That’s what I’m asking. Hope there will be a lawsuit but federal immunity is a bitch.

Have they? I’ve heard a little about a resurgence but I also was under the impression they had sort of collapsed decades ago.

An administrative “warrant” is not a real warrant. They are lying to us and everyone needs to learn the difference.

The Supreme Court did, eventually, tell him he can’t just send the military in to brutalize people whenever he wants. But they also signaled that if there was an actual insurrection they would allow it. So I think there is something to this logic.

But it still leaves the question of how to stop fascism more generally open. I am thinking an organized, mass economic disruption is the only realistic option but that will be very difficult for people who are just getting buy. Certainly we should all cut our spending to a bare minimum. If we can pool our resources to provide strike funds that would also help but it might be tough to get that much buy in.

Are there any examples of groups who actually do work in this vein? Like beyond fliers but actually building an organization that works to keep people safe.

I think a lot of the political support for policing would disappear if there was a less harmful alternative providing direct services to the community. A lot of people hate cops but don’t know what alternatives exist.

Unfortunately it’s currently legal for “law enforcement” to use facial recognition technology on anyone without any restriction or oversight. If the republic survives long enough this should be a high priority to outlaw.

I also want to emphasize how incredibly stupid or malicious the question “where were you born?” is. He is either unaware or deliberately ignoring that millions of US citizens and documented immigrants were born abroad yet have an unassailable legal right to be here.

PS: kudos to this person for standing firm on her right to refuse to ID. Fascist “Papers please” goons can get fucked.

Oh gotcha I misunderstood. Unfortunately I’m sure my parents paid while I was in utero so I may have paid indirectly before I existed.

Oh shit I’ve been waiting for this one.

Two competing toxic 1950’s mentalities.

You’ve never paid for parking? Incredibly based if true.

Oh I remember mother fuckers. I remember how you murdered us in the streets and said we deserved it.

This kind of logic shouldn’t be taken seriously. It’s in no way an accurate depiction of the path that led the author to their beliefs. Rather, they started with an irrational hatred of the Japanese and then they constructed the most logical sounding argument to support it after the fact.

However, the argument is weak because the idea itself was horribly illogical. But that won’t be a problem for anyone sufficiently motivated to believe it.

Just like all the braindead people online arguing Jonathan Ross was in fear of his life and that Renee Good was obstructing officers despite clear video evidence to the contrary. But they don’t believe she deserved to die for those reasons, they generate the reasons because they already hated her and wanted her dead.

That’s fucking wild.

Fuck yeah brother keep it up! ✊

Are you kidding? They literally murdered Renee Good for protesting.

But I mean yeah the vast majority of protesters are safe so I agree with your overall point. But the way you wrote it can’t fly right now.

He’s specifically anti-vegan? Like has he written in defense of factory farming?

Anyone get the info before it was purged from Reddit? Putting it on Lemmy might be safer from censorship.

So did they have a warrant?

Glad I’m not the only one who finds Gelderloos insufferable. I have to admit I’ve never finished one of his books because I just can’t he’s too arrogant.

Is this satire? Did you miss the whole thing where he kidnapped the president like a week ago or so?
