Oh, I'm completely on board with organizing and being prepared to defend ourselves. It's the only way forward. All it would take is a short general strike, but we need to take into account that a whole lot of American workers like what's going on, and even more just want to return to the same neoliberal consensus that got us here. Those fractures are the biggest problem to solve.

And I guess I'll watch and learn. Standing by for what I'm sure is about to be a riveting adult discussion.

I thought we were talking about violently overthrowing a government, not violent protest.

Also, violence in protests is only helpful when the common perception is that the violence was instigated by the state. That's why states use agent provocateurs to incite violence. They know it works to their advantage.

When Trump gave his little ramble at the signing, he literally blamed the losses on the country going "wokie" and renaming the war department.

And these tough-guy calls for violent revolution aren't? Please.

If we could organize, we wouldn't need a violent revolution.

I assume you are pretty confident that you'll survive the purge in-between. Too bad it won't be true for everyone, but I'm sure that's a sacrifice you are willing to make.

And Republicans wouldn't be gerrymandering Texas.

The vast majority of the time, the replacement ends up being worse. It's tricky business overthrowing a government, and the ones that end up on top are usually the most bloodthirsty and least ethical.

The planet is already working on it. Let's just help speed things along.

I dunno about soda, but washing down Oreos with Guinness is fucking amazing.

The CDC and HHS did a lot to destroy trust long before this administration. What RFK says about Big Pharma capturing government agencies has enough truth in it that it helps sell his bullshit conspiracy driven nonsense.
