For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.

And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.

Not trying to add FUD, but have there ever been cases of Spotify banning people for using their paid license to run homebrew versions of Spotify?

Yep. And it is an easy one to test. Just immobilize the bike’s steering and see how well you can get it to balance.

People who drop these kinds of memes still think warfare is carried out and progresses like it did in the Napoleonic era: two orderly opposed fronts clashing head-to-head in theaters with well-defined boundaries - where the adversary with more guns/people/resources win. Because more guns/people directly equates to military power, right?

These folks would do well to spend even the slightest amount of time learning about fourth generational, guerilla war.

Let’s take this meme back a couple hundred years and cast OP as a counter revolutonary American at the onset of the revolutonary war.

/*Wants to have muskets to fend off british empire

/*british empire:

Starts to seem silly when you realize even our founding fathers were doing guerilla warfare not long ago.

Nah man, you definitely want a deal on a Lime scooter rental even though you’re 500 miles from the nearest one.

The Nazies are currently taking over and implementing Project 2025.

Nope. Docker doesn’t do that. That’s something else.

Nice, double genocide theory.

Take the high road? As in let all the Nazis fuck off to Argentina?

7/10 Nazis killed were at the hands of the red army. We have the soviets to thank for ending WWII and curbing German Nazism, plain as. They literally saved the world.

I hate to break it to yall what those nazis were doing before they were imprisoned.

people who lived under USSR really didn’t like it for the most part

So then why do some 60% of Russians regret the dissolution of the USSR? Why do 70% of Moldovans regret it? 50% of Belarusians? 66% of Armenians? 70% of Kyrgyz? 70% of Azerbaijanis?

This is why we need to teach people calculus. At the very minimum - derivatives.

Regulatory agencies have been captured, scotus is corrupt, women’s rights have been taken, the largest industries are enriching a miniscule handful of Americans, fascism is increasingly coming into style and our noble democrats have only just started a new grand strategy of… name calling?

Forget about getting people fed, using the new immunity ruling, stacking courts, or any serious material change for Americans. We are fucked.

I mean, the $200 does encourage me to create a monopoly and simultaneously extract maximum wealth from my opponents while also taking their homes. Not sure if the monopoly analogy is useful here.

UBI is capitalists’ best attempt at breathing life into capitalism. The benefits of UBI in the global north would still be at the expense of exploitation in the global south.

Wym? Am I missing something? Either should work, right? I am most familiar with it described as Fourier analysis which to me is synonymous with analysis in the frequency domain.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I am not claiming democracy led to Israeli zionism. I am claiming that liberalism did.

Make no mistake: I am not attempting to conflate democracy and capitalism. I am making the claim that the two are incompatible. If anyone is trying to conflate capitalism and democracy, it is you.

I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about how democratic Israel is, but it’s clear to anyone with a basic understanding of liberalism that Israel is indeed a country based on liberalism values.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basic_Law:_Human_Dignity_and_Liberty&diffonly=true

The values espoused in Israeli basic law are textbook liberalism:

• protection of private property
• protection of personal liberties
• freedom of movement
• Supreme rule of law
• guarantees of no violations of enshrined rights

Israel is a textbook liberal state, and its withering down to fascism has already been predicted by leftist theory. Make a venn diagram of the values espoused in Israel’s basic laws and values promoted in classic liberalism, and you have a circle.

Try to understand the article i referenced earlier, which is the crux of my argument. Liberalism enables fascism.

Funny how the points in your middle paragraph could just as easily be applied to America.

Israeli zionist fascism is the result of Liberal democracy both in Israel, America, and beyond.

If you think the issue lies in one bombastic and opportunistic president, and not our deity-like elevation of these lifetime-appointed robed clerics who are the only ones we entrust to interpret the constitution as if they have some divine patriotism, then you have been oriented by the democratic party away from what would otherwise be discontentment with the political system, and instead against the republican party which, as it just so happens, makes you fall in line with the democratic party and their fundraising strategies. The democrats desperately want you to ignore the gaping insecurities, volatility, and exploitation in our political system and instead instill a fear of Republicans.

Trump merely saw how easy it’d be to capture our judicial system that was devised by 20 year old white slavers only 4 generations ago. He correctly identified how the Supreme law of the land is all based on a flimsy interpretation of the honor system: we appoint justices for life and basically just trust them to play nice for their entire tenure without provisions to deal with judicial capture. It’s honestly a miracle we’ve gotten this far without more judges being captured.
