In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

The latest episode of This American Life is about this. It’s really fucking scary those protestors got 30 years for moving boxes while the capitol protestors got a slap on the wrist and a presidential pardon.
I am so sick of this pen-faced alien being given a mic.
Well, unfortunately for him if you go far left enough, you get your guns back… Just saying…
Unfortunately.for us, in a fascist dictatorship that is as well armed as our, it is incredibly unlikely for a local revolution to succeed. Its almost always external forces that allow a regime of this caliber to be toppled.
External forces are already working on that. We still have a responsibility to resist. They do this because they believe they can afford the consequences.
Make it expensive for them.
If you think im suggesting it is futile and to roll over, you have wildly misunderstood.
every attack is a confession
Americans will listen to this and then just drive to their shitty jobs they hate like everything is normal. They don’t fucking care.
Americans wouldn’t mind if leftists are “rooted out”.
It’s not that I don’t care. I just need to exhaust all alternatives before I simply accept that my family likely dying is the only option.
That’s basically the average the country is left with between the decent people and the tens of millions who voted for idiotic racist rapist fascism three times in a row.
It’s like a third don’t care, a third do care, and a third are enthusiastically in favor.
A third “do care” as long as “caring” requires literally no real effort, risk, or sacrifice on their part. They care performatively, which is as good as not caring at all.
It’s really fucking easy to be a tough guy on the Internet. Congratulations.
Edit: lol the meme generator’s US flag drop-in only has 49 stars
Quit your bitching and state how you’re helping. You keyboard warriors are fucking annoying, man.
US Americans, especially white US Americans, are incapable of doing anything because a violent revolution of their state is against their material interests and they know it. This is why settler US Americans are not part of the global proletariat. For the global proletariat violent revolution is a either a side step in material reality or a benefit but the settler US Americans, like Israelis, benefit materially from their state via subsidy and sharing in the global extraction from the empire.
You don’t even know if he’s American or not.
And even if he is, what difference does it make? You’re in a Lemmy comment section. People are going to write what they’re thinking. Even if they don’t, this sort of thing will still be in their heads. Which you can’t even blame anyone for considering how impotent the masses are in the US. Thoughts like these are perfectly understandable regardless of who it’s coming from.
I am American, I was making fun of the keyboard warrior I replied to, and Poe’s Law is way too fucking strong in this space. 🙄
Yes, my point was more that you being or not being American is irrelevant in this context, considering the USA’s status as the global hegemond (thereby causing everyone to have a stake in it regardless). My thoughts still stand.
No, they’re not “understandable”.
people are going to write what they’re thinking
And I’ll keep telling them how much of a useless fuck they are when, they too, aren’t putting their fucking necks out on the line to stem this.
Do you care to explain exactly why it’s not understandable?
In any case, you’re getting angry at the wrong people. This is counter-productive.
I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouruh.

Nazis traditionally labeled people on the opposite end of their political spectrum the enemy and it’s not long before they are disappeared on a consistent basis.
I wonder if the people who are in the place to act are going to be able to stop the next Kristallnacht before it happens.
They already got the concentration camps in place.
Please use the term Progromnacht. Kristallnacht is how the Nazis named it and is highly euphimistic.
Zionazi
Not just the United States, the whole world.
Embarrassing how these thugs are still assigned to control the country
Did it hit differently in its original German?
Herr Müller the Nazi troll was once cursed by a wizard for being too evil.
Funny, I feel the same about Nazis like him.
Hope Miller ending will ressemble Mussolini. Can’t wait to spit on his hanging corpse
Playing this?
I thought Miller was a beer, but apparently it’s also a “White House Deputy Chief of Staff”, whatever that is. What does that person do? It sounds like a glorified HR title for an insecure person.
Chief of staff basically is the ring leader who coordinates all the other flunkies in the cabinet.
Oh, right.
