i've noticed something not so funny about when facism gets called out in the mainstream; out loudly enough to be heard. Seemingly, its usually only when it starts to inconvenience cishet ablebodied white people.
Until then it’s just sparkling authoritarianism.
-
People cant do anything. What actions will change things?
You can demonstrate until you die of old age and nothing has been accomplished.
I think the only actual change people can do is try and collect money to live somewhere else. I dont believe in talking and convincing people. I believe in direct action in your own life.
The country relies on cars for everything. If you block some roads, you can halt the whole economy.

Long lasting general strikes and boycots would be an effective tool. I realize they would be painful, or even impossible, for people to support themselves through in many cases, whuch is why things like mutual aid and strike funds need to be set up first.
If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone's entertainment and they'll get pissed real fast.

The "he was fired for talking about Charlie Kirk" narrative is a lie.
He was talking mostly about the Epstein Files.
He was fired because that was the plan when Colbert was fired. They literally said he was next.

Okay but why in that way - during the taping of a show? That doesn't seem very "planned". That seems like a desperate rush.
Over the weekend would have been smoother. Hell, just about any other way would have been smoother.
They gave Colbert another year.

another "let's set some arbitrary line down the road to avoid doing anything today"
you already live under a fascist regime you cowards... DO SOMTHING! take action NOW
Ehh naw we just need to let it reset. The house of cards will crumble as soon as Trump croaks, then once ceaser is gone Rome will burn. Hopefully what comes after is better, but it probably won't.
Personally, my family came to this foreign land, that's not ours, to seek out a better economic life and freedom. 2024 was the first election that the youngest voting generation went more conservative in the last 100 years. The beliefs of this nation no longer align with my own, so I'm returning back to Europe where my family once came in search of those very values. I realize a lot isn't great there either, but I have more trust in the EU protecting my fundamental rights than I do the US Constitution.
Failing that, at least Europe has better wine and I'll just enjoy the view while the world ends.

We deserved better. We deserved bernie. I blame hillary clintons ambition and the dnc at the time for trying to force her through. Bernie would have beaten trump the first time.
Government full of actual Nazis. Clearance Thomas fireselling Supreme Court decisions. Blame Hillary Clinton.

No. That's what Trump wants. Talk about the terrible things he is doing right now
To be fair, even fucking Margorine Tator Tot Green is pissed about him hiding the Epstein files. I think you underestimate how badly core MAGA want it released. It really could be the thing that takes all this down.

Colbert getting canned was a test. They saw they could get away with it, so now gloves are off and off Kimmel goes in one night.
Everything they do is a test to see if they can get away with something. If they do, they ratchet up to the next horrendous idea.

Someone in the administration (not Trump obviously) is smart enough to know to strike while the iron is hot. Use the Charlie Kirk killing to justify all kinds of shit that they want to do anyway while they have an angry army of supporters to shout down anyone who dares to speak up against their actions.
They were always going to declare antifa a "terrorist organization." They were always going to come after Kimmel. They were always going to put democrats on lists to be investigated. The MAGA anger over Kirk's killing just gave them the opportunity to speed up the timeline and they couldn't let it go to waste.

I don’t doubt they wanted to gauge reactions. I doubt ABC was part of that in any way.

I still say it was about THE EPSTEIN FILES and not the nazi that the other nazi shot.

Partially yes. But I'm positive that they were looking for their own Reichstag fire and found it in the Kirk killing.

They're using 'Bread and circuses' to pacify, so remove the circuses and watch the anger boil up.

Wonder if he is considering running for office now?

^ this is the epitome of the "fuck you, got mine" mentality... you seem to think you have an out so every body else can go fuck themselves... you are not even going to try to spare most of the worst of it, you are happy to let everyone suffer because you think you have an out
Good luck EU if this is what they are getting from the USA

They're doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us
