In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    We’re not voting again. There won’t be another election. There hasn’t been free and fair elections since 2000 but most have their heads in the sand about electoral theft.

    I’m done protesting. I’ve been protesting since the Iraq war. The people organizing protests are lame, want the protest to be peaceful and not annoy anyone. Fuck that. They’re such fucking losers. Completely brainwashed since birth that non-violence is the answer. The government is violent towards us every goddamn day and holds a monopoly on violence. There was a protest by me with a set time of a few hours and then everyone goes home. Total fucking losers. About as useful as making a social media post.

    Give me a gun and some coordinates on where the capitalists are hiding and I’ll shoot. That’s the only way forward now. More Luigi.

      Your actions are indistinguishable from someone trying to suppress progressive action. You call for something no one is going to do (take up arms) and make moronic absolutist statements to drive rancor within progressive action.

      You don’t need someone to give you coordinates or get you a gun. You could do that yourself. If you’re serious, just go do it, and mention Lemmy so we all get to say we interacted with the guy online. You don’t need our help or approval if you think that’s the next step. But you’re not going to do anything, just bitch about everyone else doing things you say are pointless. You’re just here to talk a big game and criticize everyone else to kill any sort of organizing or solidarity.

        Protesting does not work. if it did we wouldn’t be in this fucking position.

        You know what the right does? They show up fucking armed.

          If you’re going to be a martyr, that’s a huge commitment. Right now, folks like you and I are just toeing the line and hoping someone else makes the decision for us. But if you’re going to toe that line and you’re not already armed, you’re just volunteering to be slaughtered. Get armed, train, and be ready for when your rights are violated.

      You’re so smart but you don’t know where they are? Looks like another Internet Tough Guy.

          Uhh, you could just post up within 5 miles of Wall Street and see about 15,000 of them on an average day. Is the US short of capitalists? Are you really not acting only because you have no targets?

          Although, I guess your original message DID say “Give me a gun…”. So it seems like your only asset is some vague ambition to do something, but you seem to lack the equipment and motivation. Keep it up with your tough guy internet posts though, it’s really making an impact.

            Shooting some mid level finance manager isn’t gonna do shit but make things worse. I want a billionaire technofascist.

              Well, maybe you’ll get lucky and one will walk by your bedroom door.
