Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.
Mate, the release of the ubredacted Epstein files is oretty much the only thing left with a nonzero chance of turning MAGA against Trump. They don’t care about the erosion of democracy, the illegal arrest and deportation of innocents, the economy, the USA becoming an international laughing stock, inflation, the cuts to government services, the wars, they don’t even care that he was convicted of raping adults! Uncontrovertible evidence that he likes to put his deformed micropenis inside children is the only thing that might still reach them.
why do you guys always bring up this image when the US is doing shit like this or blatantly attacking minorities, but never when it’s about trump’s fucking ballroom or whatever
Honest, genuine question: would there be any point in this descent into fascism where you’d give up on this tactic?
I suppose I can still understand it at this stage: most conflict is still abroad, only 9 months in to the presidency, and the Epstein revelations are still fresh, but how long will you push this?
Will you still be shouting about Epstein once the first protestor is killed by ICE? What about after the first civilian doors are busted down? What about after trans people are definitively criminalized? What about after the first train is loaded up? What about after the first mass grave is discovered? What about after a few tens of thousands of Americans have been exterminated?
I’m not saying everything above is going to happen, but supposing they did, would you still be shouting Epstein? Because at this point, it appears as if you, along with the rest of the Epstein crowd, will be shouting about it regardless of however far we are into the fascist descent. I dont understand that.
Releasing the Epstein files is something that people on both the left and right can mostly agree on. Even a subset of MAGA want it.
On the other hand, killing protesters is disappointingly more of a partisan concern. Traditional Republicans probably wouldn’t approve, but MAGA has been brainwashed into supporting “retaliatory” violence against anyone left of them.
Pushing the Epstein files will, therefore, be more effective when trying to get people together.
You know, I think the admin trying to make thought crime a thing actually deserves attention.
TBH, it’s starting to feel like bringing up Epstein in response to every single headline is itself becoming a distraction.
It’s become the literal definition of a meme at this point.
True blue memetics at work.
Yea we can all agree thats a serious issue but we cant just ignore ::::::gestures broadly at everything else:::::::
Stephen Miller at the White House
Mate, you’re getting distracted from the erosion of democracy by only thinking about some fucking papers that we all know implicate him already.

Be rhe change you want to see in the world.
Personally, it’s because I haven’t seen anybody post about the ballroom.

Already happened in Chicago. They kicked in the doors of an entire apartment building.
Playing Devil’s advocate here:

Fuck. Off.
