If someone entered the sanctity of my home without first presenting an Article III warrant, they'd get a bullet in their skull

They mounted a tripod gun on the roof of the broadview facility. I challenge anyone to think about "shithole" areas of the world and not envision unmarked paramilitary wearing masks, body armor, and carrying something like an ar15.

I hate the fact that the international community is just sitting by because it's an internal affair and only speaking up about trade issues, etc... That's what gave Nazi Germany carte blanche to do it's thing leading up to 39.

Every sane country on earth needs to be embargoing the fuck out of the U.S., not just for their own sake, but for the sake of forcing the American political establishment to deal with their own fascist problem or become a paraiah on the world stage.

If only the days of invading a fully militarized country were still on the table. You can't look at this like it's 1939. With nukes now being a thing no one wants to get involved because it will end in total destruction. America is over, a failed experiment in self governance. In all honesty USA should be broken up into 50 SEPERATE countries. There needs to be a plan in place for this to come to fruition, or its over for you guys. All of you seem to actively hate everyone else in your country.

1800 people have already been "lost track of" (read: murdered until proven otherwise) in the Everglades concentration camp.

That's because they're not willing to piss off Trump. He's unstable, belligerent, and hostile - all while commanding the world's largest military and that stupid tariff hammer. It's easier for them to look the other way the same as with the Gaza genocide. They might retroactively call it out when it no longer threatens backlash for them to do it.

Yeah but the problem is he didn't achieve power by some manipulation of the vote at least not primarily he achieved it by getting a bunch of Americans to vote for him. A bunch of stupid ignorant Americans wearing silly hats voted for him.

Shy of any evidence to say otherwise he is the democratically elected leader of the United States. All the countries can't be setting the precedent that if they don't like a particular leader they will assist in their downfall.

Besides if Europe playes it's cards right it's about to become the economic superpower of the world. The current economic superpower appears to be continuously blowing their own feet off and giggling.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. That's very true. I hadn't thought about it that way. Thanks for giving me something to think about.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

Hitler was votes in. So was Mussolini. Kind of.

[–] AsyncTheYeen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Does USA needs a bit of democracy?

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Fuck off. We've been watching this for months. Do something about it already.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

I keep seeing this. What is there to do?

Commit suicide by ~~cop~~ capital defense force? Because that's basically what "doing something" entails.

Any positions that could "do something" are on the Fascist's side, including the for profit news media. We are just as trapped in this capitalist web of coercion as we were before it went full fascist.

Why do you think filthy socialists and commies like myself were telling anyone who would listen, including getting laughed off of occupy Wall Street by the people we were trying to save, I was there, that the capital markets were our doom and our end? Because they were, and here we are.

I'm just glad their dream of this malice continuing in perpetuity truly is just a malignant dream. Climate change has something for this greedy, sociopathic civilization's ass, and the fact that we're turning our habitat against the species effectively permanently can't be bribed, black bagged, discredited, dissappeared, reframed, or any of the other dirty tricks the capitalist fascists have used to get their way and steamroll the innocent.

Bring the economy to a halt via general strike and street marches that disrupt traffic. Nothing short of that will get anyone's attention.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

The US, it bears repeating captured by our capital markets, keeps most Americans on a paycheck to paycheck knives edge for that very reason. The ones most inclined to strike are the ones that have the most to lose by striking.

You're asking tens of millions of people to lose the roof over their heads for a very uncertain outcome.

The sad reality is that the capitalist bastards have their bases covered. Not surprising considering their effectively limiltess capital and the generational grudge the wealth class has over the formation of unions here to begin with.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

And you're asking for death camps and fascism.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I mean, in my perfect world the people would unite and burn the capital markets that have brought us to this place to cinder, and have a people's tribunal bring justice to the former largest stakeholders.

That could begin to right this ship, and really nothing short of that.

But I know they'd use their media to get us burning down each other's homes looong before we get to Wall Street, so I know we're irrevocably cooked. What do you propose that could conceivably circumvent all the soft and hard protections they've put in place?

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Start our own police force?

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

I mean, that's just forming a gang, which I consider American police to simply be the largest and most well resourced of, a state sanctioned gang of gleefully violent thugs, unlike police in the developed world.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Police force, gang, militia...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

The thing is people don't like to hear it but history has the answer. The only thing that stopped the Nazis was violence. If Hitler's assassination attempt in the early 1940s had been successful history would never have even recorded his name.

And violence, starts at home. The international community won't help and couldn't help even if they wanted to. That will come in time, but Americans have to take responsibility for starting it.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

If you won't stand up for yourself, how do you expect anyone else to stand up for you. Seems pretty simple.

Yeah inside how angry the people actually dealing with it are, fucking idiot

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

So angry that they're willing to sit there and watch television while telling the world they can't possibly do anything.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

They will continue to escalate, also. They need a reason to halt the midterms. If they succeed at raids without opposition they get rid of a lot of people they already don't like, and if we fight back, tRump enacts ~~Marshall~~ Martial Law. We were fucked as soon as SCOUTS said presidents were above the law...

[–] PKscope@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

*Martial

Sorry, it's important.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I half did it in jest and half because I'm just a lowly registry hive!

So it's witnessed by dozens and filmed by none?
