Yeah I laughed when I first saw him too. I didn’t know we were supposed to dislike prop comedy at the time. I don’t hate the guy, I wish him continued success.
In the context of ICE kicking in your door you absolutely are going to be disappeared, this is how it begins. It’s cool that you’re not in any danger but don’t presume what other people are doing or the threats they face.
I tell people as of ten as I can, now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.’
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them, things are likely to get very bad over the next decade. If they don’t at least you got to know your neighbors and learned how to repair a brushless motor (for example.)
Think of it this way, you’re going to be disappeared either way, at least make them pay a price. I’d probably rather die on my front porch than rot in some black site in El Salvador.
You think shitposting and bitching online is the same as engaging with people in real life?
That certainly explains a lot.
Oh shit OP delivered guys.
It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I’ve seen video evidence that’s actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.
This is more believable than trickle down economics and really does explain a lot about him.
I’m convinced.
Post it.
Act as if is a concept in psychology. When a person “acts as” if they adopt mindsets and actions aligned with the outcomes they want, helping themselves subconsciously put thoughts into actions. It’s a very similar concept to “fake it until you make it.”
For example by acting as if we’ll have midterms and the fight isn’t over I’m more motivated to seek out peers, organize, and participate in ongoing actions. By acting as if we won’t have midterms I could safely disengage and be content doing nothing while institutions are dismantled and fascism takes root. It’s apathetic and defeatist and the only thing it accomplishes is suppressing people we all presumably agree with.
A whole bunch of us are going to be working our asses off as if there are going go to be. If you’re one of those chucklefucks who thinks “there’s no point!” then you can fuck right off right now coward. Go hide in your moms basement while the adults try to fix what other basement dwellers have wrought.
You’re probably right, I always assumed he just withdrew his head back into his shell when he was threatened; you know what they say about assuming!
Ken McElroy could beat up, rape, threaten and rob anyone in town until he couldn’t anymore.
Fuck you for making me notice Skums nipple-shadows.
Dems: “Like what? Go on tour?”
Dems: “Our job is to convince American citizens that that Israel is a cool guy!”
Cut social security and Medicare now.
It’ll suck for a lot of people. Parents will have to move in with their kids. It’ll collapse entire sectors of Healthcare, housing, even basic stuff like utilities and grocers will be decimated by the loss.
The worst thing would be for them to be able to kick the can down the road long enough that their policies have time to solidify. Once the institutional knowledge is gone for good we won’t just be able to repair the damage.
You organize and push policies you want. Push for RCV, push for candidates that’ll support what you want, show up to protest with your peers. You organize petition drives and collect signatures. Community organizing is a field all it’s own and there are a dozen ways to engage but engaging is the critical part. There are other steps to take that organization will be important for but I’m not going to start fedposting. Being organized is the only path forward.
Organizing and acting is how you accomplish goals.
That you see organizing and establishing community as “dismissal” and “prepping” speaks volumes.
We’ve made great strides locally, what used to be a “queer hiking group” is now talking about secure communications and organizing a range day soon. We’re making actual progress and forming a support network for our friends and families. But yeah I’m not doing anything and your demoralizing progressive voters online is going to accomplish a lot.
Edit: I can give you more concrete steps if you’d like. If you’re willing to give me a rough geographic location I can probably even locate existing group(s) around you that would likely be receptive to help
Organize offline, meet people in your community, shitposting online isn’t going to do anything. Reference my previous comment, organize locally with like minded people and start preparing for things to get really bad.
ORGANIZE IN REAL LIFE AND STOP NAYSAYING ANY ATTEMPTS AT PROGRESS.
Jokes on them a bunch of us have been living without Healthcare our entire lives. Suck it up, pull yourself up by your bootstraps or something. Idc empathy is a weakness.
