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

      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.

      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.

        drones open up a whole host of opportunity on this front, far as being a power equalizer…just saying

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

          there is one that worked effective , the railroad strikes, i believe that is enough to paralyze the gop/D congress to make the freakout. but they are currently satiated now, so unlike to want to strike now.

          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.

              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?

          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.

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