Citizens too. If you’re an American, you’re not safe. These people are actively threatening your lives, what are you gonna do about it? Voting won’t help you. Holding up a sign or marching on a Saturday won’t stop Nazi 2.0. Remember what it took to stop them last time and get it over with already!
Physically put my body on roads to block coal trucks from the Great Barrier Reef. Instead of peacefully holding a sign where the police gave me permission to do so, I risked my freedom and safety by body blocking trucks and giving police chase. They never caught me, but the NYPD got me for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge during the Occupy protests (along with 800 other people).
What about you, how does your snarky Lemmy comment help fight against fascism again?
How are those peaceful protests going?
People will peacefully gather and hold up signs. That’s the only consequence.
Should. But who’s gonna send them there? Same with Trump at this point, who can arrest him?
I’ll believe it when I see it, Americans too often prove otherwise.
Is that gonna be outside any oligarchs mansions? Or is it gonna be somewhere they can safely ignore us again.
Only one in three hundred million something Americans have the balls to do anything like that.
I want the secret service to uphold their sworn oath to the constitution.
Americans wouldn’t. China does.
Penguins have gone through enough already.
String him up!
This is the only appropriate response, but Americans would prefer their symbolic cinematic marches with idols giving speeches as opposed to any real solutions.
They wont tho. It’s up to Americans, but since people have to go to work to feed their kids, that’s good enough reason to give away their futures to these psychopaths. “We can’t rise up because if I get arrested my kids can’t eat” crowd will be the first anti-MAGA’s to report on other anti-MAGA’s to protect themselves from MAGA, so either Americans have to capture these oligarchs themselves or continue holding signs above some sidewalk until they’re arrested for barely attempting to make a difference. Or just admit to themselves they’d prefer fascism over a little bit of discomfort.
I guess this is still preferable to protesting outside their mansions, for some reason? You might as well start going for their homes now, because if occupying a sidewalk and peaceful protest becomes a reason to be arrested then you can’t protest anymore, right? What about your job and kids, your mortgage? They won’t have a future if you go out and get arrested at a protest, so stay safe and stay docile.
Or, you might as well go all the way. No half measures, and all that.
But Americans have their 2nd ammendment and 11 guns per person. It’s more likely they’d shoot their kids in school before turning the gun on themselves out of force of habit, before a dictatorial “solution” is implemented.
It’s really not though. The sky is blue, the earth is round, WW2 happened, and there was no so-called ‘Agricultural Revolution’ that mechanically led to urban development.

I trust your papers as much as I trust the toilet paper in a public restroom. (Which is not at all, if you didn’t catch my drift.) …
So you’re also a flat-earther, anti-vaccine, and anti-science? If you trust scientific data as little as toilet paper in a public restroom, and peer reviewed data, then you’re clearly not interested in the pursuit for truth at all. So what are you arguing if not for your fairy tales? The thing about truth is it’s uniting, they’re agreed upon facts of reality determined by evidence and data, like forensics in a murder investigation. It allows us to not only understand what is happening in the world around us, but also set aside our differences and celebrate them. The mindset that will, as you say, never get along with others is those with the mindset that is against truth - aka you.
So I’ll stop here before I somehow manage to worsen my opinion.
It doesn’t seem to take much.
Thanks for proving my point with such an “intelligent” take.
I don’t live there, and Americans should clean up their own mess for a change. Aren’t there like 11 guns per American? Remind me the reason why Americans allowed kids to be smashed to pieces by AR-15’s in their schools?
