People who are still writing stately essays about how 'fascism has arrived at our doorstep’: My dudes, autocracy rode down the escalator a decade ago. We get it, we've all read our Hannah Arendt. Hit the streets with the rest of us or find another way to make yourselves useful. The ship has sailed.
Comments
social services, etc. We never voted for any of this. People were fooled by the Republican & Democrat lies & propaganda. 2 parties, 1 goal: serve billionaire employer class.
George Orwell is fine, but Arendt is textbook accurate— universally true of any authority and illuminating without metonymical allegory.

Are you even as bold as the Jan 6 rioters?
No. You're a liberal, not a revolutionary. Talk is cheap.
There are still a lot of Americans who haven't heard the news and need to get hip. If a stately essay gets a few people there then by God I'll take a case of them.
tesla dealerships are sparse. Tesla chargers are common. Label those chargers for what they represent! Remind every tesla drivers, what their car means NOW. Remember shoes are a key identifier.

I agree 1,000,000%. Wanted to share this
I say keep writing the essays, inform as many people as you can.
Unfortunately most Americans do not see fascism, refuse to believe authoritarianism can happen in US (“our Constitution prevents it”), and too many are “both sides are the same”.
I too saw fascism as soon as he came down the escalator. Few did.
It’s the only thing that would have any effect beyond an army of luigis
Lots of independents left both parties before the election, & are continuing to leave.
As one of them, I've been waiting for all the "activists" to stop paying attorneys to complain & start moving their people into the street.
It's happening, but the other side is still moving faster.
THEY CANT KILL US ALL
Stop government. Lock the doors. Block the halls. Obstruct, disrupt, jam the cogs. Call, email, show up to your reps offices relentlessly. Ruin golf games, ski trips, dinners, book tours. Boycott, defund, divest.

You're in the first 2%, talking with the first 5%.
Gaining more supporters is critical, esp in Congress.
Most DNC Dems are still in the Late Majority, have NOT come over yet.
It's time, pass it on

Thank you for the chuckle. Onwards.

Aghast at the apathy in the US, and the complete dissociation from responsibility with comments like, 'not *my* President'.
It's been a long trip with so many asleep at the wheel.
This is todays Viet Nam A thousand times worse.

Unless by "party," you mean the rank-and-file. There is some hope that they will eventually wake up to the fact that the DNC is an illusion to siphon off discontent.
who sicced those cops on students protesting a us-armed genocide
who slow-walked prosecuting literal insurrectionists
maybe someone who gaf might be a good choice

It's your turn white men.
Although, we all know they won't. So, we might as well
There are other truly free-market systems of economic democracy flourishing in the world, even in the U.S.
Collective action is it's own education
A) Ours
B) Soon to be ours and
C) NATO’s fault
It is our right, it is our duty. If they take-up the responsibility it will avert a civilian civil war.

Another American murdered by the israeli terrorists.
..i think at this point most everyone realizes the "high level of control" was never actually a 'trope'
They murder American aid worker.... Biden (the US government) then sends them MORE weapons and MORE taxpayer money.
The israel/America corruption is appalling.
Hell...it made it self cozy on the couch and helped itself to the left over pizza and beer in the fridge already.
Time to get out there and act is now.
These people will be sitting in jail cells contemplating their next book on "The Differences in Arrest, Due Process, and Torture Under Democratic vs Authoritarian Regimes". Ugh. 🤦🏽♀️
The US needs its own 1789.

Some of us have forgotten that, and chosen idol worship.
