Holy fuck. Some finally have the balls to stand up and fight and a bunch of you are all...this is wrong. Escalation and violence is not ok...or...but they have so many big guns.
Your country is run by a fucking dictator. Your own people are being forcefully removed from their homes and families and put in concentration camps.
Unbelievable.

So glad I never joined the National Guard cause I would definitly refuse to go, and if forced, join the side of of the ones fighting ICE.
Well, we always knew #RATM were right, but no one expected yet another playbook decades after this album was released in 1999. It all feels that unreal... 😔
"I liked them before they got all political" -- Some Republican dumbass.
I can only assume they thought Bulls on Parade was about a family holiday to the beach.
The video for "Freedom" was the first time many in Gen X learned about AIM and Leonard Peltier.
RATM is half the reason for my political awareness and absolutely why I know about AIM (and that Val Kilmer movie but RATM is why I actually looked into it).

"Quick! The Gestapo is running into resistance, send in the SS!"
Threaten the 4th largest economy in the world with leverage you don't really have. Encourage escalation tactics for illegal detainment of peoples under the jurisdiction and protection of the Constitution. Ignore the Constitution and normalize the absurd use of the term deportation. Cry about it on social media and then throw a fit and send troops to peaceful protests ( as per LAPD ).
Frail ideology.
“…The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.*

If this turns into an American Tiananmen Square, you're going to end up knocking a star off that flag.

I hope this don't turn to a civil war
I mean the Nazis aren't going to go ohh my bad we should have another try at the election.
The options at this point are 1: a civil war or 2: surrendering to the fascist regime.
Well, we won't call it that. Vietnam was techincally "a police action", but we all know it was a war. This police action will get folks killed in an effort to take prisoners, which sure sound like a...
Also Nixon's distraction from his own problems
I just don’t see how a civil war could start. It’s not like back in the day where you could just amass an army without the state really knowing
The amount of intel the state has means that nothing will get off the ground
I guess if like a state and it’s national guard would revolt and other states join them? Seems very unlikely though

This is what 2A is for. This is what Madison feared.
That is exactly how we embolden fascism. Madison advocated for a well-regulated militia, not 1-2% of the population throwing cinder blocks and M80s. We needed numbers before allowing them to bait us into escalation.
Hegseth has the Marines standing by, and the Insurrection Act will be next. This is Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

Edit: Please share this.
They don't need any actual justifications to "embolden" them, in the absence of actual resistance they'll just lie to justify doing exactly what they were always planning in doing, this is not s good reason to passively accept anything they're doing

elon could do the funniest thing here and declare open rebellion against tyranny
That's like British Empire vs Deep South Confederacy.
The funniest thing he could do is drive a cybertruck off a cliff.
I was gonna go with "accidentally share evidence that DJT manipulated the 2024 election results with his help".
No need. Here's the data about the failed attempt in 2020 and the successful attempt in 2024.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
*Let the FSD cybertruck drive him off a cliff while demonstrating how good it is at not doing that.
