But socialism is bad right?

I do this to dial in my form for my .308 using my .25 cal air rifle. Helps you develop good habits/break and ones.

This is literally why the religious right in the US is so ecstatic about the whole thing- they’re setting the whole world up to want to root for the outcome that they’re striving for- the end of days as prophesied. It’s working flawlessly.

Relatable

I mean for the US. Which is like what, less than 5% of the world population? And now maybe much less??

What we’re really fucking up is the ramp from fossil to advanced energy sources that could enable massive outward expansion into the solar system. The billionaires are forgetting that a larger piece of a smaller pie is still less pie.

They do need to do this though. Survival of the fittest. The best model gets more energy access, etc.

Not as far fetched as you’d think. If you were an alien trying to sort of pass as human whilst implementing a military dictatorship what would you do differently?

Ok I think people are missing the point here. This is the pretext to send ICE door to door to interrogate people, and you’d better believe they’ll be asking about political affiliation, sexual orientation, etc…

Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that’s what they would be doing right now.

Moreover, a violent revolution was never achieved without the attendant political and logistical organization. So regardless of eventual character, the method of building a movement remains the same. Unfortunately it’s boring, difficult work that leaves the most active most vulnerable to reprisals. Which is why people like Fred Hampton and Harvey Milk and Berta Cáceres are all so important and also ended up with their brains splattered on their beds/office floors etc.
