I mean, blackmail is a pretty good reason, but also to money launder effectively you need to track the actual money, idk thats the best i can come up with

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m getting at

I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they’re doing is good.

Tbf I didn’t say anything about it being a 10% minority. But trump won with less than 50% of the popular vote which we know included voter suppression and straight doctoring votes, so I think the people who didn’t vote for him do outnumber those who did, but yes, it is definitely well over 70M people.

I’m not making excuses at all, something must be done, but what do we expect? Their cops have insane fire power and will open fire on civilians, so I guess we just have to hope some people are willing to martyr themselves and commit suicide by cop?

I hope for a revolution, but I understand why people might be afraid to stand up.

Me?

Anyone who wants to lead will get murdered

It’s not that the insane outnumber them, it’s that the military has crazy firepower and is controlled by trump loyalists, and they are willing to open fire on citizens. The sane people know that.

The only hope is infiltrating the military i guess?

Ohhh I thought you were accusing me of being a capitalist because you misinterpreted me as playing the “both sides” argument (this is why i was confused, but i do see people saying this kind of shit online).

I see it now, carry on!

Apparently a lot of people don’t mind being oppressed as long as the oppressors have decorum

Yes exactly!!

I understand the frustration around those saying the parties are the same, I really do, because in the short term, the chaos of the Trump administration would not be happening if Kamala were to get in, but I’m personally extremely frustrated by people putting the dems/kamala on a pedestal as if they were going to do anything to actually help people.

It’s an oligarchy through and through. Kamala wouldve prevented a lot of the mass deportation, but she wouldn’t have prevented the wars across the world, and she would’ve done very little to close the wealth gap between rich and poor.

The only thing that’ll cause real change is for the working class to finally realize that the billionaires are our real enemy and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.

To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they’re just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would’ve just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

Exactly

Why can’t resistance include slashing random ICE’s tires?

Destroying property, as long as it’s not somebody’s home, is not violence in my opinion. Government vehicle? Fucking go for it.

Fucked up beliefs that are rooted in fear of losing what little they have. The class war affects them as much as us, and the more people who realize it, the more well equipped for revolution they’ll be

That war has been raging for centuries

And this is why I will never stop saying: it was never a culture war; it was always a class war.

That’s because he controls the media.

The guy from the Circle Jerks just called for an army of Luigi Mangionis while on stage at Coachella, so there’s that
