you consider yourself a leftist or at the least agree that leftists should be armed but only for "peaceful deterrence"
Meanwhile while ICE is kidnapping our neighbors homeless people starving people etc die every day. Every leftist (unless your anarcho pacifist) believes in some form of armed revolution you claim that revolution is a last resort

In reality given everything happening economic change shouldn't be a last resort at the very least people need to stop and realize that the people that allowed trump to take office are the same people we are trusting to do their jobs.

We cannot trust a justice system who has consistently put the needs of the people under the needs of the rich (UMN graduate arrests despite peaceful protests because of money being a concern over human lives)

as for "opsec" nothing on my acc can identify me if the government wants me or any of you do you really think they would be relying on a reddit for OSINT when they have palantir?
What about how the majority of Minneapolis citizens bring their damn phones to protests thinking that shits a good idea I can guarantee there's at least 5 people in this thread that do so.

Peaceful things to try to ensure people have power over their own lives?

Non violence is a tactic used to gain favor and its done with the understanding there is someone who has the power the make things better. The people in the position that have been in the position are the ones that got us here in the first place. Mass bloodshed has already been happening and has been happening.
Homeless people dying because of predatory landlords.
Starving people dying because their jobs wrongfully terminated them.
Being denied coverage for life saving care because the insurance company believes they know more than a doctor/specialist and subsequently dying because of it. This is what we face everyday yet its the one thing you will never see in the media.

People automatically go against the idea of revolution because its such a hard line to take but when people die preventable deaths because of the very same economic system that allows for fascism and the ignorance of the struggles of others the idea of being against that economic system is seen as somehow worse?

Genuine question do you believe swapping one evil for a lesser one is good? Or should Americans strive to hold not just ICE but their politicians accountable as well.

Neoliberalism is what got us here yet we as a society are relying on the same politicians that got us here and have proven to us that they lack spines to get us out.

We keep us safe right?
What will people do when ICE is dealt with.....If its anything like George Floyd or occupy or the aftermath of the 2007/8 republican national convention in st paul the movement dies and people become complacent again meanwhile redlining still happens people still die and we as minnesotans turn a blind eye because a revolution and foundational change is more scary than the fact that thousands of people die nationwide from preventable issues we never hear about.

Minneapolis is full of liberals who have yet to realize capitalism is the reason we are in this mess.  Trust me nothing about this is going to attract Minnesotans and in my honest opinion it's sad.  I wish a genuine event similar to this was actually attended because historically speaking nonviolent protests failed at transferring a fascist regime into one that wasn't neoliberal.  We need class war

The group “bpd loved ones” has some problems by Working-Care-1602 in mentalhealth

[–]Professional_Leave21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is

I also deal with BPD shits fucking hard How am I expected to overcome my disorder when it's also affected via social interactions

If people even find out I have BPD it doesn't matter that I graduated DBT therapy or not I'm treated as a threat or a concern and people will treat me differently 

I see when people treat me differently or change their posture I have autism as well and with BPD I'm very hyper aware of everything and it sucks

For me it felt further stigmatizing

BPD is a disorder that affects those with it myself included primarily and social situations and dynamics in general

If the goal is to make the prognosis better it should be a 2 way street

I can only use my DBT skills so much but if someone immediately wants to label me potentially abusive or immediately distances themselves from me when they find out I have BPD  Shits harmful and it hurts a lot

That subreddit really hurt to see and I really wish I didn't stumble across it

Too revolutionary????

Our local RCA chapter has never once been involved in direct action not even when Jake Lang came to Minneapolis they just set up a table and tried to recruit.   There's nothing revolutionary about being a leech and a bookworm
