Which American are you?
“We can’t fight back because then the Nazis will take the opportunity to punish us harder”
“it’s not as EASY as you seem to think”
“Yeah, well what have YOU done??”
“Did you not see the VERY effective and not-at-all-a-huge-joke No Kings protests?”
“Keyboard warrior!”
“I can’t have principles, I might lose the shitty job I hate!”
“I believe that every historical revolutionary to whom I owe my prosperity was a Disney character with no family or livelihood at stake and who never really had to risk anything because in my child-brain their victory was guaranteed.”
“Hey, didn’t you see the SUPER effective ‘No Kings’ parades? We did our part, and we’re VERY proud of ourselves. We’re not at all huge cowards.” -the American “resistance”
The Jan 6 rioters had more conviction than the “resistance” seems to
You don’t have 10 years to work this out. Particularly when every media company is capitulating in advance. No Kings was not part of some ongoing movement. It was a weekend and it was as far as Americans are willing to go.
Are you implying that what happened at No Kings was, if not escalating, even ONGOING?
Yes, getting defensive online is the best possible use of your energy right now.
Sure. And it accomplished nothing- if anything, it emboldened the far right who now know that they can accelerate their plans and AT BEST only be met with a “peaceful protest” on a Saturday (if the weather’s nice).
Meanwhile, while No Kings was happening, 4 members of democratic leadership were shot in their homes. They were racking up a body count while “the resistance” was congratulating itself for going outside and holding a sign on a weekend.
Glad someone else is saying it.
No Kings was a joke.
Every day you let him stay there is a day the rest of you are complicit.
I’m currently visiting the US (for work, not by choice) for the first time since 2006- you know what the worst part is?
I’ve been here four days, and if I didn’t intentionally seek out international or reliable news media, I would HAVE NO IDEA that anything had changed. It’s so fucking insidious how benign this garbage can look if you’re not paying close attention. I’m honestly terrified at how fucking normal everything seems, given what’s happening.
“Their job” is to stop this by force
National Guard peeps who ACTUALLY give a shit about your country: you know exactly what to do
Cool.
Nothing changes until more of this trash is scared to leave their homes.
If it was someone actually attempting to make a positive impact I think law enforcement and news agencies will be heavily incentivized to bury the story ASAP.
Who were the targets? This one might actually be interesting.
You waiting for citizens of some other country to come do something about the problem you’ve enabled (after decades of shitty responses to us telling you this exact thing was going to happen)?
You sure do have a low opinion of yourself and your fellow countrymen.
Cool. Keep on being complicit. The rest of us are watching.
Americans? Fat chance. They’ll just whine about your “extreme rhetoric” while sitting on their asses and allowing the Nazis to do as they please.
