So the police aren’t completely militarized yet, like here.

    Him, his family, everyone who donated over 10k in the last election to Republicans, anyone who donated to his ballroom fund and anyone he appointed to any government position need to be executed outright.

    All this bullshit about reforming/expanding the supreme Court is entirely unnecessary. Nothing that Trump has done is legitimate. Just retcon all of his actions since 2016. His SC judges? Yeah they're gone, straight to a military tribunal. The next president will get to nominate at least 3 new SC judges, and every case since a Trump nominee hit the court will need to be re-done. Same with his cereal judge nominations. Fox News will lose it's broadcast license along with other foreign owned media companies that have conspired to subvert our democracy.

    If there's any pushback, open the net. People that donated 5k or more, federal prison. All Republicans house/Senate members? Fucking dead.

    If they bitch, open it up more, their kids will have all assets seized, etc.

    Our police have low end military equipment, that's about it. Being militarized means not having fat lazy 40-60 year olds on the force, and America sure as shit ain't there yet.

    Our police love the optics of having military gear, but quite frankly they aren't trained and versed on military tactics, discipline, or a number of other things that would make them effective. That's why when there's a real problem like a school shooting or hostage situation they just stand around sucking each other off while wearing body army and holding $1500 AR's. They're just security theater. They care about getting easy overtime. They want to go home at the end of the day. They don't want to die violently. They are paper tigers.

    The best part is that when one dies or quits, they have to hire a replacement. It would be fairly easy to create a scenario where a PD NEEDS to hire new officers ASAP, then you flood then with Manchurian applicants. Get your man inside, then you're golden.

    This doesn't seem very safe. I hope they're protesting for something good this time, and not against environmental protections like last time.

    Oh fuck off. They were protesting environmental legislation that hurt regular working class people that contribute less than 1% to global warming. While the same government fucks were giving tax breaks to corporations and billionaires that contribute 99%. "THIS DOESN'T SEEM SAFE" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜€ Are you an American? I wouldn't be surprised you pro-pedophiles would be put off by revolutionary action.

    Huh? I was being funny with the "safe" comment. Also, they weren't protesting tax breaks for billionaires, we're they? They were protesting environmental legislation.

    I do sympathize with this moment, however.

    They were protesting environmental legislation targeting the working class. It wasn't targeting the true polluters and it sure as hell wasn't going to curb climate change. The government tried to use the excuse of climate change as a way to tax the working class more. Let's be clear the neoliberal French government would never pass true environmental legislation because it would threaten business and elite interests!

    Rising and unaffordable cost of living, education and underfunding thereof, amongst other things.

    From what I heard, it’s multiple things coalescing into a singular movement at this point

    The French are fucking legit. We need that energy in the US. I mean, it's much easier to organize and meet in city centers in France than in the US, but if you can get 2000 dedicated and coordinated people to split into groups of around 500 and cause chaos simultaneously in any large city you'll overwhelm the local police, national guard, whoever they decide to call in. Plus a group of organized patriots could easily disperse and blend back into the crowd if needed, then re-convene, regroup, and hit them where they ain't. I mean FFS there's a national guard armory a few miles from me with hummers, apc's, a few tanks, and all sorts of sweet military gear. At any given time there's probably 30 people or less on site guarding things, and they don't really wanna die. There's a single chain link fence with some cantina wire keeping people out. A car or a pair of bolt cutters will take care of that. You show up with a few hundred armed civilians, smoke the hell out of the place, cut power lines to the armory, and let them know they can either hand over the keys, disarm, and leave, or they'll be burned down with the building they're in.

    Most military vehicles don't even have keys. If you get thru the fence and can open the door/hatch, it's yours.
