“but what are you doing, hero?”
The war cry of the complacent, docile and subservient American.

Most of them are the same Putin shills that throw wedges between leftists/progressives/liberals with the goal of destabilizing the US. GeNoCiDe JoE every post in 2024, but not a peep about Trump’s billionaire resort plans for the West Bank.

Goddamn blue MAGA fucking sucks. We aren’t supposed to criticize Netanyahu?. You are just mad it isn’t your woman sending the bombs.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You absolutely should criticize Netanyahu. You should also try working on your reading comprehension. I’m critical of the people who criticized Biden on every Israel post last year that doesn’t say shit about Trump this year. Just a bunch of one-sided shit stirrers.

There is literally no point in criticizing Trump. He is BELOW criticism. Every one already knows how terrible that guy is and if they don’t they’re stupid beyond all recognition.
Which is all the more reasons to criticize party who adopt the same policies as him. For example regarding israel

60000 people died in gaza by last year. Remind me who was in charge then?
Had the dems not known their voter were a bunch of little cowards they might have considered the electoral implications of bombing civilians.
And regarding the Russian shill accusation: my wife was in lebannon last week you fucking asshole.

I do think there is psyops to wedge the progressives and liberals. However, this benefits the blue MAGA nonetheless. The blue MAGA kept going on about the “lesser evil” and “perfect is the enemy of good” phrases. It occured to me that it is a thought terminating response from criticising the Democratic Party from actually being active to go further left in order to finally quash the far-right. Moreover, those phrases are also usually conservative phrases to convince people to accept the status quo. This make the Democratic party conservative. And the problem with conservatives is they would rather side with fascists, than to rein the ills of capitalism to keep the monied interests happy. The right and conservative parties in 1934 Germany elected to give Hitler absolute power while the left opposed it. Ninety years later in the US, which party allowed the GOP bill to gut welfare programmes? It is the Democrats with Chuck Schumer. Progressives have the last laugh over liberals/blue MAGA being wrong on “vote blue, no matter who” nonsense (although fascists indeed would like the left to have the last laugh before sending us to concentration camps). The Democrats would vote with MAGA regardless of whether or not they have the majority anyway!

I mean if you post online something like “Hey who wants to join my armed revolution?” then you’re gonna get the feds on you and your organization’s cover is going to get blown. If somebody does get caught and their connections can be traced back to a website or other community, then the unradicalized masses will see that website/community as a breeding ground for violence and either that website/community or the government will make the website/community clamp down and/or give up IDs of other members. Especially in an era where data is a commodity and the psychopathic tyrants are unmoved by peaceful protest, effective rebel cell formation and action has to be cloak and dagger and requires time to form an armed militia with a clear objective and a strong majority of the populace would need to sympathize. Definitely don’t abide this info and form a rebel cell in real life, since that would be illegal and therefore bad; if you were a fictional character in the fictional Star Wars universe, for example, then go ahead.

Damn I hadn’t realised I never actually helped organise a protest for paramedics in my city.
I could’ve sworn I had before you let me know I hadn’t.
Silly me

No he wasn’t. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it’s important to spread the word.

If you’re organizing protests, you really don’t want your online presence linked to your actions or your identity.
