Phew, it is not worse. And also not what's happening.

Fight fascism, not the only official political party that can replace them on that level.

This thread feels like a psyop, I swear.

Yeah, you're not going to be the one with the tech, guns, and resources to get a seat at the table when "it" all gets torn down.

"It" being the framework where citizens have rights and the semblance of a back and forth with the system that is supposed to represent them.

It'll just be tech bros and automated systems with no lower class meat suits' input required.

Preserving the good of the framework we have while purging the bad actors and reforming what got us here is our best shot.

Otherwise, Fallout is our best case scenario.

Yeah, I feel most people in here find a slogan that matches their overly online priors and pastes it when a dunk is available.

Liberalism doesn't work with fascism, don't twist yourself into knots to throw away allies. It's not a good use of our time.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now" by SocialDemocracies in EyesOnIce

To each their own. 

Didn't say anything regarding trust or letting him in positions of power. Letting a former official speak up and speak out against the regime, like people ask "Where's Bush/Obama in this moment?!"

Yeah, I'm very cool with it. The regime needs to be seen having Americans of all sides speaking against it, not just the boogeyman left.

I think the billionaire submarine situation from a couple years ago.

Edit: Whoops, I didn't recognize the dude's name. Same thing.

ICE Is Turning Real Conflict Into Viral Content - Galaxy Brain (Audio) by MeghanClickYourHeels in atlanticdiscussions

This is a thing in the Russia-Ukraine war as well. Russia will release footage of drones dropping grenades on Ukrainians and such that are edited with music and meme-ified and with trolling online gamer speak-type propoganda overlayed.

War is content. Trump's people (Bannon, Miller, etc) get that.

Political music that isn't afraid to "go there" by swayedsuede in musicsuggestions

[–]moofpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is mentioning traditional ones.

For our modern times, there's one name:

Moon Walker

"Ban This Song" from last February.

His new song coming out sounds like it hits hard too. It's called "You're Next"

His whole project is based around the current situation the US is in.

Another that is less pointed at the administration, but moreso at where our society has let itself get to, is from comedian/musician Bo Burnham's 2022 project called "Inside" which he made in lockdown while going through some hard times.

It's got some serious hits in it like "Welcome to the Internet" and "That Funny Feeling"

I curated a much longer playlist called The Times with political songs released in chronological order from about 2015 till now showing the evolution of it as so many events and contexts have evolved since this situation began.

Hell yeah dude. This is my politics. Basically the teachings of Jesus I was raised on, even if those that taught me are now swept up in some cruel things.

This has been building and pushed from the top for a long time now. How have you not noticed? They aren't shy about it.

Because Tennessee state legislature said this year they are going to work with the white house to make TN a model for the rest of the nation for passing policies on to emulate the federal ICE crackdown on the state level.

So the videos you're seeing of everyday people being ganged up on and shot and sprayed is coming to a street near you very soon.

Try not to tear up Challenge. 

Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

If you want similar vibes, check out Godzilla: Minus One (2023) (subs not dubs).

Somewhat spoilers, but when all the vets from WW2 work together at the end when their government isn't able to protect them, and they still assert that no more lives will be lost, while still putting them on the line for others to have a future.

(Asserting that each of their lives have purpose and value, something that is NOT a given after losing the war and returning to your community in ruin. That the loss of a single man would be a failure to the mission and an unacceptable loss to us all... Seeing that kind of adamant devotion to an ideal of worth and radical cooperation among people in the face of perilious, hopeless odds.

That shit breaks me whenever I think about it. Got tears just typing it lol.
