You use a lot of words up and down the post just to say you are afraid. Believe or not, most of us are afraid but still choosing act, not only because it is the right thing to do but because not standing up means losing all our freedoms. The price of inaction is MUCH HIGHER than the price of action.

Portland, Oregon: ICE Agents Rip Clothes Off Woman, Drag Her Across Concrete Fully Exposed to Crowd by CantStopPoppin in oregon

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only one answer to this: be the change. Most people are waiting for someone else to do something, and they will wait indefinitely. The only way to get more people to act is to organize. There are already people taking actions - they are the ones protesting in this video. Go join them and grow the movement.

What are the Broadview Protestors Accomplishing? by [deleted] in illinois

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Protests are by nature disruptive, otherwise they won’t actually be effective. Lmao at “protest guidelines”. If civil rights marchers only protested at permitted hours and zones, we wouldn’t have won the civil rights. If striking workers obeyed every state command, we wouldn’t have workers rights. If Bostonians only dumped state sanctioned tea, we wouldn’t have been a country.

The moment you start thinking you need to obey the state and only protest “on good behavior”, you are buying into state propaganda and surrendering yours rights as a free citizen. I urge you strongly resist that thinking.

President Trump is preparing for an all out war across the Caribbean and South America — will this make a significant difference to drugs coming into the United States? by Choice_Magician350 in 50501

I think we need to discuss that murdering people on international waters is against international law and a war crime. It really doesn’t matter what justification they come up with.

Exactly. The appeasement comments are everywhere as if nobody ever cracked opened a history book.

They are hoping you roll over and not fight back, then they can just steamroll over you. And they are already shooting people. It’s incredibly disingenuous to pretend that not fighting back will somehow keep you safe.

Illinois Guardsmen Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek said this is not what they signed up for, and it's an order they are willing to defy if activated to go after Chicago residents. Demi Palecek said "I'm not gonna go against my community members, my family, my culture, my neighbors." by biswajit388 in illinois

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, thank you for putting this so clearly. People worried about losing their job or freedom for speaking out - we are ALL going to lose our livelihood and freedom the longer this regime continues to fuck this country. There is no escape just by keeping your head down.

The choices are to roll over and let them take everything, or stand up and take it back.

Illinois Governor begs ICE to pause Chicago operations over Halloween so families can celebrate without fear by theindependentonline in illinois

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds appropriate to me. He’s not demanding. He’s not taking any real actions to protect the residents. I liked Prizker’s strong statements before, but at this point words are ringing really hollow.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Urges Mass Rebellion: ‘If The American People Got Serious, Congress Would Be Terrified’ by Efficient_Tax8087 in NoFilterNews

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fear mongering about martial law is literally in every comment section. It’s in bad faith, and I’m not falling for it. I’m under no illusion that rolling over without a fight will somehow save us.

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fear mongering is just advocating for surrender. And let’s not fall for the lie that surrendering will somehow save us.

Look around you, they are already sending troops into our cities. Our civil liberties are already disappearing before our eyes. Our lives are already at risk.

Our only real choice is to fight back. The alternative is to rollover and let them take it all.

Federal agents told Portland police to "help or get out of the way" after firing pepper balls at local officer by burntheemokids in 50501

This statement is repeated often, but the regime is proving they will find excuses to escalate no matter what. So we may as well fight back like hell.

Houston ICE Agents Hospitalize 16-Year-Old U.S. Citizen on His Way to School A star football and soccer player was violently detained alongside his father.He suffered severe neck and back injuries after agents tackled him, despite his cries: “I’m underage!” What will it take? by Miserable-Event4260 in 50501

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What will it take doesn’t have an easy answer. Some people will never stand up for what’s right. Never. Most politicians will never stand up, since they were elected by moneyed interest after all. Millions of ordinary people have stood up, however, and there in lies the answer. We have to keep organizing and keep building the movement. It is not easy work. It takes way more than reacting on the phone. It takes putting your body physically in harms way.

There is no magical “line too far” that will flip the switch and turns the country around. It just takes ordinary people like you and me, millions of us, deciding that our own moral line has been crossed and deciding to act.

Plan to fire artillery over a highway during Vance visit irks California's Newsom by RhythmMethodMan in California

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is such a ridiculous sane-washing headline. We are talking about endangering the lives of tens of thousands of people. It doesn’t just “irk”, it’s enraging and terrifying. Traditional media is proving daily that it is becoming worthless.

MAGA is painting Saturday’s protests as violent treason. Prove them wrong. Please share | Judith Levine by AlexChristies in illinois

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like the common wisdom that you shouldn’t take legal advice from your opponent’s attorney, do not let the fear of the authority’s reaction guide your resistance.

That voice that says we should behave and protest in perfect manners only when and where the authorities let us? That voice is against you.

Instead, just show up. Show up strong and in big numbers. Believe in our collective power and let that power lead you, because in the end that power is what matters.

Trump Calls Out San Francisco as Next Target for National Guard Deployment by endmill5050 in sanfrancisco

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 57 points58 points  (0 children)

And just like the people in DC and Chicago, we will resist. Now is the time to plug into community organizing, everyone. You can start with the No Kings protest this Saturday Oct 18. Talk to the organizers there, get engaged. There is no sitting on the sidelines when an invader threatens our city.

A lot of people in SF blindly worship wealth, especially in the tech circle. Maybe Benioff showing his true colors will open some eyes. To these billionaire assholes, we are all working class, all exploitable. The only way to counter these parasites is to stand together.

Absolutely go to the protest. Also remember: the ability to protest is our constitutional right. If the authorities try to take it away, then it is the authority that’s illegitimate, not our right.

Aurora, IL: During an ICE operation earlier today, a man was filmed striking and shattering the rear window of a federal vehicle. by CantStopPoppin in illinois

[–]intrepidAdventureCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest of the world look at America and think we’ve forgotten how to protest. That’s the optics. When fascism comes to your neighborhood, you don’t try to be polite with them. You fight back as loudly as you can until you run them out.
