DarkFuture comments on The regime silently removed parts of the US Constitution like the writ of habaes corpus from the official website

Remember folks. Fascism has never, ever been put down using words.

Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train with them and form networks.

As an European, I want Americans to fight against fascism, at the same time, it sounds like it would require civil war, and if that happens, then the sharks circling around US would use that opportunity to make some moves. This whole thing makes me uneasy. Y'all need to be smart about this.

I think you’re all headed to fall in line. That’s where the evidence is pointing.

The US needs to divorce itself. Cut off the cancer and wall it off.

That boat sailed in the November 2024 election. Now it is all about prepping, planning and survival.

Dont forget to buy lots of ammo. Guns dont do much without ammo.

Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that's what they would be doing right now.

If you've got a gun you've always got at least one shot in it (throwing the gun at the target)!

Especially if it's a Hi&Point. The people's firearm.

Or use it as a melee weapon. People always seem to forget about the pistol whip.

In Francoist Spain the dictatorship collapsed with the death of Franco and while a violent few years ensued, the Spanish Transition to Democracy was (comparatively) peaceful.

Political strength and popular support were far more important than strength in violence.

Moreover, a violent revolution was never achieved without the attendant political and logistical organization. So regardless of eventual character, the method of building a movement remains the same. Unfortunately it's boring, difficult work that leaves the most active most vulnerable to reprisals. Which is why people like Fred Hampton and Harvey Milk and Berta Cáceres are all so important and also ended up with their brains splattered on their beds/office floors etc.
