Terfs protecting women athletes, or, something?

American culture is imperialism.

Disobedience, disruption and sabatoge at every opportunity is the only chance the US citizenry has to oust the fascists without a civil or world war.

Nope, I didn’t take it as belligerence either, just wanted to confirm I agree.

Making a statement that minimizes state violence because it’s against a state that undertakes state violence is still minimizing state violence. In this instance it is minimizing the violence of a genocidal state that is far more violent than the state it is attacking for undertaking state violence.

Yes, I’m only referencing deaths attributed to direct military action - or the IDF’s direct murder of children with bullets and bombs. This is not to minimize the horror they have inflicted through genocidal policy.

Israel has murdered at least 21,000 CHILDREN over the past 30 months. To think that they have any moral standing is moronic at best, but more likely pure evil.

Go to shows, buy the albums from the merch tables and use the events (to the best of your individual ability) as a means to connect with like minded anti-fascists.

Come hang out in -35c and then talk to me.

We got em in our Kia and they’re amazing this time of year.

Civil war/sabotage from within are option too, but I am not seeing any sense of leadership emerging on either of those fronts (not to say it would/should be obvious).

Tyranny has taken over - staying is a choice to live in fascism. Fascism does not die from within, it does a slow death from being excommunicated from the world or it dies a quick death as the world responds to it’s expansionist tendencies. It does not die because people stop voting for it.

That anyone would want to be part of a regime that oppressive and call it freedom is insane, to put it lightly.

You only have to pay them if you move back to the US (and want to work). It’s not like other governments disclose your finances to the US.

No, but there will be a war front that you can position yourself on the not-scum side of.

Totally fair - being stateless is objectively worse that being hated by your state (I don’t mean that sarcasticly, it’s fucked up on so many levels)

Fascism is always a possibility anywhere in the world. The difference is that it’s here and now in the US. I sure as shit would be doing everything I could to not be there anymore if I were there. It’s fucking scary enough watching it from Canada and I won’t have any hesitation to flee if the tanks start rolling in this direction.

You’re totally right, no other dictator has ever taken an oppressive position to their intelligentsia and those that remained in fascist nations have been super effective at degrading it from within… Just look at the USSR, Italy, Spain or Chile under their fascist leaders. They all were super supportive of their institutions of higher learning and those that remained stopped all kinds of atrocious government actions. They were all better off for staying put. /s

Doesn’t matter in the context of the comment thread. I’m simply saying people do, and Americans can too, if that’s what they need to do to escape participation/subjection of the evil empire.

Can’t you denounce your citizenship? It’s also not possible for them to force you to pay taxes on income you don’t earn in the US - unless you want to return at some point. I hope you’re some place safe that respects your identity now.
