So they are actively saying the Fascist parts out loud now.

Time is ticking away America.

More peaceful protests! /s

They're barely even doing that.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They do realize that if they keep pushing it it will end up going both ways, right?

[-] Maiq@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They're counting on it.

[-] GhostPain@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

They don't believe there is an armed Left.

The Gravy Seals are convinced of their righteously impervious dollar store body armor. lol

Why does everyone (90% of you in the comments) keep playing along with the notion that she was even disobeying Ice.

In the video I saw, she was just trying to turn her car around they started giving her random orders and then they killed her when she didn't figure out what they wanted quickly enough.

They’re just telling you that you have nothing to lose so fight back

“Every congressional democrat and every democrat who’s running for president should be asked a simple question: Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over?” Vance wrote in a post on X.

Engaging in any response implicitly agrees on the premise of his question. That 1. The agent was defending his life. 2. That someone tried to run him over. 3. That that person was a deranged leftist.

It's a loaded question from the start that must be refused outright.

We are the party of freedom

We will save you from the tyrannical government

If you disobey us you will die

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

We will save you from the tyrannical government

If you're a billionaire.

If you're a common folk, then you better get used to it.

If you're a millionaire, you also better obey us, or we will blame everything wrong with the world on you, while contrasting you to our billionaires.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Freedom is slavery...

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

Sounds like you can die if you obey their orders as well.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

We are heading to a point where we will die if and when THEY decide. The virtuosically repellant Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has already told Trump that he wants to reduce America from 335 million people, to 100 million, and he wants them to look like him (God forbid).

Direct violation of our 8th Amendment

What is the 8th amendment? 

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 month ago

8th amendment concerns protecting you from cruel and unusual punishment. Trump and DHS are actively lying to the American people.

The punishment for violation of the law isn’t immediate death, no matter how much these people and their supporters suggest. You shouldn’t be killed for disobeying ICE.

I’ve seen multiple angles of the video, ICE murdered a woman committing a Y turn to leave a situation. Even if he was in danger of the vehicle running him over, he for one put himself in that position, and then two decided to immediately fire into the face of an unarmed person driving a vehicle. Then they prevented any and all medical aid being rendered.

There is no justification, this was an execution as punishment.

Oh OK. 

However, they can just spin this as domestic terrorism. Then they can shoot to kill. 

Thanks George W. Bush & friends...

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

More likely the 5th amendment.

nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

And probably the 6th

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been

Why is ICE armed with live rounds? That is the question that should be gooing around.

People should disrupt government procedures, this government needs to be stopped now.

[-] Yezzey@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This will only embolden them to shoot more as they see there are no consequences.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

Yup, like Mattias Desmet pointed out in his book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, unchallenged, it gets worse and worse. So challenge it at every opportunity. Talk to them. Let them see other perspectives. It'll plant seeds that eventually short circuit the totalitarianised psyche, and they'll no longer be able to carry on seeing any and all atrocities as necessary virtues.

They're just thugs with too much authority.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

they are thugs expecting no resistance or consequences, if people actually fought back on the first day, things wouldve been different. we know trump loves to enact martial law, but hes going to do it sooner or later.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

When DOGE was first bursting into government office buildings with no authority at all, they just let them in. If the first few DOGE Squads had been gunned down in the lobbies for trying invade a government facility, we'd be in a different place right now.

People need to organize into states, states need to get their shit together and begin preparing non-violently, together, for the inevitable civil conflict. If in a world replete with reasons why and how civil wars happen against dictators the US cannot see past their own previous Civil War into why they fought it, to decide whether it was due to Civil Rights or whether it was simply to maintain the Manifest Destiny hegemony, they have already lost. Although there's too many people thinking this will blow over peacefully without any more preparation except that to believe they can return to the old oligarchy way of doing things for me to have any hope..

Trump and Shady Vance could die for disobeying the American people. That would take about 3 more invasions, 6 rapes, and 75 americans murdered by their own government, before that will happen (based on what I've seen so far). The biggest mistake people are making is waiting for the democrats to save them.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago

The biggest mistake people are making is waiting for the democrats to save them.

Nobody wants to be the one that goes down in history for kicking off the Civil War. But once it gets going, and people don't have choices any more, they'll get involved.

Everybody is still hoping that there will be a peaceful solution, but whatever that is, it will be unsatisfying to all, and will only be a band-aid on an increasingly festering wound. More and more, it's looking like America is going to have to literally fight to take our country back from treasonous criminals.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

A civil war isn't possible in any sense that we know it. America is too big and the fronts are near infinite, city limits, but really, individual property lines in both cities and rural areas.

Fighting an oppressive government is revolutionary, so it would be more of a revolutionary war, but highly individualized.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago

You know we already had a Civil War, right? So your assertion that it "isn't possible" is disproven immediately.

Of course we can have a Civil War. It will be messy, but ALL wars are messy, that's kind of the point.

Just to point out for everyone in the black hole of political Lemmy that in whatever place you live right now it's not really like that. Go have a coffee with someone.

It just gets super hot and super dense in here sometimes.

[-] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago

I am currently personally unaffected but not under any delusion that things aren't like that.

Just because you're not a child whose mother just got shot dead by ICE Nazis, doesn't mean it's a good idea to plug your ears and pretend everything is fine until it effects you.

This is time to pay attention and get mad.

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Packs of wolves roam our towns picking off the weak one by one. Nothing to be alarmed by. /s

Boycott US

2337 readers
211 users here now

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Join 50501.chat to fight back!
