“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X Saturday night.

Big yikes. "Insurrectionists"? Bloody hell.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Tomorrow's headline. "Insurgents".

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

How is a peaceful protest in LA an "Insurrection," while violently attacking cops and raiding the Capitol to stop the certification of the vote, is not?

Yep, I do. It's because they are Traitors and Criminals.

Every accusation is an admission.

Conservatism was the original reactionary movement, and it essentially sought to restore the nobility within democracy, complete with the different rules applying to said ingroup. Modern conservatism only differing in the sense that its supporters really want to become part of said ingroup.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago

conservatism/liberterinism,dont realize the ingroups, are the oligarchs only.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

the point of protesting is the escalation. this is success.

[–] Recent@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

The authorities wouldn't send the National Guard if they thought they could just ignore you. So i'd say this is a success.

Anyone remember what this was from?

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That works until people the conservatives don't like start arming up. Like Black Panthers.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Do t put faith in organizations put faith in yourself and your community. Don't get used by an organization.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Like the rappers that brag about fucking with police... But really just hide and tuck dick.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well then everyone the conservatives don't like need to start arming up before they realize the gun control they always wanted exists, but only to keep "mental ill" people from buying them and the only things considered illnesses are things conservatives don't like.

[–] Nyoka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Breaking through the mental wall for anti-2A liberals unfortunately only happens once it's too late to get effective training, if it happens at all...

A gun/gear group I know of recently tried to donate money to a charity for queer folks in the the south. The charity denied the donation because "they don't take money from anyone who uses firearms for work" (paraphrased).

Let's take a moment to digest that.

I recently got a small group of gay/trans/ally/hiking friends to a range and I think it's going to be a more regular thing. I have a couple and another person had several, and the range does rentals. One of us (who'd never even fired a gun) has a small piece of property and they ended up trying/purchasing a little 10/22 to take out to their property to start trying to get some small game. I'm deep in the a red state though so convincing more on-the-fence/marginalized people to protect themselves isn't hard given the right conversation.

I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they're controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It's really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they're winning.

The coup was successful, they're in power and if they don't want to give it up they won't.

Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

Could this be the start of the Second American Civil War?

I predicted over six months ago that the US wouldn't make it past July 4th, 2025. Only a few weeks away and reporters are being shot by police and posse comitatus has been violated. Soon the actual armed forces of your nation will be in the streets and you will have a choice to make.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

Not my country 👍

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago

No, they'll keep escalating through next summer. By then, we'll have had hyperinflation, food shortages, Luigi's trial, deportations of naturalized/ birthright citizens, arrests of elected officials, etc. and things will get really ugly. That's when the MAGA Nazis will have their Tiananmen Square moment, probably in multiple cities, and HitlerPig will declare Martial Law, and suspend the Midterm election for the first time in American history. That will protect his Congressional majorities, and keep the Democrats from gaining any investigative, subpoena, or arrest powers. Once elections are suspended, he's president forever.

THAT will be the end.

Meh...this reminds me of the Portland riots a few years ago. Shit was crazy and really intense but the U.S. didn't fall apart if that is what you are alluding to. We just kept on picking up our shovels and shovelling shit.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Portland doesn't control anything in the US. It's not even among the top 10 cities. LA is a totally different deal.

Even LA won't mean the end of the government, but a military attack on one of the biggest cities in America is a enormous warning to the resistance that the MAGA Nazis are willing to do ANYTHING.

If any other nation launched a military attack on LA, we would absolutely consider it an act of war, and if the MAGA Nazis use the military against American citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights, ALL American citizens should also consider it an act of war against us by our own government.

[–] ThraawnSolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yup...and what will we do about it? Nothing. They could blow up California and we still wouldnt do shit. Pearl Harbor, cold war, 9/11, foreign enemy? We got you covered buddy. Put micro transactions in Battlefront 2. We got you covered buddy. Throw a Nazi salute on live TV...we miiiiight stop buying your product..seems like we are making some progress there. Reverse Roe v Wade....hmm..

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

It's still early, HitlerPig hasn't even been in power for 6 months, and look how much chaos he's caused. We couldn't have imagined this a year ago.

It can get much worse, and it will, if for no other reason than he intends to push the American people relentlessly until they do fight back. Then he can justify hurting them.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Talk to me when the marines land in LA.

[–] Waffle@infosec.pub 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Dang, C U next Tuesday, I guess.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

700 Marines landed today, apparently.
