So republican congressmen were an inch away from getting the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard, state police, FBI, CIA, DIA, ATF, OICI, INR, NSA, CSS, NGA, I&A, ONSI, wallstreet and Federal Reserve from officially backing a localized riot made up of off duty cops, drunk proud boys and car dealership owners?

It's the conscious and unconscious recognition that when genocide is normalized and an entire demographic is sacrificed for the sake of political expediency, the very concept of solidarity becomes untenable as an organizing principle for society or as a personnel ideal that people can afford to maintain
People begin to feel (again unconsciously and consciously) who's next? Me and mine? Where am I on the line? Obviously this generates immense resentment, suspicion and justified paranoia
The Egyptian security state is in full overdrive and media blackout, the smallest gatherings are meet with mass deployments of police and army, thousands have been arrested
For instance a few months ago there was some pro-Palestine graffiti painted in a Cairo neighborhood, the state responded in the hour by disconnecting the entire electrical system for that part of the city and deploying hundreds of police to scour the neighborhood
Egypt is a fuckin pressure cooker right now
Woke ancaps, and 50% of the time without the "woke" either
They use "civilization" as a pejorative?
Let me guess in their fantasy conception of a post-revolution world capitalism somehow still exists but it's called the "Market" or some shit
lmao I honestly didn't realize today was Halloween
That's precisely the reason I don't see this ending well at all
Maybe, but this stuff is eventually gonna come to a head and those founders are gonna be forced to make a decision
The No Nazi Bar rule is real and has to be strictly adhered to, but lemmy has dropped the ball on it hard
I'm sure the software's fine, I was talking more about the increasing rightward shift of lemmy, it seems to be turning into a dollar store version of 4chan
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try. - Nemik's Manifesto
Comrades were definitely writing this show
This whole lemmy thing doesn't seem to be working out
Oh look another lemmy bluefash dipshit outright lying about our political orientation to win brownie points with other neoconservative dipshits
The fantasy worldbuilding they construct about us is funny in an ironic sense tho
As always their accusations are always confessions
