONG. Becoming violent at this point is the single most idiotic, stupid thing we could do right now.

                That’s what this escalation is designed to provoke.

                Do you really think the US government does not know how to deal with violent protests? It’s what they want.

                “When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” – John Lennon

                  sure bud. good luck hugging your way to freedom while ppl die.

                  we all recall how historically fascism was defeated through hugs and jokes.

                    Nice try, tell that to Gandhi. There is a time and place for violence. This is not yet it. And Europeans were not the only ones who bled to free the world of fascism; you say that like you have a monopoly on it while I lost multiple members of my family to WWII. I don’t have to push others into battle to satisfy my insecurity.

                    But what’s really interesting is that you clearly have no understanding of this city, or what Minneapolis went through almost six years ago: this is not new territory.

                    Yet if you’re convinced that violence truly is the answer, tell me what time your plane lands in Minneapolis and I’ll meet you. I won’t hold my breath: it’s not like you have any real interest in being anything but a keyboard larper.

                    EDITED TO ADD: I took a look at your post history. Here’s your recent post in /c/[email protected]: “Everything about America is a lie. all of it. a lawless nation of slaves, cowards and fascists.” If that’s all we are, then why are you even here, other than to jack off over what’s going on here?
