I asked the old punk how we will get through this, and he replied: we will get through this by taking care of each other. So I told the old punk that isn’t very specific, and he replied: taking care of each other isn’t about doing something specific, it’s about doing something.

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach. Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state. Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy. And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

communists find a new symbol to represent your ideology challenge 2025.

I can kind of understand people who are so mad about capitalism that they idealize communism. but I will never understand people who think that the USSR was a perfect version of it and that wearing that flag or that emblem means anything other than genocide and death.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Not like “accidentally shot in the chaos and confusion,” there’s nothing going on around her, cop sees that she’s on camera, and shoots her while her back is turned to him.

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.
