Holy fuck. Some finally have the balls to stand up and fight and a bunch of you are all...this is wrong. Escalation and violence is not ok...or...but they have so many big guns.
Your country is run by a fucking dictator. Your own people are being forcefully removed from their homes and families and put in concentration camps.
Unbelievable.
Martial law incoming.
So glad I never joined the National Guard cause I would definitly refuse to go, and if forced, join the side of of the ones fighting ICE.
"Quick! The Gestapo is running into resistance, send in the SS!"
Threaten the 4th largest economy in the world with leverage you don't really have. Encourage escalation tactics for illegal detainment of peoples under the jurisdiction and protection of the Constitution. Ignore the Constitution and normalize the absurd use of the term deportation. Cry about it on social media and then throw a fit and send troops to peaceful protests ( as per LAPD ).
Frail ideology.
Well, we always knew #RATM were right, but no one expected yet another playbook decades after this album was released in 1999. It all feels that unreal... 😔
"I liked them before they got all political" -- Some Republican dumbass.
I can only assume they thought Bulls on Parade was about a family holiday to the beach.
The video for "Freedom" was the first time many in Gen X learned about AIM and Leonard Peltier.
RATM is half the reason for my political awareness and absolutely why I know about AIM (and that Val Kilmer movie but RATM is why I actually looked into it).
“…The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.*

So beautifully written. Andor is the best tv of the decade.
If this turns into an American Tiananmen Square, you're going to end up knocking a star off that flag.
On July 4, 2025, where nothing happened in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C.
This is what 2A is for. This is what Madison feared.
That is exactly how we embolden fascism. Madison advocated for a well-regulated militia, not 1-2% of the population throwing cinder blocks and M80s. We needed numbers before allowing them to bait us into escalation.
Hegseth has the Marines standing by, and the Insurrection Act will be next. This is Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

Edit: Please share this.
They don't need any actual justifications to "embolden" them, in the absence of actual resistance they'll just lie to justify doing exactly what they were always planning in doing, this is not s good reason to passively accept anything they're doing
