Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh. Yeah. Someone should probably tell them that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don't care about civilian casualties. In fact, they might even be more likely to attack those targets, knowing civilians will be there.

The US isn't the only audience for this defiant display.

But the pedo is the one who will bomb them, and its clear he doesn't give a fuck.

These people have balls. I wouldn't be there. I think it'll give him more reason to bomb them. Fuck this sucks.

US citizens need to show this kind of boldness come the May 1st general strike by continuing it for more than one day.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also, what moron specifies an end date to a strike? That's defeating the entire purpose of striking.

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Step one is to get organized. Some morons know this.

[–] FederatedFreedom1981@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

Given the previous demonstrations, albeit too far and few in between, the numbers participating have increased each time.

I personally am cynical with the current show so far, but I remain hopeful that critical mass will be achieved. Agent Orangutan must be stopped.

You should be doing that before announcing a strike, not after.

[–] RidcullyTheBrown@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Who is "you"? How can the general public get organized?

you mean the 3 day weekend everyone is planning on taking? really hard to get enthusiastic about this when most engagement is lazy, but like i get why they are trying to make it as easy as possible to claim people are striking.

The point isn't what Trump thinks. Many people are not going to be there either. Some will be though.

Remind me of the consequences when they killed 160+ schoolgirls on the first day of their attack?

Spain and Italy withdrew access to their military bases

Among other things: the global perception of the US sunk to unprecedented lows, below even China. The US's most steadfast allies have all rejected requests for support. This is a different world now and it's uncertain whether the US can regain its prior standing.

It won’t for a few generations, and that’s only if we at least attempt to bring the architects to justice and go after MAGA and its supporters like the Nazis they are. If we fail to hold the common people who approve of and endorse this it’ll just be Reconciliation 2.0, they’ll stew in their hate and plan for their next overthrow.

It is refreshing to hear that there are some Americans who understand that.

International relations with the US don't automatically become awesome after Trump is out of power (regardless how that exit happens).

You guys need to fix the stuff he broke, punish his co-conspirators and fix the systems that allowed someone like Trump gain the power to do what he has done.

That is going to take longer than a single reasonable president's term.

The rest of the world needs to be able to trust that the USA won't go down this road again.

That's a strange thing to call an illegal atrocity. War crimes don't cancel each other out, you know.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Israel is the bigger concern
