Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Okay, I'll go fight back with my fuckin NOTHING. I have some kitchen knives, maybe I can do something with that. I have a car that needs to be repaired every 2 weeks, let me go ride that into battle. "The excuses are vile" dawg youre fucking vile thinking I have anything to FIGHT WITH OTHER THAN MY BODY. I AM NOT BULLET PROOF. but yeah I'll go get myself KILLED so when the magats get to your house you can die faster too. Instead of fighting us in courtrooms and in protests they won't have to fight us at all because we gave them a reason to kill us.
Unreal. So you're organizing everyone you know to stop going to work right? Supporting one another. Making sure a general strike is successful. Even a minority can close down an economy by refusing to work. Know what you need for that? Maybe a pen and some paper. Some phone numbers. To go out in the street every day. Meet your neighbors. Talk to them face to face. Find like minded individuals. You know fighting.
Know what I'll be literally fighting with in Canada? My feet. Extensive emergency Medical skills. Maybe some cocktails And a 303 my grandfather shot Nazis with. I'm still gonna go up against tanks and weapons I don't even understand because it matters and the world will see and perhaps because I am standing up for myself someone else will stand up with me.
Somehow I doubt it you're doing any of that though. There's an excuse for that as well. But you'd rather yell at me on the internet about your mighty military and how they're going to slaughter you. Defeatist indeed. No wonder your country is so fucked.
Nice goalpost shift there, going from LITERAL COMBAT back to protesting and striking, something I already participate in and support, as said in my first reply.
Nice try.
Indeed. Let's return.
See any of those news reports with Ukrainian families filling glass bottles with gasoline and styrofoam? Kids, moms, dads, Babas. Everyone. Hmmmmmmm. I believe they probably had nothing else. Yet there they are. Still fighting.
Brown people in deserts using old cell phones and a bit of explosives found at many construction sites and farms destroyed your military. Killed thousands with minimal losses. The Vietnamese did it with shit smeared on sticks in the jungle and hand dug tunnel systems. Your news broadcast it broadly. I see it here in Canada.
Probably not. Too busy being a slave and ignoring the world.
And so where is your strike? Where are the organized not on sunny Saturdays? You've had months. Your peaceful Saturday protests are very effective fighting fascism.
