We’re powerless and spread too thin geographically to do anything meaningful. Maybe we do need to get that radical, but I really hope it doesn’t ever need to get to that point.

I was replying to this. I didn't make any assumptions, I was replying directly to their claim that they're powerless, unable to do anything meaningful, and that they felt hope that they wouldn't need to get radical.

It isn't just one administration, that's what Americans don't understand. It wasn't just Trump that brought us here. This outcome (fascist US) was inevitable with the geopolitical outcome of WW2 unless the US became more socialist. You didn't, every President made the situation worse, including Obama (we prefer to call him Obomber). Wake up. You are the bad guys. You ALWAYS have been.

Compared to other countries, the United States continues to have the highest rate of overdose deaths in the world.

Europeans see your nation like a third world shithole, like Russia. Abortion is illegal, you get like no time off work, no paid sick leave, shitloads of drug deaths, and everyone is shooting people who have the least to blame. At least Luigi was going in the right direction.

Don't waste your time writing to representatives. Democracy is gone, bud, you need to start imagining that you are living under the nazi regime. Arm yourself and network with activists. Make contacts now while you still can.

Stop with the false fucking hope, wake the fuck up, and do something. God you people will be wringing your hands acting like there is nothing you can do right until the end.

JOIN A UNION. JOIN THE IWW. ORGANIZE. GET INVOLVED IN LOCAL PROTESTS AND NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK. FORM A GROUP CHAT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. BUY A GUN AND LEARN TO USE IT.

This is like saying "don't blame ICE, blame the executive branch". Soldiers follow orders. The enlisted soldiers WILL kill US citizens resisting the government if ordered to. So yeah, they are part of the problem. Same with cops.

Should work fine, I run it on Steam with proton 10! Good luck & have fun!

To the Norwegian Nobel Committee

I hereby humbly suggest that the Peace Prize for 1939 is awarded the German Chancellor and Führer Adolf Hitler, a man, who in the opinion of millions of people, is a man who more than anyone in the world has deserved this highly respected reward. Authentic documents reveal that in September 1938 world peace was in great danger; it was only a matter of hours before a new European war could break out. The man who during this dangerous time saved our part of the world from this terrible catastrophe was without no doubt the great leader of the German people. In the critical moment he voluntarily did not let weapons speak although he had the power to start a world war.

By his glowing love for peace, earlier documented in his famous book Mein Kampf – next to the Bible perhaps the best and most popular piece of literature in the world - together with his peaceful achievement – the annexation of Austria-Adolf Hitler has avoided the use of force by freeing his countrymen in Sudetenland and making his fatherland big and powerful. Probably Hitler will, if unmolested and left in peace by war mongers, pacify Europe and possibly the whole world.

Sadly there still are a great number of people who fail to see the greatness in Adolf Hitler´s struggle for peace. Based on this fact I would not have found the time right to nominate Hitler as a candidate to the Nobel Peace Prize had it not been for a number of Swedish parliamentarians who have nominated another candidate, namely the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. This nomination seems to be poorly thought. Although it is true that Chamberlain through his generous understanding of Hitler´s struggle for pacification has contributed to the saving of world peace, the last decision was Hitler´s and not Chamberlains! Hitler and no one else is first and foremost to be thanked for the peace which still prevails in the greater part of Europe; and this man is also the hope for peace in the future.

As Chamberlains obviously can claim his share of the peace making, he could possibly have a smaller part of the Peace Prize. But the most correct thing to do is not to put another name beside the name of Adolf Hitler and thereby throwing a shadow on him. Adolf Hitler is by all means the authentic God-given fighter for peace, and millions of people all over the world put their hopes in him as the Prince of Peace on earth.

Yeah, that's how the first few conversations tend to go. Then some time later, can be weeks or months later, they notice something that resonates with something you said to them, and it's the first crack in their absolute belief in their world view.

people rarely, if ever, change their views from a single interaction, but they can change, and all it takes is for us to hold back our impulses to rub their noses in the mud and the time/patience it takes for us to show them an alternative in a way that they don't immediately reject.

with trump, the epstein stuff, and affordability crisis, right wing ideology has never been more exposed and vulnerable in my entire life.

what if we abolish capitalism?
