    Nader is the first I’ve read who says what I’ve been thinking: when does the killing begin?

    That will seem like an extreme statement to some, but a campaign of terror is absolutely coming.

      Not extreme at all. Fucking Trumpies stormed the capitol over conspiracy theories - why aren’t we doing the same for our rights and freedoms?

      Guillotine the motherfuckers.

        Because since we believe in reality, and we’re not in a cult, it’s a lot harder to get us organized for anything.

        It’s why cults are so fucking dangerous in a democracy. How do you even fight people who refuse to compromise or accept reality?

        I mean, how many COVID deniers denied it up to their literal last breath? Plenty.

        We have skepticism and stepping back for self-reflection and considering other options. They have what their God Trump tells them, and that’s it.

          the reality IS that they will come for you if you don’t strike first. you people need to understand how wars work.

            Hey, lots of us understand, that doesn’t make it any easier to organize other people.

              i guess we just have to keep saying it does. if you were trying to prepare, you’d want to start telling people now. it has to be an inescapable message in social media.

      Technically the killing has already begun, but the deaths probably are incidental to Musk randomly turning off shit.

      That’s still structural murder.

      I mean, it either starts because nobody in power is listening or because people have already been stripped of what they’re afraid to lose.
