WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Some artifacts and exhibits are being removed from the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It comes a month after President Trump’s executive order to remove what he calls “improper ideology” from Smithsonian museums. Tourists travel from across the country to see the National Museum of African American […]

Fuck OFF. You know exactly what to do- it’s what your countrymen did, more than once, when they accomplished the things all of you have spent a couple centuries loudly taking credit for.
Do you think there weren’t colonists who were worried that rebellion would cost them their livelihoods? Do you think your grandparents fought the Nazis risk-free? You aren’t special. Your shitty job that you hate isn’t special. They were real people- you understand that, right? Everyone who ever stood up for anything consequential had plenty to lose.
For as long as I live, I never want to hear another American crowing about their oh-so-grand revolutionary spirit. But, sure, whatever- wait until your country decides to invade us and hope that we’ll take action since you spent three decades watching with your thumbs up your asses and failing to do anything while the rest of us accurately explained to you precisely what was going to happen.
You’re supposed to fight the small battles that come your way. You’re supposed to refuse to do the bad thing.
That is a great example of propaganda.
It reads like a normal comment, but it’s literally intended to suppress any attempts at resistance by pretending there’s nothing that can be done.
And the scary part is that the person who posted it might have fallen for it themselves and believed it when they posted.
This attitude is understandable but it is exactly the attitude that enables faschism. Germany in the 1930s is calling. The existential crisis, the fatalism, The call for a leader to make everything better. The time for change without risks is gone. Stakes gonna get much higher wirh time if the opposition does not move fast. Everybody has to get involved.
Then you can go on doing nothing until you’re conscripted to invade Canada.
You’re looking down a revolution here; why is your first reflex to name JD Vance? Put whoever you goddamn like in charge that’s the whole point.
Your position is absolutely understandable. What you and your fellow citizens can do are
The government wants you as apathetic as possible. Don’t let them be right
#1 and #3 accomplish nothing.
I don’t think that’s true. There’s big power in what people demonstrably believe.
Knowing that everyone else is fighting back too is emboldening.
25 years ago, maybe.
Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.
Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.
Do you think sitting on your arse claiming there’s nothing to be done is more or less demoralising than singing in the streets with like minded people?
Maybe you work different than most humans, but I think the answer to that is pretty obvious for the rest of us.
The protests are not hard enough for them to care. Fuck, half of the population supports them.
Let’s call them what they are- parades.

LOL murikkkans love to talk the big talk about tyranny but when fascism is right in their face it’s nothing but excuses.

Yes what just go into fascism because it’s hard to resist.
