Reminder not to speak Spanish in public.

They grabbed a tourist off the street and detained her for eight hours while her daughter was left to fend for herself on the streets. NYC y’all better be starting some shit

    Nothing short of violent revolution will change anything in the states at this point. The courts are powerless, and the entire political system is rotten to the core.

      Nope. The rulings coming out of the Federal courts (more often than not from Trump appointed judges) are unambiguous and the executive branch is largely complying with them once a ruling is handed down.

      They are playing a game of legal brinkmanship in order to to try and circumvent the law (the whole dismiss-and-arrest thing happening at immigration courts - which are NOT full courthouses, btw), but don’t think for one second the Judges and attorneys working on these cases aren’t fully aware of what’s going on.

        I’m stocking up on guns and ammo at the moment. I’m trying to build an armory and pantry of like 6-12 months of living and Nazi killing.

          Why tf are you encouraging a violent revolution if you don’t even live here? Where are you from?

            Never you mind, sunshine.

            And the reason the US public is treated so badly by their government is almost any other country would have strung their politicians up by now.

                  Does it bother you that people question your motives and the veracity of your criticisms when you try to hide yourself from like inspection?

                  Your country is also very likely a devolving shithole with a sordid past.

                Doesn’t matter, they’re right and you’re just mad that you can’t easily deflect to whatever may or may not be going wrong in their home country

              Nah. Half of Europe is just 5-10 years behind the USA, as usual on pretty much any dystopian development.

            OP is 100% justified in calling for a violent revolution from outside. Let me tell you something most Americans don’t seem to know. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING the US government is doing right now to its own citizens is still not as bad as USA foreign policy. And people outside the US don’t even get a pretend vote.

            Everyone on this planet should be calling for the total upheaval of not just the USA, but every nation state. Their very existence is the stupidest most destructive thing humanity could have ever done, leading into modern day capitalism.

            So yeah, as usual, burgerbrains can’t comprehend anything outside of USA.

                If you’re too cowardly to do what needs doing you can just shut up and get out of the way, actively advocating against the only reasonable response is unfathomably pathetic

        Idk if you’re genuinely stupid or just trying to get people hurt, but fyi speaking openly about violently resisting an oppressive government on unsecure channels is a bad idea for what I would have thought would be obvious reasons. Also seems like you’re sarcastically implying that we’re not at a point where violent resistance is a reasonable response, in case you haven’t bothered watching the news recently a whole lot of people in LA would disagree with that, and there’s a shitload of video

          They were mostly peaceful. And when I say most, I mean like 99%. They know how to do it.

          Also, this is what most of you are doing in this thread at me.

          Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).

          The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

          (All of the stuff above is basically the “standard” for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you’re above a certain size.)
