The tech fascists essentially want to gut regulation so they can build corporate feudalism. Run experiments on biotech, genetic research, etc. Extend their own life spans. Build advanced military technology. And enslave the rest of us.
Essentially, they read Ayn Rand, saw some cyberpunk flicks, and chose to be the villains in the story.
They're an existential threat to our species. And likely a lot of other life on the planet.
When the nazis took over France the vast majority people who joined the resistance were children, teenagers, and some unemployed. Nearly everyone who had any assets or wealth flopped and followed their new laws, including turning in their neighbours and assisting the genocide.
This was written in the autobiography of the resistance leader, Jacques Lusseyran, who was a blind child who personally vetted everyone joining the resistance.
Surely now that the average American has access to limitless information and organizing capabilities and access to a well armed populace they won’t fall to the same fate…
Those signs insulting them do nothing, and thats what they want...these domestic terrorists need to be forcibly removed. Nothing else will stop them.
I agree, but at the same time comments like these are as useful as Americans shouting at Russians back in 2022 to "just overthrow your government lol it's not so hard, here's some tips on how to stuff a molotov in a tank".
These kinds of protests and movements won't make the people in power ragequit, but they are useful for organization and gaining support which will later have to escalate in order to do anything meaningful, with things like general strikes and violent escalation if even that gets ignored.
The question is - will the protesters be willing to escalate? Or are they under the delusion that peaceful protests alone will be enough to destroy an authoritarian regime? Only time will tell.
Your comment does less.
Let me know when you're done forcibly removing them. Or are you armchairi g this and managing to doing even less than less?
What do you think the average person could do, besides luigiesque activity, to help stop or slow them down? Like, little things they could do a few times per week. I’m open to possible misdemeanors, but I’d like to avoid felonies. Any thoughts?
besides luigiesque activity
Actually even that (usually referred to as adventurism) is just pointless. Luigi's alleged actions were the talk of the news for a month straight, it united both left and right online, yet are there any protests for the release of Luigi right now? Has healthcare improved in any meaningful way? Did anything meaningful come out of it besides a few CEO's being spooked and removing their contact data from websites?
There are no little things that can be done on an individual level, even if they result in felonies. Collective action is necessary and joining/getting involved with local protests is as good of a starting point as any - it won't achieve any meaningful change alone, but if it's used to gather more and more support for an eventual escalation that would light a fire under the government's ass, only then would any kind of change happen.
Such a lazy non-answer.
is America, all dissent charges are felonies now
Well, you’re letting him.
So isn't this supposed to be the reason for having the 2nd Amendment? To stop this kinda shit?
Yes I'm being sarcastic.
