They’re right, no one is safe. We’ve already seen the creep: first it was violent illegal immigrants, then it was any illegal immigrants, then it was immigrants waiting for due process on their case, then it was green card holders - not necessarily a lot of them, but enough to establish precedents and see how far they can get.
Now they’re saying “violent US citizen-criminals” - but they run the state that determines whether you’re a criminal and how violent your crimes was. Remember all those videos of non-resisting people being screened at by the cops "Stop resisting!; remember bills in Florida and other states to label trans people sex offenders - that’s what we’re up against. Any resistance or non-conformity can and likely will be punished.
"First they came for … "
This is actually happening faster than it did in Nazi Germany.
Well. Might as well say it now: if they’re going to take you down, take as many with you as you can.
Because if you end up in a foreign prison, you probably aren’t coming back.
How much do you think we could crowdfund to buy out some foreign prisons and turn them into revolving doors that the US government pays to take prisoners, and then just lets them go. Unfortunately, I’m sure I’m not the first person with this idea, except the others with the idea are human traffickers who want slave labor.
Alternatively, we steal Elon’s dumb tunnel digger, and go put a basement door in some foreign prisons now.
I bet Corecivic and Geo group aren’t happy they aren’t getting 100% of that sweet sweet government money.
Although knowing this fucked up world they more than likely own the prisons elsewhere too…
I think they’re starting with foreign prisons until the process becomes more normalized. Right now it would be too risky, the victims would have too many pesky rights. Need lawyers and journalist afraid of being sent to the El Salvador Death Camps before we can open the American ones.
Why are there so many people itching to hurt others? Let’s take our hands and resist, people. I am not even American but I am scared for you all, and for me as well. We’re seeing that taking down Democracy was easier than we expected.
Because America would rather go full Nazi than take accountability for its troubled past
Would the cliche “hurt people hurt people” work here?
I mean… kinda? Its no excuse, but Trump, Musk and the lot of them seem to all have deep insecurities rooted in childhood trauma. A toxic culture that encourages abusive behavior and discourages self-reflection and accountability certainly doesn’t help.
The memes about it how these men would rather destroy America then see a therapist are pretty real.
I once made a video called “make Trump do LSD” and I’m genuinely convinced that a strong dose of shrooms or LSD with proper therapy would actually help sort out people like that.
Honestly, essentially this no matter how ridiculous it seems
Why are there so many people itching to hurt others?
Because privilege is based on exploitation.
…this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise.
I’m going to go ahead and say this is now a categorically false statement.
At the very least, past tense. But laws are just words on paper unless enforced.
It is my belief that laws are not designed to prevent anything. It is merely a legal recourse for when people inevitably do something you don’t want them to do.
For example, my wonderfully progressive (/s) state of North Carolina has laws forbidding using your vehicle’s horn for anything other than a “reasonable warning” to pedestrians and other drivers. It is also illegal to sing out of tune.
And then the shooting started
point of odor, i think it’s renditioned. isn’t rendered when you’re turned to fat?
I mean… What makes you think that’s off the table?
i think they have to do something with glass and trains first
*unless you’re white
I don’t expect that to last.
yeah, you’re right. this is more realistic now:
Oh they’re clearly moving to make that outdated. They want to turn any protestor into a terrorist.
That comment?
It was an observation that darker folks might have more to worry about
mightwill continue to
And straight… and cisgender… and nominally Christian, or at least not overtly Muslim, Satanist, atheist… and not a critic of those in power…
