You know I gotta ask, does that really count as a rally given that there's like six people even listening?

gently caress, really pilot testing the coming climate genocide. And it seems so easy too when it's out of sight enough that some plausible deniability is maintained so everyone who prefers not to see it (which is almost everyone) is given an out. And people will keep wondering how it was that millions and millions of people would watch by and not even notice the largest genocide operations in history.

There's also this gem https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...omeless-people/ quote:The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the administration is considering razing tent camps, creating new temporary facilities or refurbishing government facilities as part of Trump’s directive on homelessness. The changes would attempt to give the federal government a larger role in supervising housing and health care for residents.

FAUXTON posted:yeah I heard that back in 2016 and everyone "freaking out about camps and mass kidnappings" turned out to be right Remember all those lectures back then about how our robust Federal institutions would handily resist the worst of Trumps impulses, and although he would make things worse, he wouldn't be able to do very much damage because he was too incompetent? Well now I.C.E. has given themselves the literal authority to deport whoever they want without a shred of due process- and these vaunted institutions have responded either with a shrug or by legally validating I.C.E.

I'm sure it didn't help that they'd just spent eight years seeing Obama accomplish squat except wars and a health insurance company handout and convinced themselves it was just too drat hard to actually change anything in America.

This poo poo's getting so weird. I occasionally look at the chan poo poo holes just to see what's happening with the crazies. Recently I saw that cuckold thing the black spade image with Q's all over it and thought, well that's loving weird. I mean I think what they're trying to do is link concepts that are otherwise unrelated together, just by mashing the symbolic representations together. In Prester's image I think they're trying to link Christian salvation and Q. It's not dissimilar to fox news trying to link something like measles outbreaks to immigrants (instead of rich white people).

They get a bit worse every time they see someone not immediately worship them for their ~service~.

I was in a small pizza place the other day and some boomer was yelling at a kid because his pizza was 15 minutes late while the kid was trying to help some other customer at the register. There were a few other people awkwardly standing around watching this ridiculous scene; I've never seen someone be this loud of an rear end in a top hat in public. I told the guy he was a loving chump for verbally beating up a kid at work, asked him what the gently caress was wrong with him and then when he didn't respond asked him if he felt like a Big Man now? Of course the coward didn't say poo poo. The kid was crying outside when I left, I felt so bad for him. Man I hate people

It seems like a huge portion of the left had deeply internalized the idea that the primary reason the progressive agenda wasn't being implemented during Obama's term was because it was so hard to change a bureaucracy as big and efficient as ours. As it turns out: the real reason a progressive agenda has it been implemented is because the billionaires who own Democratic Leadership don't want one implemented. The more I learn about President Obama's domestic agenda, the more I realize that he was just an extremely charismatic spokesperson for the billionaire class. He told the public what the Billionaire's wanted the public to hear, whenever the Billionaire's felt the public needed to hear it.

It hasn't looked to me like the Trump regime has so much been effective at changing the bureaucracy as it's been able to uncover and utilize the powers already granted to the US president and appeal to and set the bureaucracy free to do what it wants through the implicit promise to shield them from repercussions breaking certain laws could have. So even though you're right about Obama, there is a much higher bar to pass to be able to do left wing reform. Cactus posted:Life seems to be a constant series of realizations that you have been tricked or lied to about something. Tell me about it, the realization I probably hate most is how rule of law is more of a nice story about how some countries have the right and responsibility to dominate others than an actual thing. I mean don't get me wrong, there are differences in degree between countries to how much powerful people and bureaucrats have to follow the law, but they're just degrees and also pretty flexible. uncop has issued a correction as of 22:34 on Sep 15, 2019 |

I do wonder just even in a best-case scenario left-wing government, so many fundamentally racist and fascist institutions are going to have to be completely dismantled, and quite possibly disarmed by force. And the institutional support for them might well mean it will become necessary to label them as terrorist groups.

Disband ICE and even if as few as 10% of them were "bad apples" spoiling the bunch, that 10% still exists. They will need new jobs, and they'll look for jobs that give them power over vulnerable people. Or they are angry and unemployed, but still dangerous and joining whatever association of angry men will have them. Eventually the "good guys" will come to the inevitable conclusion that the only option is to lance the boil and remove the poison. Which, at best, involves sending them to re-education camps or gulags. At which point the bad apples who managed to lie low join the staff of the new camps and continue their previous abusive habits. Everybody will be vaguely aware of this, but at least the guys who are being abused really deserve it this time, right?

The thing about ICE/CBP/DHS guys is they're probably not making a lot of money, definitely not more than they could get as like a security guard or even a regular job where they're not pointing a gun at people. They do it because they want to, even the "good" ones.

It's hard to say given a shitload of fascist wannabes talk a big game but will scatter immediately at the slightest actual pushback. Fascists don't do martyrs, because violence and domination are key to their whole thing. Of course, actually doing the pushback when fascists are protected by the authorities at every juncture is the hard part.
