  • Excuse me, but why haven’t you started the (counter) violence yourself then?

    Asking such a dumb question shows your complete ignorance of activism or organization. But I don’t want you being turned off from it by a frustrated internet commenter.

    Maybe. I’m wrong. But you really sound ignorant. If you aren’t doing anything, instead of replying with another condescending comment, do something else instead. Go search for DSA, PSL, or any immigrant rights organizations in your area and go sign up for the next available meeting. Join a meetup IN PERSON some time this week or next. Find a way to help.

    If you’re not in the US. Then I don’t know why you’d even reply in the first place. So, I’m assuming you are.







  • I’m really getting tired of this “they targeted a citizen!” or “they targeted a police officer!”

    Like, I guess it supposed to try and get people on the fence to realize what’s going on. But, I don’t think it actually works. I think it actually creates a disassociation between the large numbers of innocent victims and the “special case” of victims we see in the headlines.

    It’s essentially telling normies “hey, all the shit they are doing to noncitizens is fine. But you should care about these 3-4 cases of obvious white victims that actually have enough video footage for us to cover”

    You know what normies are gonna think? Fucking nothing. We live in a country where people have normalized the mass shooting of toddlers. I don’t think the hyper-focus on “perfect victims” is waking people up. I think it’s making them feel as helpless to change anything as they did after Sandy Hook or Uvalde.

    Edit: a cop is far from a “perfect victim” but the people that respect cops see it as such.


  • In a world where there was a Nazi state trying to convince right wingers that “the Jews control everything” I don’t think most people could tell a difference between that and the Zionist in Washington and Israel.

    Like, I can because I pay attention; and understand the historical means that have lead us to this abomination and perversion of the Jewish faith being entirely associated with an apartheid ethnostate.

    But, fuck me, it’s like they are trying to confirm every Nazi stereotype of Jews.

    I’m convinced at this point that the Zionism is just a means of justifying the creation of all states being ethnostates. Which, is exactly what the Nazis wanted to begin with.

    It’s just so hard to explain the relationship of western capitalist interest that have formed the ethnostate of Israel to begin with. How they expanded it’s initial colonial project using the Holocaust as a means of justification. It takes so much effort to actually try to explain any of this to someone.

    They need to understand class struggle, Imperialism, colonialism, racism, etc.

    It is just exhausting to combat Antisemitism at this point. Israel and the US are essentially doing everything in their power to fuel it.

    The US using antisemitism to target anti Zionist as a means to destroy all decent within its fascist state. Well, that’s just fucking expected at this point.

    I hate this reality we live in.




  • Catching them in a lie will never matter. Accepting that 25-35% of this country is so awful that their only enjoyment comes from feeling powerful because of fucked up shit our country does.

    Like, these people are so far gone that they can only enjoy life through looking at other people get fucked harder than they are.

    That’s why it’s so attractive to men that never actually learned how to be masculine. Instead of showing responsibility, leadership, or bravery. They instead only see masculinity as being powerful and their only experience with power is oppression.

    Fascism thrives off of a country filled with weak men. And every single one of them is joining ICE.

    Dude is looking much more reasonable than all the American allies that don’t have nukes.

    The western world having a surprised Pikachu face when the American empire starts treating them like it does the entire global South.

    Please, please realize that the actions America is taking are (1) not because of Trump alone. He is the leader that enacts the interest of its wealthy ruling class. (2) This is not new. This has been what the US has done for decades. The only thing that is new is who its being done to.

    You (your nations leaders) all watched and “felt bad” as it enabled a genocide in Gaza. Some even condemning it while continuing to arm Israel as not to upset America. This cannot be understated. This gave America the confidence to do what it is doing now. Gaza was a testing ground.

    Now, that empire asks you to bend the knee and remove the illusion of self sovereignty.

    Korean people, Vietnamese people, Iraqi people, etc. Might want to read some of the struggles against empire from their perspective. Because that’s what is happening now. You can still think “that won’t happen to us”. Well, you might want to prepare for that.

    Because “the 65%” of normal citizen in the US don’t want any of this either but they are just as inactive as you are. Your resistance gives us in the US more power to resist as well. We need to realize that this not a fight between nations and leaders. But a fight against the people of the world. Our blind eye towards Gaza and other crimes has given the green light for it to be done to us.

    We are not fighting against nations. We are fighting against the rulers of wealth. We are sitting in the fascist imperial core being subject to SS troops going door to door. You (in the rest of the west) will see material conditions decline as your politicians are pressured by their own wealthy ruling class to give in to the empires demands. You cannot let that happen. America needs to be choked. It needs to be sanctioned and boycott and if necessary fought against. Do not let your politicians give in; and you cannot afford to continue to be inactive.
