That really changed things didnt it. Except no... It didnt.
We just need to keep winning debates..

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.

Well Charlie Kirk has been awfully quiet and not bussing around insurrectionists to the Capitol recently. Wonder what happened there?
-
Most of his supporters are okay with the things he's doing.
Epstein is what sickens them
Which ones? Most of them don’t care about the pedo thing either.

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.

Happens to him? He’s already been removed. His removal is just another fascist step forward. Nothing will happen to him after this. It’s the next step you need to be concerned with, and the next, and the next… eventually we’ll get to someone being executed, normal citizens being disappeared for opposing The Party in some way, full internet censorship, full control of State Media, any democrat politicians are removed, opposing republican opposition is instantly jailed without trial… a lot of steps yet to come. Guess they could skip to the end, but I don’t think we’re there yet.

No not fuck you, got mine.
Just not going to try and convince anyone before taking action in my own life. I think its a much better strategy if you actually want change.
well I am not American so my actions are not the same as yours...
In Spanish they have this saying "cada ladron juzga por su condicion"... which applies here. It basically means "a thief thinks everyone else is also thieving"... it says a lot more about you that your default assumption is that I do nothing even if I am calling for action
-
Check the date
Oh. Shit.
-
And what action would you like to take?
I want the rest of the world to commit to a defensive pact against the USA. "If either of us is attacked by the USA, we will both go to war with them". I want a pan-continental alliance. Let's get Europe, China, Russia, South America, Oceania, and the Middle East in this. Mexico and Canada can join too. And I'm not saying I agree with Hamas, but they do have a lot of experience against American military hardware, and the enemy of the USA is my friend.

The "he was fired for talking about Charlie Kirk" narrative is a lie.
He was talking mostly about the Epstein Files.
-
You decide to take action. Please roll for initiative.
rolls 1
You slip and fall on banana peel. You ran out of action points.
What a strange mix of RPG tropes. I get what you meant but that's like when you see "hacking" on tv.

Until then it’s just sparkling authoritarianism.

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.

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.

something something first they came for the communists

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.
