#1 Good lord is that Philip DeFranco? Is he sick? He genuinely looks ill, although last time I saw content from him was probably like over a decade. 2012-2014 or so.
These people all need to be imprisoned, or if we can swing, it hanged. The republican party is the American nazi party and should be disbarred from our collective self and denied the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness at a minimum.
I get a surprising amount of my news from PhillyD. Which is wild because I remember back when he was a toxic jackass. Dude is a case study in maturing.
If China or Russia tries to take Greenland, then all of NATO joins together to protect Greenland. "If the US doesn't take Greenland, then one of those countries will". FFS how are his followers this stupid.
There is literally an interview in which JD Vance and Laura Ingraham admit that "if the government were Nazis, it would be your moral duty to violently overthrow them". They were trying to make the case that Democrats were calling for violence. But as they keep going mask off themselves, we should be playing their own words back at them. Frankly they articulated the obligation to overthrow fascists better than Democrats have: https://youtu.be/rX9AAwQ-c00?si=5ZQsq-h_gW3IzqKn&t=172
You know if he was worried about greenland, he could garuntee their independance via an actual deal to defend them should anything happen. Oh wait, no one will make a deal with trump? Maybe he is not good at his one fucking job.
China’s already won the long game anyway. U.S. tech companies have been hiring Chinese nationals for over a decade. I’ve met them. China limited their people’s access to brainrotting internet trash and while it can still be accessed and exists to some extent, not nearly as much as the U.S. has. We let the floodgates open for 30 years. Their cities are more advanced than ours. I’ve been there. They’re better at manufacturing. They’re focused on renewable energy. Americans voted for a dope twice.
We’re never beating the “Americans are all stupid” allegations after electing a moronic white supremacist TWICE and unleashing the current wave of nazis on the world.
Clinton had three million more votes 48% to 46%. Trump won because of a broken electoral college system. And then trump cheated in 2024. He told us he did. My state, Michigan has a female Democrat Governor. A female Democrat was running for Senate on the same ballot but im supposed to believe people happily voted for Slotkin but harris was too far? I've never been one for conspiracy theories, but this one has too much truth in it. Next I'll cover how republicans took control of the supreme court
Oh no, he definitely cheated, but there’s still plenty of Americans who put him in the place to do that and happily cheer for him to this day. I’m in Michigan too, and I live in a rural area. He still has lots of support
So are we, bud. We elect Republican majorities that kill regulations and poison our water supply so fracking companies can get wealthier or so tech companies can run data centers. Nearly every criticism we can lob at China, and there are a lot, America does, too. And America does it to other countries as well. And America has the added bonus of going into a public place and being shot to death by a crazy person.
Right, but we know about companies that pollute, because people reporting on it arent systemically disappeared and the locals left in ignorance. When it happens they get taken to court here, for now, at least. Im not pretending we're perfect, but you are pretending we're the same, which we arent, not yet at least.
No country imprisons more people, in raw numbers or per capita, now or at any time in the history of the world, than the United States of America.
And yes, China has jailed over 100 journalists. But the US is quickly catching up this year. pressfreedomtracker dot us. And Israel already has them beat.
This is a fools statement. They are always going to escalate and head into martial law, etc. That is their goal and they will do it with or without you doing squat. Fascism does not stop because you want to shove your head into the sand and hum really loudly.
Except that CA, OR & IL won shutting down deployment of National Guard b/c Trump Co hasn't been able to show there is a need. If people organize *VIOLENT* action against Federal agents, then Trump Co lawyers can point to that and it opens the door for SCOTUS to be like "yep, *NOW* Trump can deploy troops"
Voting isn't enough (necessary, but not enough alone)
People NEED to take action, people NEED to protest, people NEED to take action
How long are those COD cosplaying (w/ real firearms) 2A gun-nuts going to last against the US military?
Majority of military is Republican, but I saw no hesitation for troops to take back the capital. If it had turned into a shoot out, I'm not thinking many active military would abandon their post and take up arms against the Pentagon.
- ok - Now think what would happen if ICE protestors tried to take on the Federal government
They just provoke, they will ignite some people but the others must identify those people fast and get some distance from them. They will infiltrate people protesting and they will incite to violence.
If you're fighting for your freedom, you must go offline and get to meet people face to face. They have all the surveillance needed already. Imgur is not safe. Sad to see this timeline for a bunch of elite class pdf-files not coping
Bloodshed is going to happen, you want to just sit and take it? Or defend yourself? Like the red necks before us, and the black panthers, and the revolutionary war. You need to take action. The Pen only worked, AFTER significant bloodshed.
1. I think it is protected by the US Constitution for people to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights when they go out to protest the Government, but how that looks depends on state / local laws.
Conceal carry, open carry, on public vs Government property, etc. check local laws
2. I'm not a lawyer, but everything I've read from articles published and from news stories, comes to... yes, there are scenarios where legally you can defend yourself against law enforcement IF they are using excessive force
- BUT - realistically, if you try to defend yourself, it will almost certainly have a bad end result for you and / or others near by, with at least people being arrested or placed in a casket
Further, if people start going out and shoot / kill Federal agents, even if down the line, it could be ruled the Federal agents used excessive force and it was "self defense" long, long, long before any of those cases EVER get to court SCOTUS will support Trump in declaring martial law and every ruling which has stopped Trump from deploying troops will be null and void
So please, please, please DO NOT engage in any action that would allow Trump to declare martial law

THIS! Exactly this. If China or Russia tries to take Greenland, that activates NATO and all NATO nations come to the defense of Greenland.
This should be easy enough for even Trump to understand.

HARD disagree. MAGA brain trust wants "the left" to start using violence so they can use even more violence.
Advocating violence is giving them what they want.

Protest. Resist. Engage without violence.
Trump still has 39% approval. His approval is down a LOT from a year ago. Keep up the non-violent protests. Get more people involved.
Don't get burned out. Find one issue. Organize. Help out w/ the skills you have.
