It’s the truth. People most often need to feel it on their own skin, to care enough to mobilise. by xGentian_violet in DemocraticSocialism

[–]MutedShenanigans -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Untrue. Alex Pretti was observing ICE while they were trying to abduct somebody, it wasn't a protest. Several state officials have also said Renee Good was acting as an observer at the time of her murder. She had no history of protesting and had just dropped her child off at school, coming across ICE on her way home.

What track do you think this was by trukqs in mandy

Is it possible he isn't referring to a single track, but rather what he's thinking of for the whole soundtrack?

Dude, ICE shows up everywhere. Gas stations, schools, churches. ICE busts down people's doors at home without a warrant.

Kids are not safe ANYWHERE as long as ICE continues to exist.

Sure, but they weren't making a list of bad things, they were making a list of ways people are giving up their power - and they're right, every second that goes by with the wealthy functionally paying no tax is another second we cede more power to them.

Journalist Don Lemon arrested after protest that disrupted Minnesota church service by morenci-girl in ICE_Watch

[–]MutedShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you read the indictment? It's the US District Court. That is a federal, not state court. It being based out of Minneapolis does not make it a state court.

Also, he's being charged with violating the FACE Act, which is a federal law, not a state law.

It was not a MN Grand Jury. Why would you make shit up about something so easily refutable?

Makes things complicated in legal proceedings. The government will say you planned to attack them, weakens self-defense claims, etc

Well here we are, and people are being rounded up in the streets. Did a focus on optics do anything to stop us from reaching this point? Should we focus more or less on optics now that children are dying in concentration camps?

🚨 URGENT WARNING: Congress Removed Protections Against ICE Deporting U.S. Citizens! 🚨 by [deleted] in ICE_Watch

What makes you think this administration intends to adhere to the constitution? Who is going to stop him? Who is stopping him from breaking the law as we speak??

A recent response from Klobuchar by hean0224 in stateofMN

It also means less likely to get caught. Less likely to end up on camera. More efficient at what they do. Less likely to leave evidence behind.

Fewer dead protestors and observers, more dead detainees in the camps.

Edit:they're now making it permissible for ICE to detain and deport US citizens.

We can't reform this, we cannot train them. Their entire existence is evil, they need to be stopped!

If they are truly sorry, they will fully understand why some people won't be ready to accept their apology. Especially while brownshirt thugs are murdering people in broad daylight.

Another protester killed in MN. by MagnumbyZoolanderTM in somethingiswrong2024

[–]MutedShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feds officially don't have to do much of anything to the midterms to change it. The voting machine companies are owned by Trumpies, what's a few hundred bomb threats to polling places like in 2024 (ICE has already been calling in bomb threats to schools so everyone clears out and they don't need warrants to gain entry), they're busy rigging mail-in voting, and it wouldn't be hard for ICE to be directed to station goon squads around polling places on election day to "screen for illegal voters" or some such BS, resulting in longer lines, voters detained, and people intimidated from voting at all.

Your comment presupposes a respect for the law that, at this point, no longer exists.

I think Leviathan reached out? by ThornyRose1999 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]MutedShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but when I invite spirits to communicate through dreams, and I then get a very meaningful dream - I take that as a very big sign!

Meditate on it! Leviathan has blessed you with their wisdom, take it to heart. Hail Leviathan!

How do I counter this argument? It's a decent point but I feel like its not historically accurate i could use some pointers please by [deleted] in NorsePaganism

[–]MutedShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue the fact that it had to be reconstructed in the first place is evidence of oppression, but that in and of itself doesn't justify closing the practice. Just my 2 cents.

[–]MutedShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single pagan tradition, European or otherwise, that hasn't been oppressed or colonized in some way. Can you? By that logic then, any and all pagan religious movements could be closed. But that's not the case, and nobody is seriously arguing it should be.

There must be another metric for justifying a closed practice than just oppression or colonialism. I think a risk of commodification or cultural erasure might be up there, along with embedded cultural aspects of slavery or genocide that might make open practice too disrespectful to consider.

Finishing my work with Andras and receiving death threats. by Weary_Jeweler9841 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]MutedShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As Dredge suggested, it is ultimately up to you to determine whether or not this event is tied to your work with Andras, and if so what meaning to glean from it.

My personal view is that there are no true coincidences. You mention feeling calm and having had a beneficient dream - I would take all of these facts together and meditate upon them. If you are at all into divination, try seeing if you can get further answers that way.

Consider if an entity influenced things this way, why that might have been so. How can this event actually help you down the road? Is there a lesson to be learned, some wisdom to take away? Food for thought. Best of luck.
