Look, I'm not asking them to fall in their swords. I'm just asking that they don't fly out to Maro Lago to say he's normal actually.

Our per capita income gap conveniently ignores the wealth inequality. Maybe don't take lessons from the country going fascist because the economy isn't working for the majority of it's people.

These were the guys that told Biden not to step out of the race. These people also claimed Trump was fascist at one point. What changed? Did they ever have spines?

The way they treat entropy reminds me of those creationists that insist thermodynamics disproves evolution. I think this guy took it a step further and thinks evolution proves there must be a ~~god~~ simulated universe.

Fred Hampton spent more time building coalitions then he did calling his own cowardly.

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

How do we gum up the works?

Seriously good read on what to do next: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

The fascist power structure is unjust and so it is like an upsidedown pyramid being propped up by pillars: people who do the actual work are the pillars. This pyramid topples when those pillars are removed. This can be a workers' strike in a certain sector (example given was the eastern shoremen refusing to load weapons for a war).

I'm also struck by how the article says to handle fear. We need to act as community and flip the script on their fear tactics.

The author of the article also has an interesting interview with Sam Seder where they talk about more historical examples: https://youtu.be/YLBM2SEL6Rc

Don't blame me, I voted for Dr Eggman.

Those of us who are terminally online should definitely checking sources, but I don't think that is practical for those working two shifts and taking care of a family.

SCOTUS: we stopped caring about being consistent

I see Epstein's friends are getting along just fine without him.
