Are you guys aware that the point is to show you, as a sign of camaraderie, that there are Americans who disagree with the current admin, rather than to try to get praise?

    I understand it's not as easy as a comment on The Internet but the American resistance needs to nut up and someone needs to put one between the eyes if everyone who architected or who is actively implementing Project 2025.

    At this point the American military needs to stage a military coup and take back the country.

    I don't think it will ever happen but wishful thinking.

    So many people are sitting on their hands going "Violence is never acceptable".

    I think I ate a 3 day ban on one of the communities for making a joke about guillotining billionaires. Bunch of bootlicking cowards. I get not wanting to go and do some murder on your own, but come on.

    Because, and I'll be blunt, a blanket of "guillotine billionaires" is disgusting. Billionaires shouldn't exist but I have no qualms with Bill Gates or Warren Buffet for simply playing the game we were all forced to take part in.

    Some billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison however... They should all be hung for treason.

    I would give them a chance to divest before guillotining. But someone having that much money is disgusting. You know what you could do with that? You know how much was stolen from how many people to acquire that? That's disgusting.

    Look at this "wealth to scale" website https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/?v=3

    In case you lost sense of how big these numbers are.

    But at least we agree that some billionaires should be hung.

    yes we totally understand how all this must feel for you. Even for people who voted for TFG didn't want this stuff to happen. These arseholes are actively dismantling your country from the inside. We're counting on you folks to do something.

    Its really hard to have sympathy for any americans because even "the left" seems to have done everything possible to enable fascism by repeatedly throwing the working class under the bus in favour of corporations.

    You all had your chance with Bernie but you kicked him to the curb for a creature grown in a lab by credit card corporations.

    You're making the same mistake as many Americans themselves do and confusing Democrats in general and the left. I didn't think leftists were the ones who kicked Bernie to the curb. The left in America is very small but they do protest, do mutual aid, and form unions. You could argue they aren't doing enough and when things get bad enough it's time for terrorism, but that's big talk when you are sitting behind a computer.

    I have a lot of sympathy. I feel awful for them. Unfortunately, it is the kind of sympathy I would feel for an enemy soldier that I think is maybe fighting against their will. I feel bad for them but there is no way I am putting my gun down while they are around. They are still the enemy and “they” are still trying to kill me. We are not going to be friends.
