  • Man, you are just absolutely speedrunning a greatest hits of the worst takes on every subject you can think of, aren't you?

    It would be impressive if it wasn't performative and pretty sad.

  • Oh my god.

    You're absolutely right. I don't know why I've never seen it before. Steven Miller is Caillou.

  • By not acknowledging this gives them a well if I'm not human why should I try to be humane mentality.

    You certainly seem to be connecting my opinion of them to their later inhumane mentality.

  • Are you seriously trying to say that by not acknowledging fascists humanity, it's MY FAULT if they then act inhumanely?

    Those are some convoluted hoops to jump through just to do some victim blaming.

    If you side with fascists, and utterly forsake common moral decency, you are no longer worthy of having your humanity considered when society comes for you. Sorry, shouldn't have voluntarily placed yourself in opposition to all moral and ethical standards.

  • The way Doug LaMalfa is remembered by the country at large was in no one's hands except Doug LaMalfa's.

    If you don't want people to celebrate when you die, you should probably try not being utterly morally bankrupt and siding with a fascist autocracy.

  • Have you ever been shelled? Or fired upon by a member of an enemy army who's trying his level best to kill you?

    I have. It's not an experience I'm anxious to repeat. I think you're drastically under-estimating the average person's aversion to physical violence and the lengths the vast majority of people will go through to avoid ever being in proximity to it.

    Successful rebellions start with demonstrations and build. The escalation of protest and response is necessary to build the kind of commitment a sustainable campaign of violence will require. You can't just conjure a willingness to run into gunfire for people who haven't been trained to do so, and thinking that you can just jump past the slow brewing of rage you need in the general population is idealist at best and naive at worst.

  • All Ready, already???

    Jump

  • On the one hand, you're correct on all counts.

    On the other, you're the only person in this entire discussion framing things in terms of open revolt. Collective action is NOT that, and presupposing the necessity of armed conflict could needlessly get innocents killed.

    I'd much rather show up for a protest and have to deal with tear gas than show up expecting to assault the city and give them an excuse to meet us with tanks instead.

    Edit - not to mention that a wave of people stripping the country bare of supplies and equipment as they move towards the capitol is going to do absolute wonders for the public perception of any rebellion. You'll have Mr and Mrs Public screaming for it to be put down, hard.

  • Who provides shelter to a million people converging on a city?

    Do you know what winters in the US are like? How do you keep those people warm enough to continue protesting in 10° (-12°C) weather? You can't just say "people will have to figure that out for themselves", people will literally freeze to death if you do that.

    A cold winter was instrumental in defeating the Nazis in Russia, wasn't it? Everyday civilians are not trained soldiers, are not accustomed to spending long periods in freezing cold, and for the most part don't own the proper equipment that would even make such a thing possible.

    Are you going to equip them? Feed them?

    These things don't just come together overnight or without a huge amount of planning and logistics. The fact that you think it's as easy as "driving to the capitol and staying there" just goes to show how little you've actually thought about this.

    Edit - just for context, there are roughly 115,000 hotel rooms in the DC Metro Area. Even with illegal double occupancy, that's 800,000 people living on the streets, underequipped, in winter.

    I have no doubt that, in addition to the spontaneous protests on Saturday, there are many more demonstrations whose planning has been kicked into high gear by the events of this weekend.

  • Of course they are, and that will just feed the narrative / give them an excuse to put more troops on the streets / allow them to swoop in and place all such daycares "temporarily" under government control "for protection" / give added fuel to the eventual argument for martial law.
