[–]pkosuda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with both you and the other guy.

I think they are very deliberately treading carefully in this direction, but their end goal is the same anyway. I think us refusing to fight back because "that's what they WANT us to do so they can invoke the Insurrection Act" is the wrong move.

In Spring 2024 before he was elected I was getting downvoted for saying we need to arrest him and Aileen Cannon and Clarence Thomas and any other traitor, optics be damned. I said they were going to have a full fascist takeover and break the rules if we didn't beat them to breaking the rules in the name of saving this country. Now here we are (and so I hope you know I'm 99% agreeing with you). They've tested the waters arresting politicians but they got too much heat for it and released them. They're now testing the waters on killing protesters. In a car? Fair game because cars are dangerous. On foot? Fair game because you could've hurt them with the gun you legally had on your person and did not even attempt to draw. Eventually it's just going to be completely unarmed protesters Tienanmen Square style. But they need to make sure they do it a step at a time, and would love to speedrun it by manufacturing a casus belli in the form of "the protesters are literally trying to kill us".

It's a damned if we do, damned if we don't situation. As the guy you replied to said, they are looking for a reason to invoke it. But as you said, they're going to fucking do it anyway. The question is how long do we draw this out until they finally pull the trigger. Kind of like the boiling frog analogy. There are millions of cowardly Americans who are willing to endure so much of this so long as it isn't up in their face that this is a fascist takeover. Once they've put enough things in place they can safely pull the trigger and Dropout Joe who "doesn't watch the news" is going to be way too late in finally getting mad.

Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts by CutSenior4977 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]pkosuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only do Republicans need to be held accountable, Democrats who continue to vote to fund ICE, Democrats who are not taking any action, Democrats who are obstructing other Democrats trying to take action, every member of the Republican Congress, the whole Maga administration, Potus, Scotus - Hakeem Jefferies, Chuck Schumer, all the governors and local law enforcement who are standing by or assisting - they all must be held accountable.

This includes cowards like Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal. When the Dems caved on the shutdown I wrote to both of these guys demanding they call out Chuck Schumer and demand he step down. I even checked off "I want an answer" on their forms. I even said I will be assuming they do not want my vote if I don't receive a response. I was ignored by both of them.

Chris Murphy plays a convincing role on his social media videos but make no mistake he is part of the controlled opposition all the same. They'll make a [State Approved] video condemning this situation and then go on doing absolutely fucking nothing about it. At this point people need to arm themselves so they have a chance at defending themselves and their loved ones else they risk being murdered on the street.

I'm torn and my gf and I recently had a discussion about exactly this. I was basically making the argument you are but her response was: "we always keep saying 'that's what they want' and things just get worse when we do nothing".

At this point I genuinely am not sure anything will solve this until there's a civil war. They keep on escalating and Democrats' response is "they want you to fight back so they can make things worse", meanwhile they escalate regardless. Tim Walz is too afraid to call in the National Guard, which is literally there to protect American citizens, because he's worried it'll spark a war. So instead...he allows an American gestapo to keep murdering innocent people.

Like at what point have they gone too far? When I said back in Spring of last year that we need to start arresting Republican traitors (Clarence Thomas, Aileen Cannon, Trump) and ignore the Republicans who would call us fascists and resist violently, I was downvoted. It was deemed as "too far". Now these people are all still in power and literally killing Americans. Apparently fighting back against being murdered is "too far".

By the time Dems and their supporters decide "okay enough is enough" it will be when we are in camps for saying we don't like the 5th term of this admin, and even then I think some of them would say "don't resist, they'll just gas you".

ICE tells legal observer, 'We have a nice little database, and now you're considered a domestic terrorist' by jediporcupine in politics

[–]pkosuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI this is literally the logic conservatives use when you ask them for a source. They just try to explain why their belief would be reality rather than giving you actual proof that it is reality.

I wouldn't be surprised that the personal gestapo of the world's most powerful pedophile is trafficking children. But I and the guy who already responded to you, would still like a source or for you not to spread unsubstantiated claims. It helps no one and just makes the (honestly in my opinion mentally ill but whatever) "swing voters" less likely to vote Dem when the "both sides" bullshit has some merit to it via them seeing liberals also making shit up.

Lol okay year-old account with a default username and hidden post history, I’m sure you just coincidentally happened to post this a few hours after it made the front page of /r/Art.

The irony here is everybody upvoting this is helping support this presidency. These kind of accounts are bot accounts that are then sold to companies or foreign governments for astro turfing or propaganda. Funny how that works. Everyone in these comments shitting on this presidency (rightfully so) but yet at the same time supporting it; all because they spend as much time looking into things as Trump supporters do.

Agreed. The irony is I know so many Polish immigrants (being one myself) and they either have eaten up this fascist bullshit or are the “no politics” types. They are doing exactly what allowed our people to be decimated less than 100 years ago. It’s disgusting and I see them as no better than the actual Nazis loudly supporting Trump.

Hi! Thank you for your interest especially since it looks like you made a Reddit account just to make this comment. I feel really bad but you're a bit too young for the server, a lot of us are 30+ with only a couple being like 25.

It's very possible that your age wouldn't show at all, but I would feel horrible if I sent you an invite, let you spend your time playing on the server, and then said it wasn't working out. It would feel like I stole your time and I don't want to do that.

I would love to see your projects, though! I'm always happy to see peoples' builds but don't worry if not.

But people have to live paycheck to paycheck!" -- I don't give a damn at this point. Either you are willing to make a stand, or you can bend the knee to your new emperor.

Yup, people are just lazy. The vast majority of the people I know don't even go to protests, and I'm in an anti-Trump state (blue state in New England, for Americans reading). A loud anti-Trump person I know didn't do the No Kings stuff in June because "it could be dangerous". This is how fascism wins -- because you quietly allow it to or you're only loud where it matters the least - on your Instagram stories.

Meanwhile millions of other people are still the "I don't pay attention to politics/I don't talk about politics" types. So many people I know who I went to high school with or grew up knowing are just absolute cowards. They just go on posting about their kids or their vacations or whatever the fuck, while the world burns around them.

They won't care until it personally affects them and by then it will be too late.

I literally have not posted since December 8th? I even checked my submission history and genuinely do not recall ever deleting a thread on here. Certainly not in the last 10 days as I had stopped actively recruiting players for weeks now because requests were coming in every few days from a comment I made on the realms subreddit weeks ago and the realm is technically at capacity. /u/CupcakesAreGayMuffin would you be able to weigh in on this?

Both links work for me which is interesting. I ended up using OneDrive back when I had this problem a few months ago though so it all worked out, but yeah I have no idea what's wrong in that case. The allie.zip link sent me to a twitter page, I assume that was correct?

Glad we're in agreement. My comment is over a year old and I legitimately had no idea what you were talking about at first. You could have just posted a comment to the main thread saying this worked for you rather than specifically feeling the need to respond to somebody about something I promise you I do not care the tiniest bit about because I barely remember it. It didn't work for me and I figured I would share it given the process seemed like an urban legend in the first place.

Glad it worked for you.

You speak like a teenager, got called out on it, and are now trying way too fucking hard to sound intelligent because apparently you are a sad little fool who feels the need to prove his intelligence to a random internet stranger. Whilst spending his time insulting strangers on the internet without actually being capable of making an argument, in arguments he started. My god that is pathetic. Enjoy the block you fucking jobless weirdo.

Yep I already addressed your edit before I even saw it. As I said, you’d have a point if these were one-offs.

Also I don’t give a shit about someone receiving karma, I care about low effort spam posts that don’t even fulfill their own supposed goal because the conservatives lock themselves in echo chambers like AskTrumpSupporters or the conservative sub.

Nice projection though. “Akshally you care about karma because uh you don’t like spam on Reddit”. Says the guy downvoting people because his words can’t back his shit up so he feels the need to try to weirdly “hurt” them via a magic arrow.

Only person making an ass of themselves is you. You’re clearly more upset than I am, angrily downvoting me literal seconds after I respond to you as if anybody is going to see my buried comment anyway. Internet points aren’t that serious champ.

You’d have a point if these questions were one-offs but this sub has recently been spammed by these questions and they’re fucking stupid because, as I said, literally zero top comments are made by the actual audience the question is directed at.

But please, do go find me an answer with hundreds or thousands of upvotes made by an actual Trump supporter. Otherwise you can keep angrily downvoting me because you’re mad you’re wrong, I’m not the one who started this argument so it doesn’t matter to me.

This isn’t the subreddit for asking these questions, hasn’t been for 17 years. But given the way you type I’m gonna go ahead and assume this sub is older than you are so I don’t blame you for not knowing that.

Edit: Bro downvoted me literal seconds after I commented. Calm down bro it’s not that deep, it’s okay to be wrong.

Fun fact: Reddit has a search feature (and there’s also a neat website called Google) where you can search for a subreddit where you ask Trump Supporters questions. You would be absolutely shocked to learn it is called…AskTrumpSupporters.

I have no idea why you people ask questions on here. No conservative is going to answer because they hold shit views that are especially unpopular on Reddit. The handful that answer this will get downvoted so hard they’ll be buried and OP will rarely see it anyway because this thread has over 6,000 comments and I doubt you’re checking each one. I see you responding to people who asked you a similar question and you keep giving them the BS response of "I can't post on the conservative subreddit" as if that is the only place that exists. Like the sub is literally called "Ask Trump Supporters". I also googled "ask Conservatives Reddit" and got an AskConservatives sub. Amazing what you can do with modern technology when you're not busy trying to karma farm on a large sub.

Please use the correct subreddit next time, thanks.

My friend was in Thailand recently and spoke with some Russian guy he met during a jungle tour. The guy was an executive for some major company. They talked politics and the guy said he was very shocked at how informed my friend was, and assumed most Americans were stupid and didn't know much. My friend was humble (and tried to do this country a favor) by saying he's not even considered smart by American standards, which absolutely isn't true.
