Happy to report that I, a white christian-looking man, would probably get hauled to a death camp for openly supporting LGBTQ+ and minorities, and openly criticizing the government’s behavior. Both of my cars, and my motorcycles, have enough stickers saying as much.
This is America today:
What is this from?
The Man in the High Castle TV Series, about an alternate universe where the axis powers won WW2 and invaded the USA. It’s interesting to watch, even if its a very fucked up scenario.
Thanks
WW2, vietnam, Israels genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Ukraine, desert storm, the iran-iraq war, pakistan vs India, china vs india… so many wars… In a sense they are all the same war. Its humanity against the worst impulses of itself that always threaten to define all of us. The western rules based order was supposed to the antidote for that cycle or left-right swing and resource coveting, and now the technocrats, fascists, and centrists have tossed that on the floor and pissed on it in the name of their own cleverness. They never understood why they were in politics to begin with, beyond manipulating tactical events for some selfish douchebaggy structural advantage. Thats what Kissinger got wrong, and Biden too. Empty ends-justifies-the-means reasoning in leadership leads directly to fascism. Thats part of what the man in the high castle was supposed to illustrate.
- Step 1. try to make people aware of right and centrist’s collaboration danger via dialogue and protest
- Step 2. see everything goes wrong anyway
- step 3. wait to see if fascism burns the world faster than climate change because understanding human brain is probably not capable of handling mass media propaganda even facing imminent death
step 4. realize that, quite literally, the only way to fight fascism is to use their tactics agains them because fighting in good faith hasn’t worked at all. Propaganda, bought out politicians, rules for thee but not for me…
Yeah, at some point violence becomes the only answer remaining but it cost a lot to someone “normal” to start walking this path
I plan on starting a non-profit apartment complex and create a network amongst businesses to ensure that my tenants never have to worry about losing their rights to life.
I have a 1000 year plan that includes buying farmland, hiring medical staff and creating deals for entertainment until we can all start learning to lean on each other again.
A Declaration of Globalization: 1000 Year Plan to Save the World is in progress and will be made available for free everywhere I can once it’s written. The more people that start the process in their home country, the faster we can put it into motion
I think we’ll be lucky is humanity is still here in ten years, and you’re planning for a thousand — but I love your optimism, kind stranger.
My expectation is to die within the next 4 years. Unfortunately, I’m an “undesirable” according to my admin. However, if I can get the idea out and the ball rolling then I can only hope someone sees it to fruition
Guess I’ll die, because at this point I’m not that far removed from a jew begging my neighbors not to turn me in… and they believe everything the party says about how das Juden, or should I say Transpeople.
Being an active leftist I’d of joined the resistance.
Lemmy aint exactly the operation they had going on in Casablanca, but it’s better than Mighty No. 9
Keep your eyes open for opportunities to empower those inside the US, as they fight from within.
Keep your eyes open for opportunities to empower Canadians and Mexicans, as they stay strong against the bullying.
“You’re doing it now”
Browsing Lemmy?
I’m doing my part
I’m telling everyone I can about the wild and crazy changes since most social media and news outlets are censoring it.
I would vote harder.
I can’t tell if you are joking
Two wolves: we literally didn’t vote hard enough, but also Dems play good cop and always fall prey to the ratcheting effect.
You’ve got to mix in some laughs or you’ll hurt your voice screaming.
To the strings of your martyr?
Since I can’t get out of the country easily, I get to hide. Yaaaay.
What should I do, living in a developing country, alone with no friends whatsoever? Hard to see what can be done.
Being powerless
See a nzi or nzi flag? 🔥🍾
Beat them motherfuckers to LATIN AMERICA BAY BEEE.
Any country that gets nazis in power don’t deserve me paying taxes to them.
Create and share fire memes about it I guess
