  • AerynOS and Chimera Linux, to save you a click.

    Also I haven't seen this cm0002 alt yet, gunna tag it. I have a strong dislike of what this user does (basically cross posting without linking back to the original, usually minutes after something is posted. It would be one thing if they just happened to post the same article as someone, but they frequently post the same article minutes after someone else). I guess it's not really a big deal, but it makes it difficult to block them when they have a million accounts on a bunch of different instances. This is probably a bad example since it doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else, but that makes it even more annoying in my opinion.

  • Indeed, well put. It will never be defeated by US citizens, only if the bottom line of the military industrial complex is affected.

  • They don't realize that the military that our government has used in other countries will easily be used against us, and has far greater firepower than we could ever have. I'm armed, in case shit goes down, but I will not last long against the military industrial complex in the US. Not to mention a ton of people here are disabled and have not had real healthcare in years.

    If just a group of us, or your neighborhood, for example, goes out against the government, the insurrection card will be played and everyone will be arrested, shot, and/or vaporized. It would take a fuck ton of people to rise up, and then you run into the same issue as the general strike. How do you keep people fed? We already can't do that now, so we'd need to set up the infrastructure to be able to feed everyone while we weather the storm.

  • The US government has made it so a well armed militia cannot overpower them in any shape or form. Want to tell us how to shoot down a drone at 10,000 feet before it vaporizes us? I'm all ears.

    The only way this gets fixed is through a (unlikely, by design) general strike, other countries dumping US bonds, or if by some miracle the midterms actually happen.

  • Sure, but a lot of people also don't want to get vaporized by a dot in the sky. Pretty much impossible to shoot a reaper drone down with small arms.

    The only way out is through a general strike (unlikely to happen because the billionaire class has intentionally made everyone too poor, so citizens cannot last very long without pay) or through other countries dumping US bonds.

  • I use Frigate and Reolink cameras. I have a Home Assistant install to access the cameras remotely through reverse proxy.

  • It's the Doug flag, not whatever you linked.

  • Let's just say that I wouldn't be surprised if they could find some gravy seals willing to kill citizens.

  • I agree that a general strike could do the trick, but the challenge will be getting almost everyone onboard while still allowing the working class to eat and have shelter. By design, working class Americans have little means of weathering a long term general strike, and the upper class has enough wealth to ignore it unless it's a prolonged effort. A general strike for a few days will not cut it.

    It might be "easier" for other countries to start dumping US debt. Not that it's their responsibility to "save" the US, of course. However, if enough debt was dumped, it would collapse the US economy. This is a nuclear option since it would also hurt the global economy, but would certainly hurt the US the most.

  • I don't think this will work either. If Trump pulls the insurrection card, he'll just use drone strikes to obliterate any homegrown force. Sure, US citizens are armed up. But the arms that citizens have are meaningless when it comes to things like high altitude drones.

    I think this is what people outside of the US forget when they call for 2A people to rise up. The US government has made the second amendment relatively meaningless in regards to it's original purpose. Kind of hard to fight back when you get vaporized by a dot in the sky.

    I personally think hurting the upper class in the wallet is the only way anything in the US will change. Could be done through a general strike by US citizens (although at the time being I think this is unlikely to happen, given how little money people in the working class have. they have to be able to eat and be sheltered to weather the strike, after all), or by other countries sanctioning and messing with bonds.

    Edit: if you originally meant homegrown as in US citizens. if not, carry on.

  • Those trillions will never be seen by anyone in the working class, in any shape or form, unless it's in the weapons being used against them.

  • Yep. My mother was a foster kid from a church, and it fucked her up. They don't care once the child is born.

  • Once again, you cannot prove a negative. No one is evading your question, your question is just irrelevant because of fucks that didn't vote for her because Gaza. We will never know what she would have done, and what she would have done does not matter now, because of protest voters and Trumpers (which are effectively the same thing in this case, and both are complicit in everything that has happened in the past year). If Kamala were elected, and she did this, I'd be just as fucking upset. But we will never know that she would order this kidnapping.

    I'm not stupid, and I would argue that no one here is saying democrats are "saints". I'm not sure where you're getting that idea.

  • They don't care, they just hate women.

  • GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN

    I keep seeing this - get out where? How? With what money? I can barely afford to live right now. No countries are taking in refugees from the US from what I can tell.

    I appreciate the thought, but the US capitalistic machine has trapped most of the US population, by design of course.

  • You're being downvoted because of your shitty attitude and reluctance to actually read what people are saying to you.

  • Oil, as always.

  • I'm shocked that Lee would resort to those kinds of mental gymnastics.

  • Yeah, basically giving China the green light to invade.
