Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Genuinely surprised no one in the US who was about to be a victim of state sanctioned kidnapping has decided death is preferable to CECOT and just started [redacted] ICE agents.
they send a fucking company of paras to arrest handfuls of people, the whole strategy is to make fighting seem hopeless
Depends on what you're hoping to achieve. Victory and survival? Very unlikely if alone. Multiple casualties, a lifetime of trauma for the rest and a reason to think twice before kicking in the next door? Achievable alone with planning and drill, I think.
i don't think most people have the energy to plot a rambo standoff with paramilitaries, who don't generally announce what they're doing in advance.
i'm not shittalking resistance, i promise, but we cannot expect people to spontaneously develop a consciousness and militancy, even in extreme conditions. that's what organizing is for
I agree with your assessment, I just wasn't sure. I've just seen a lot of people (to be fair, mostly liberals) doing that thing where they immediately take any talk of last-minute resistance as useless, a foregone waste of time, a larp, ect, and i dont think that kind of talk helps anyone. Not that I think you're engaging in it, I've just felt the need lately to push a little in the other direction in those exchanges and remind people, without slipping into rambo fantasies, what's historically possible with a little resources and dedication. But you're right, those examples are aspirational and cannot be expected from most disorganized individuals.
i support this. i just treat hexbear like a place where everyone is a jaded activist already so i'm less concerned with the public-facing shit.
some hexbeariens are new though, so your approach is still instructive and valuable
then don't def3nd against the en3my, 0ffend against the en3my. be proactive
make yourself un-an0unc3d!
Ok go ahead
you're asking for more
and i don't think they're all that common
cheers
Ice*, ICE, Baby

I did it first but feel free to save it, it's all yours. Thanks Lori
most people are too nice and innocent for their own good.
