Texas Democrats protesting GOP redistricting in their home state were forced to evacuate a Chicago hotel early Wednesday morning following a bomb threat.
Texas Rangers could round them all up, kneel them down in the parking lot and execute them with shotguns live on Fox News, and I’d still bet money on nobody actually doing anything about it.
The average person needs to be truly desperate and not just slightly to moderately struggling for that to kick off.
No, I’m pretty sure an execution on live TV would get a response. I wouldnt just sit here and watch that happen, I know im just one person. But, if politicians start getting executed by other politicians and the state, that brings things to a whole other level. At that point, anybody who just sits there might as well call them complicit.
You, I, or any other American could have done something at a line in the sand that was crossed in reality (like secret police kidnapping people in broad daylight and shipping them to gulags), rather than imagining we would do something in a hypothetical line in the sand that they may cross at some point. But we didn’t, and the very few of us who did were almost completely impotent.
What exactly is the point of this comment? Are you trying to disparage me for not attacking ICE agents? Get the fuck out of here if thats your point. I know what i will do if ICE agents come knocking in my neighborhood. You dont get to sit here on your high horse and talk down to me for not starting a revolution already. This isnt 1861. You pick up a gun and start attacking the federal government, chances are you will die.
My ancestor sniped federal officials in the 1800s by just waiting for them to be between two towns. I can assure you unless it was the army you didn’t need friends, helped for sure but it wasn’t a necessity.
The problem w this is that most of us can’t and it’s by design; our respective countries are doing this in our name and we’re intentionally saddled w too much shit to care enough to make our gov’ts stop doing it.
That same saddling is going to make us not care once they start executing our own countrymen if we can’t get them to stop executing foreigners.

That’s always been the case. You need to bring friends.
It’s much different now. The balance of power has been skewed very far towards the state in ways it wasn’t before.

Executions of Gazan are live streamed on social media every day and there’s literally no response from any government that can easily stop it.
Yeah, im not a citizen of Gaza. I am not cool with that either. But I have to focus my mental energy on my own country, where I actually live…

You sat here and watched Jan 6 happen. The line has been crossed already.

Yeah, let me just tell the whole internet in a public forum what I would do…thats the smart thing to do…
What was it—nine meals away?
