@Cheryl707@allenanalysis here's video of them pulling the gun out of his holster on his back, then executing him. The ice agent draws after the gun is removed. Another one claps as they mag dump into his limp body. It was concealed and he didn't reach for it by the time they kicked him over and beat him.
@leftypol_org pencils are like one of the dumbest fucking examples
if i wanted to steelman this stupid fucking take, id use something that
- serves a critical function
- has no real alternative
- can not be made at home with no specialty tools or materials
@leftypol_org what's getting me is the way these people are completely missing the point anyway lmao
it's so stupid and dogmatic on every level
like, we don't actually need the pencils at all, and so on
it's like they literally can't imagine a world before or after the current paradigm
hey americans: this is what protest looks like
the folks in Minneapolis get it
if you protest against the state and the state doesn't push back, then you aren't really protesting
you have to be willing to risk something, for something greater than yourself. freedom isn't free.
Several thousand anti-capitalist and anti-fascist protesters took to the streets in Milan against the Olympics. Clashes erupted with police as demonstrators condemned the presence of the Israeli and US teams — and Trump’s fascistic ICE being brought in alongside them.
@PicardyThurd@redstreamnet What is fascism to you people? Do you think fascism doesn't have any bureaucrats? It doesn't have guys like you turning the gears? Not everyone is a jackboot. Fascism isn't just violence, even though it's violent, and requires violence to function.
@thisisanasylum@redstreamnet You genuinely do not understand what fascism is. This isn't a turn of phrase, or an insult. You don't know what fascism is, how it functions, why it exists, or what it looks like.
This is like saying "the abolitionists were the real racists because they attacked white people".

@jfcarpio@leftypol_org basic ideas like "manufacturing predates capitalism", or "capitalists and workers have conflicting interests and are subject to market pressures, creating an unstable environment and consolidating wealth and power into the hands of a few oligarchs"?
How about "look outside?"
@CTaynov@leftypol_org "you see, without a CEO, everyone suddenly forgets how to make anything."
"no one would deliver the medicine if they weren't paid little digital coins to do it! how else are they going to pay for their medicine??"
"all the machines turn off if they detect they aren't private"
@Wizardgames15@doxa_ty@steelineYT@leftypol_org do you not understand that two opposing forces can exist at once?
that two parties with opposing interests can be constituent components of a single system?
that small accumulating quantitative changes can lead to qualitative ones??
that change can be the result of conflict?
@TiradeYT@Asa_Scion@atilolzz@leftypol_org Would you like to know how to make a pencil?
I will make one right now and draw a diagram for you if you learn better from pictures.
@TiradeYT@Asa_Scion@atilolzz@leftypol_org have you considered that you don't actually need all of those materials for a pencil?
have you considered you don't need those materials at scale to use them?
or that we don't need that scale to have them?
or that we don't need this structure for that scale?
@rigobear72 @LePapillonBlu2 You're right. This country is ruled by racist authoritarian oligarchs & bloodless corporate corporatist ghouls, whose disgusting, brutal, exploitative, totalitarian system is driving the species to extinction for fucking dollars.
Let's make america great for the first time. f🧊
@LePapillonBlu2 hey pssst, guys, this is what's known as
"solidarity", "utilizing your privilege", and "putting yourself at risk for others" and all three are required for any meaningful change
solidarity isn't free
if standing up is free, you aren't
don't wait.
organize.
mobilize.
act.
