Is the dipshit even there right now? I'd assume His Shittiness is out golfing.
Instructions unclear, stole Nancy Pelosi's desk.
The fantasy land you exist in must be fascinating
Lol right? That one asshole got shot entering the main chamber and it only had the VP and congress. You think they won't just open fire on protesters getting half way up the lawn of the white house? Hell, Trump is probably asking if they can send troops in to break it up cause their standing around with signs.
hey those sticks that hold the signs are pointy! clearly a dangerous weapon, and a danger to the snipers on the roof
Well get to it John Rambo
TBF nobody has ever voted their way out of fascism
But coming on here and writing that shit out seeking others to agree with it is dangerous and just plain stupid.
No, aknowledging reality isn't stupid
This isn't "acknowledging reality". It's promoting others to violence while you sit on the sidelines

I see you go all over Lemmy and make insult comments to people, not just me.
“acknowledging reality”.
I don't think you acknowledge reality and the Russian War Against Reality.
What's your name? My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht. Do you avoid reality and your real name on social machines?
Why do people always post shit like this? If I say my car needs a new transmission are you going to tell me go learn to be a mechanic?
Saying something needs to be done =/= volunteering to do that thing.
We've got an entire military who swore an oath to defend the constitution against domestic threats like Donald Trump - we don't need a Rambo, we need the people we're paying to keep our country intact to do their fucking job. Obviously they're choosing not to, but that doesn't mean the need for them to suddenly disappears or that Joe-Average on an internet forum is suddenly responsible for taking on that burden himself.
But maybe Joe-Average's rant on the internet forum will meet the eyes of someone qualified to get the job done, and serve as that push that's needed to actually take action.
So why the dismissive shit? Worse case scenario it accomplishes nothing: let the dude vent.
Because he's not on here saying his car is broken? He's here telling other people how THEY should be carrying out an insurrection, and then doing fuck all themselves. Promoting violence while you hang out on the sides is pretty shitty

Yes it is, and it's what Clown Populations do on social machines.
We don't need violence, we need people to humanize media systems and stop dehumanizing people they disagree with and start solving the intellectual problems of society.
When the only language the opposition speaks is violence we have to learn to speak it fluently in order to have a conversation.

I understand people adore hate and violence, it isn't hard at all for me to see people flock to guns, weapons, hate, mass dehumanization leaders, systems of wrecking human lives and wrecking the planet. People speak hate fluently, it's love and compassion nobody bothers to learn the language.

To be clear I don’t adore it but I know no amount of love and compassion will get through to these people and there are enough of them in power we can’t ignore them anymore. Unless our peaceful protest is backed by a willingness to respond to their violence in kind they can simply be ignored. Maybe the solution is economic violence (general strike, sit ins) but when they send police to break it up and arrest people everyone needs to be ready to defend themselves.
but I know no amount of love and compassion will get through to these people
How do you know this?
It sounds to me like you have so much faith in Hell that you want to build Hell. A very long-standing problem with teaches and educators.
I also don't mean Hell is a literal place under the Earth, underground. But an attitude of faith and belief in how love is not worth the effort and war is good.
I was born in the South of USA, in Georgia in 1969. We had a song on the F.M. radio about your attitude that compassion goes into the trash every time things get difficult. Molly Hatchet, a Florida hard-rock band. "Fall of the Peacemakers". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gncyDkWWY_w
The gun-stroking pro-violence hate-preachers who run this nation in April 2025 - every day on social machines I witness why these leaders are popular. People have absolute faith in dehumanizing and killing those they disagree with.
Because I see these people every day, because I tried to fight it with love and compassion and understanding since 2016 and every single time they just chose to get worse. Because nobody stopped them, because that’s who they want to be. I’ve lost family and friends to this mind virus who have chosen the cult over the people who love them. They chose hatred over love and more love only enables them to go further away.
I’ve heard the world they want to bring us and to me that is hell. They’ve driven us to the point that the choice hell for them, or hell for us. I didn’t leave this comment to try and get into a debate so I’ll probably be done responding after this. But if my only choice is two hells I’d rather be the one at my devil’s side than the one under his boot.
Once they’re thoroughly defeated and their sick cult destroyed that’s the time for kindness. Thats the time for healing. Right now nothing can heal as long as they’re still around and we’re afraid to amputate the rot.
All that said if you still believe kindness and compassion can save these lost souls then I wish you better luck than I. I do believe some of them can be saved but the harm we let them do to others as we waste time trying isn’t something I’m willing to be part of anymore.
My stance is the same as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Terrorism has since proven MLK Jr correct after his death. Technology of drones and new smart ways of killing people from a distance. Without compassion, people will just keep advancing technology of how to wreck other people's lives with power and force.
Clown is a known anti-semitic dogwhistle, especially when applied to population groups. It's entered common usage but you really need to stop pushing this dumbass phrase, like we don't know you're trying to get a Lemmy version of the hate sub ClownWorld going.
Clown is a known anti-semitic dogwhistle
it's a reference to the common phrase "Put Clowns in the Palace, turn the Palace into a clown show". Citation: On 4th February (2022), Henry Mance used it with impeccable correctness in the Financial Times: ‘An adulterated Turkish proverb is doing the rounds: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.” Well, a circus would be more organised than whatever happened in the British government this week. We have a broken swing and a clown who barely has enough balls to juggle with. Cirque du Soleil, this is not.’
you really need to stop pushing this dumbass phrase
Everyone who disagrees with you you bark "shut up" and call dumb asses I see.
like we don’t know you’re trying to get a Lemmy version of the hate sub ClownWorld going.
All hate is bad. That's the problem with social media clowns, they hide their identity and misinterpret everything because they have zero training in media ecology.
anti-semitic dogwhistle
This is directed at all media platforms, not just Levant Bible, Levant Torah, Levant Quran consumers at Mosque, Church, Synagogue who often promote out-group hate against any "non-believers", "gentiles", "infidels".
I've been very up-front and direct, not "dogwhistle", which you can't seem to understand and comprehend clear and direct communication that isn't based on manipulation. All you seem capable of mocking and insulting what you disagree with intellectually. Which is a very common problem in April 2025 on Lemmy social media environment and Reddit social media environment and Bluesky social media enviornment. People who are anti-humanism in favor of technology love.
My message was VERY CLEAR: "Yes it is, and it’s what Clown Populations do on social machines." - about social machines, Lemmy users. "We don’t need violence, we need people to humanize media systems and stop dehumanizing people they disagree with and start solving the intellectual problems of society." is what I said, directing the topic to media systems, Lemmy users.

Ok buddy dogwhistler
Ok buddy dogwhistler
You have serious media ecology literacy problems of electric media systems. I am not dogwhistling, I'm being as blunt and direct as possible. All you seem to be able to do with serious topics of media ecology is mimic Donald Trump Twitter-think Tweet-length reply with 3-word insults and mocking of truth.

Olympus Has Fallen had a better plot.
That was a surprisingly fun movie.
The sequels are gash, but then Antoine Fuqua wasn't involved with those.
At the same time that came out, there was another movie with nearly the same plot, except that the Secret Service agent had to protect the president's obnoxious 12 year old daughter.
I watched it with my son who was about the same age as the daughter, and he finally said "I wish that guy would just shoot her and shut her up."
Yeah, White House Down. A right load of crap.
Even the title was weak - Olympus Has Fallen vs White House Down. It's like the brand name vs the Great Value generic name.
Nobody will listen until people are storming the capitol with a gallows out front
I was just being sarcastic because it already happened
Imagine if everyone just took a shit on the lawn.
No kidding? You sure comment a lot on something you don"t really follow. I'm also surprised to hear that you're from El Salvador. A few days ago you were "from Massachusetts, and voted dem my whole life!" https://lemm.ee/comment/19742992
Fuck off, you lying, fascist sack of shit.
Too early and unorganized.
If they're going to gather at the Whitehouse it needs to be in the Million (min).
If they're going to burn something down it needs to be Mar Lago, not a State house. That's the difference between a riot and an insurrection.
