"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” James Madison

They don’t expect nonviolent organization and cooperation.

I have finally seen the power of the American people in something as simple as these small town halls. This regime is not expecting organized, nonviolent resistance and doesn’t know what to do when confronted with it. This outrage, and these numbers, are only going to increase! Deeply encouraging!

As circumstances get more desperate the solidarity needed to do this will become easier and easier to find, because the urgency of the moment, the threat we’re facing, will be totally transparent. People will be desperate and afraid and feel powerless, wanting to fight back, but not knowing how.

It seems clear: we simply have to confront Republicans in the public sphere (everywhere!) voicing our disapproval. The more suffocating and oppositional the public sphere, the more motivated they will be to distance themselves from the destructive policies that motivate this opposition.

I keep up to date with the pace of this regime. Things look bleak it’s true— BUT— and you must understand, I live in the domain of negative dialectics (I’m an anti-idealist in this sense) and yet I see real hope! The resistance of the American people is powerful, and can be effective! 👉

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

God, why are our societies so messed up, they always seem to devolve into tyranny; why do people keep on getting manipulated by tyrants? God: that’s my fault, I kind of fucked up. I made you with a vulnerability to scapegoating. It just always seems to work no matter how outlandish or repetitious

It’s not just America— the fate of the free world hinges on whether or not America becomes an authoritarian axis of evil along with China and Russia. What’s happening in America won’t just decide the fate of Americans, it will determine the course of the free world!

Update to my Canadian friend: (are these dispatches from America, or dispatches from the Weimar Republic?)

I think there’s an effect where people are completely tuned out, and then suddenly, they see some extreme actions from the regime (transparent authoritarianism), it becomes undeniable— but they go along with the official narrative because it’s too painful to face the reality that they were duped.

What we are actually doing here is educating our fellow Americans, pulling them out of the MAGA matrix, and essentially, using the intelligence of social psychology to do it. This is the immediate revolution we need! How to get this message out?

The Pragmatics of Anti-Coups: 1. Resistance should come as early as possible and be as strong as possible, before the regime has had time to solidify its power. 2. One must not play into the hands of the fascists through violence, providing them with a justification for violence.

Once upon a time, the Christian fanatics got so bad in America that it was necessary for Atheists and Catholics to join forces for the good of humanity.

Anti-Humanism. Instead of investing in the development of humans, one seeks to make robots to replace humans. Surely there is something seriously wrong with this picture?

I suspect Musk is going to throw tens of millions off of SNAP & Social Security. He will do it exactly how he has done all the other cuts, swiftly but illegally. The fallout from this! The fallacious assumption of the Republicans is that people don’t actually need these programs: people will starve!

If you considered posting something critical of the Trump regime but then decided against due to fear for retaliation, then you are no longer living in a democracy.

The American people have a real fight on their hands. It’s a fight not only for their freedom and the freedom of their children, but a fight for the freedom of the world. If America becomes part of an axis of evil, freedom will be tragically outnumbered in the world.

All Americans should start asking the military on social media: “will you kill us for assembling in defense of the Constitution, because a man who claims he’s above it, orders you to do it?”
