Google it, I'm not wasting anymore time with you.

Read the fucking ice report that admits 60 some percent of the people detained didn't commit any crimes. Seeking asylum is not a crime.
You don't give a fuck, even when the Nazis admit they're own wrongdoings.

No you won't, you're a disingenuous cunt who refuses what's in front of you.
You're the exact kind of person I'm tired of dealing with. Trying to be nice and explain situations, share articles, have good faith discussions with.
Only to have racist bigots like you deny reality.
Waste of time.

You're a fucking rube, and I feel sorry for whoever has to deal with you on a regular basis.
Walking around with your fingers in your ear declaring that the bad things happening all around aren't real because they haven't come for you yet.

Acting like I need to prove to you what they've been building towards for the last ten years.
If you're choosing to ignore what's happening right now, there's no way you'll understand a breakdown of how fascism from the right has been slowly building towards a complete authoritarian takeover.

You mean like how they've been ignoring judicial orders, bypassing Congress, and "deputizing" ICE agents to kidnap brown skinned citizens to put in detention centers, etc.
You live in a bubble of privilege which is why you're completely oblivious to the atrocities happening right now.

You are a waste of time. I've glanced at your replies, all bad faith nonsense.
"Oh specific things haven't gotten bad enough therefore it can't happen".
You think like a child, and show no interest or ability in understanding nuance or the bigger picture.

Lazy and naive, go read the bill yourself.

You misunderstand my point, the people they're recruiting have "small town supremacist" ideology and fervor.
Obviously LA is huge, but the people terrorizing it won't care as long as that huge population offers little resistance.

The fear of being gunned down by fascists just waiting for an excuse to pull the trigger is very real, unfortunately.
It's going to take a lot of solidarity and probably bloodshed to get past this.
comment in response to
post
Sorry, your question was rhetorical and I get that. Yes people should fight back. But most people value life above all else. It's why fear is so effective.
Have you dealt with white supremacists in small towns before? Because this is them being granted faux power by an illegitimate government...

I assume most people are worried about being shot by an assault rifle. Especially when they believe 🧊 will be pardoned for any crimes against citizens.

Impossible? Bookmark this comment so I can be the one to say I told you so.
That is, unless Americans wise up and a revolution occurs to stop what's coming.

Of the US borders patrol, or the police, or the current problems we have with white supremacy and domestic terrorist groups across the nation just waiting to enforce a dictatorship on others.
Your opinion isn't enlightened or sharp, it's frustratingly naive and will contribute to blood on US soil.

Just because you live in a comfortable bubble where these things don't affect you doesn't make them not real.
Clearly you haven't read anything in the Big Bill they're trying to pass that will shift an incredible amount of power to the executive branch. Clearly you know nothing about the history
comment in response to
post
And what happens when bad actors control all the branches, has judges installed all over, starts appointing loyalists throughout the military, etc.
It's not about Trump, your naivety is showing.
From AIPAC to the Heritage Foundation, there are fascists attempting to consolidate power every day.

VanOrden is a disgrace to Wisconsin.
Not only is the content of that message disgusting; but he's speaking like a selfish, entitled, raised-around-hatred child.
A US representative publishing STFU as a response to anything is embarrassing.

Jesus Christ. When is any of this going to be enough.
No country ever NEEDS to fucking bomb another country.
Resorting to violence means you don't have the cognitive abilities to use reason with other human beings.
I swear every government is run by people who stopped developing at 5 yrs old.

I had unintentionally drifted center over the last ~15 years. Which sucks because I used to read a lot, was way more politically active, and vocal too. Not wholly anarchist, but not this center-left thing I've sort of become.
But you know, life and such.
Anyways, thanks for all your writing.

We get it David, you're just so smart.
Jk, but really I wish I would've found you and other writers like what counterpunch has, 10 years ago. You started me down this rabbit hole of seeking properly intellectual leftists and anarchists and it's been quite humbling.
Reinvigorated, motivated, etc.

This is the most uncomfortable and unfortunate American truth.

Not a good question, this is a joke.
Y'all really out here thinking these well paid Democrats are for the people?
A good question would be: when does the revolution begin?

You're not insane, you're witnessing a very real and unfortunate repetition of history. I know it's not much, but I hope you find solace in knowing that all the lying and contradiction you see is the result of you being wise enough to see it.
Hold on to the truth friend, we're going to need it!

Your neighbors with Trump signs are fucking Nazi sympathizers and if you don't wake up to it this is going to get worse.
These people are gearing up to commit horrific and violent acts against citizens soon, and at scale.
This is why they hate "woke". Woke is being aware of what's coming.
comment in response to
post
I'm so tired of this. Warning people years ago now that this is going to lead to American Nazis demonizing "the left".
This has been coming for a while but people here hate truth because it's difficult to accept.
The American "right" has been a literal domestic terrorist operation for decades.

You mean like they've been successfully doing to fox viewers for 30 years?

Y'all don't understand, this is what the GOP wants. Dismantle & fragment entire industries so the oligarchs can consolidate capital while sneaking political power to them.
Republicans & the ultra rich are a plague to society + they're in bed with each other.
They don't give a fuck about votes now.

Might as well be trying to find common ground with a serial killer.
Well at least we can agree that raspberries are delicious. Ignore the fact that you want me dead and I want you to have healthcare.
Wtf are we doing?

I'm afraid NPR is giving up now that they're being actively targeted by this criminal administration.
This is grade school shit, I can hear the idiot voices with a smug face saying
"heh, you know gravity is still technically a theory, right?" 😏
As they're currently not floating upwards...

I told people he would use this as a lead up to attacking anyone who identifies as a liberal or leftist. If you're not a right leaning loyalist, you're next.
This is absolutely vile rhetoric; it's only purpose is to demonize and "other" those who are ironically not radicalized by this very speech.
comment in response to

Or, what if they only selected members who showed and pledged loyalty to the regime.
Leaving only the most braindead and half-assed to march.
It's not possible to be politically aware, intelligent, and moral while supporting any authoritarian regime.
Loyalists can be cunning, but never wise.

Well this person replied then blocked me so I can't have a conversation with them about it.
What I mean is that the entire system of checks and balances goes out the window as soon as a group reaches a threshold, allowing them to collude against the will of the people, openly.
Full stop.

Because they're a corporation that values capital over everything.
But even if they banned a group, that doesn't stop an individual from renting without identifying the purpose.
And this is just me guessing, but I'd wager the CEO and your management are trumpets.
This is PR damage control.

He's following orders. That's why he seems bored. Because he is. He isn't leading, crunching numbers, or strategizing at all.
He simply gets told what to do with his power. And he doesn't care what happens. He got the biggest pardon possible by being "reelected".
He _is_ the distraction.

This just isn't true at all. The GOP & Heritage foundation have been studying constitutional law, how violations are handled, how protests are handled, mainstream media, and more for nearly 40 years.
Trump isn't an idiot, he's simply a greedy narcissist of the highest order.
He isn't flailing...

You: spend an hour going for a brisk healthy walk down to your favorite coffee shop to enjoy life and all of its little moments.
Me: Have my robot slave spew energy juice into the exact right size cup in 2m flat. I spend the other 58m jacking off because I'm an emotionally stunted loser.

You should anyway, since they're considering it.
Why do we wait until people's livelihoods & human rights are ruined before we publicly shame and oust the snakes that run these companies.
Fuck them for ever having the position of "yeah man idk if u rly deserve a decent wage or any protections".

America never had a proper system of checks and balances.
What they're doing by dismantling the federal government and violating basic human rights is all according to their plan based on how the US government is designed.
The GOP is literally weaponizing the flaws of the government.
