I say America has especially contributed to militarization in the sense that we have 42% of arms exports with 4.2% of the global population. We have the technology, economies of scale, and corporate capture to really amplify the amount of arms globally.
The American federal government is actively responsible for the perpetual torture of the people it sent to CECOT. If that doesn't sit right with you then consider getting involved. Look up local organizations. Take action.
There are leftist and radical leftist views that aren't authoritarian at all. Unfortunately we have a very militarized world, especially thanks to America, and this mass production of 'security' insulates leaders from populations thus reversing the direction of leverage that we want to have.
You don't want to know.
Remember the CIA is responsible for the human trafficking and brutal torture of children and countless other crimes including multiple genocides. This is Slotkin's family. Slotkin supports the genocide in Gaza. Her family is involved in that one too.
You're replying to a psychopath who worked in the CIA. You can't get a fascist to stop working together with other fascists. If you have hope in Slotkin then I don't know what to say. Organize immediately with others. Find local groups. This is an emergency. People can save each other.

Psychiatric Medicalization Disorder Diagnostic Criteria 1. Conflating science with normative claims. 2. Fixation on medicalizing minorities. 3. An aversion to philosophical contemplation. 4. Excusing or denying the cultural biases in one's field. 5. Delusions of intellectual superiority.
"what do Eyes mean? people ask me all the time." A prefix only ever of incoherent ramblings.
Katherine Clark supports Israel's genocide in Gaza and the expansion of that genocide to the West Bank. Supporting the slaughter of men, women, and children is not feminism, and Katherine is not a feminist ally.
I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act
Be nice to your allies. You want a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You posted a message several times so I was giving a suggestion. Hitting the streets is good but that's not all I'm talking about. Standard mainstream protesting is a funnel into action.
There are many ways to resist. There's something out there for everyone. Find your niche, your slot.
The American government is illegitimate and psychopathic. Join the growing political revolution. This government has no right to exist. Don't ever give them credit for anything. They don't represent you. Join local groups. Get involved. They need you. They're all over. Try one of them.
Tell people to look up their local groups and get involved. The mass movement is growing but a lot of people aren't really seeing it. It's there. Join. Be welcomed. They need you. Individual actions are good too, but with others we're even more powerful. Tell them that. Spell it out for them.
It's painful enough having to fight with one's own body all the time. Life outside the body should be Different From That. It should be relaxed and free. It isn't, in this nightmarish hierarchical society. They can have their games and their material possessions, and we can have the truth.
Their words would be heard, their boundaries accepted without friction. The pain and passion they put into anything would be recognized and felt. Their experiences and point of view valued as insights to be shared.
In my dream world everyone would just be a part of things. They wouldn't even be looked at through the language of disability per se, just seen as people with various kinds of bodies. They'd find their slot in life, their own choice. Their own search for meaning.
Fellow, not sure precisely what you're going through. Fibromyalgia / disability here, in few words. I wish people saw the pain and passion someone puts into what they do rather than measuring their worth solely on whatever the end product is. They're missing the full story, the beauty of it.
Neighbors and acquaintances, anyone who figures out someone is ICE, ostracize them with maximal viciousness. If they flee then good. Figure out where they went and let the people in that area know as well.
Any friends or family of ICE members need to disown them with maximal disdain and venom. Ostracize them. Drive them to suicide if you can.
Organize and resist immediately! Preemptively!
People need to preemptively organize and resist this. This will get worse than most people realize. Find your local groups. Search them up or ask someone. They need your help. People are stronger together. Resist. Small actions add up. That is part of the logic of a mass movement.
He's a traitor. Trials for him as well.
I encourage people to look up their local groups and organize against this depravity. This American government has no right to exist and must be opposed vigorously. They're coming for everyone different from their vision of a racist and corporate hierarchy. Make. Them. Angry. Find your allies.
CECOT is a morally wrong punishment in a universal sense.
Slotkin worked in the CIA, the most morally depraved organization in the entire world.
She's their ally.
Why #America is a horrible place: 1. Economic #inequality 2. Minority #oppression 3. #Corrupt political process 4. Foreign aggression and exploitation 5. Unsustainability 6. Militarized police state 7. Greedy capitalistic consumerist ethos
More people are resisting than you may realize! We have to find each other.
Talk to acquaintances and friends about what you're all doing to resist the American government's fascist explosion. Normalize this topic of conversation! #resistance #leftist #liberal #politics #notusedtotags
People have to organize immediately. Look up local groups. They're happy to have new people come by because they need the help. Individual actions are good as well but organization creates even more power and it's less lonely.
1. Eliminate the police state. 2. Eliminate the military industrial complex. 3. Money out of politics. 4. Reverse economic inequality. 5. Sustainability. This is what we need as a starter. This requires a political revolution. This requires mass organization. Newsom is a corrupt corporate democrat.
Agreed. Any left-leaning person who can own a gun safely should do so right now.
I don't know why you're throwing a jab at leftists as a group. Some leftists are risking their safety and freedom right now, including some that post on social media. If anyone reading this hasn't gotten involved IRL then I encourage you to take the first step: look up your local groups. <3
Newsom fighting fascism is kind of like a quant donating to poor people. They both had to do horrible things to get to that level of power. Their good deeds have a larger absolute magnitude because of the power they wield, but the relative magnitude is minimal and the prior harms are high.
That's definitely not all you said.
I'd also add that crime is a made up idea and violence is a politicized concept when used by the powerful. Throwing someone in prison isn't violence according to them, nor a crime. Something only counts as violence or a crime to them if they want it to count. What they do doesn't count.
One woman was held in solitary confinement for years because she refused to take off her hijab. America has a sick and oppressive system that has to be fixed, and it ought to be fixed primarily by the people who don't suffer much under it. That is a moral obligation.
It is inflicted on children. It is inflicted on pregnant women. It is inflicted on the elderly and disabled. It is inflicted on people with serious mental health needs. It is inflicted extrajudicially by cruel staff. It is inflicted with dehumanizing fervor. It is inflicted for any or no reason.
They literally torture people systematically. The common method is solitary confinement. People smear shit on the walls, scream, bang their heads to try to kill themselves, actually kill themselves sometimes, go psychotic, etc. It is a long-term form of torture, worse than brutal executions.
The fitness test should involve having to jump over rivers of lava.
It's important to understand that crime is not in and of itself a bad thing. It depends on the type of crime and the context in which it takes place. Humans made up crime.
Republicans want there to be more crime because it serves their political interests of 'solving' that crime by expanding the police state. People need to look up their local organizations and join. Organize.
This is not my wish list for what society should be like. This is just the bare minimum of what we need. Namely: 1. Safety 2. Peace 3. Representation 4. Distributed power 5. Hope
5. Sustainability Destroying the planet that we rely on will create ongoing global catastrophes and political strife. This will devastate any attempt at maintaining a society worth living in or worth living next to.
4. Reverse economic inequality. Our current levels of economic inequality nationally and globally concentrate immense power into a fraction of the population. This also has a destructive and corrupting force.
3. Money out of politics. Money corrupts everything. Money has no morality. Money is power. A state which exists as a tool for a concentrated fraction of the population is inevitably going to end disastrously.
2. No more military industrial complex. If America becomes a nice place to live internally, but continues to spread devastation globally, then not only is that a hollow victory but the hollow morality behind that complacent selfishness will destroy us again.
1. No more police state. A police state insulates leaders from the population and is used to control a population through violence and fear. This makes deeper progress impossible.
What are the most essential and necessary political changes? 1. No more police state. 2. No more military industrial complex. 3. Money out of politics. 4. Reverse economic inequality. 5. Sustainability Without all of this we haven't even arrived at an acceptable society.
Yeah. She was clearly so compassionate.
I voted for Satan.
You: "Democrats are always held to some unattainable standard of perfection, while Republicans aren't." Me: "Not sending weapons to an ongoing genocidal campaign is a very attainable standard."
Brian I can't find the part where you talk about the genocide for the first time ever. Can you link me?
I've stumbled into a weird part of BlueSky apparently. This leftists caused Trump narrative is philosophically confused. Not white men? Not blue corporate politics? It was leftists. Are they sure about that? Leftists what, voted Trump more than Kamala or something? God.
Not sending weapons to an ongoing genocidal campaign is a very attainable standard.
The democrats are corrupt. Corporate media is corrupt. Join local groups. More people are needed. People are joining every day. It's getting bigger. Be welcomed. Ask how you can help. Find your kin. Crush ICE. Help others. Agreed. Newsom is a nightmare. Let him fight but he's a demon.
We need more people. Look up your local groups and join one or more. Show up. Be welcomed. Ask how you can help. They need you. They'll be happy to see you. Crush ICE. Help people. These judicial victories here and there are great but not enough. We need more people.
"Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14 051 750 (uncertainty interval 8 475 990–19 662 191) additional all-age deaths, including 4 537 157 (3 124 796–5 910 791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030."
The democrats aren't going to save us. We have to organize immediately and help each other. Build ties. Find your local groups and show up. Be welcomed. Ask how you can help. They need you. Don't buy on want. Buy on need. Keep that money for helping others or yourself survive.
If you want to stop Trump (or something more) then: 1. Find local groups. 2. Show up and be welcomed. 3. Ask how you can help out. Organize!
You support genocide over AIPAC money? Good luck with that. I'm sure the rest of your life will go well. Also don't play games with us. We all know what you're doing. You can't gaslight your way out of this one, sorry. We're done with this shit.
Yeah it is kind of pathetic. I think the problem was that I kept reading and looking at the images/videos and testimonies.
I'm less worried about World War 3 than I am about World Prison 1.
POV: You're having a nightmare that you are a bitter old Nazi and the dementia is getting pretty bad.
Altruism is stronger than greed: it's mathematics. It only works though if enough people unite together and believe in it.
Nabil Zaqout and his wonderful family are fighting to survive against Israel's genocide in Gaza. He has shared a great deal of information and been vetted. See the link. Consider supporting him by donating or spreading the message. Organize worldwide. Find a local group to oppose corrupt power.
Talk about the genocide Brian. Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? I know those are hard questions Brian but I believe in you.
This is a speed run of why the American government is psychopathic. Put it on 1.5x speed if you like.
This is another crime more people should know about. The American government kidnapped children and chose to enact extreme long-term torture on them. This was policy. This is out in the open. There was never justice. This is a psychopathic and illegitimate government even if you ignore Epstein.
Let's just have a nice kind comfortable society for privileged groups while America commits a horror fest around the world. Surely it would be shocking if that society turned out to be deeply sick and dangerous.
I should say people labeled as having psychiatric disabilities, because the concept of this is based on a flawed framework
Obama also ordered drone strikes that killed innocent civilians and chose not to hold anyone accountable for the extrajudicial kidnapping and extreme long-term torture inflicted upon innocent people from various parts of the world in black sites.
It's plausible that fighting fascism on a fascist platform like X is doomed to fail because of increasing internet censorship. That's why organizing is essential. We have to connect in real life and not rely entirely on these vulnerabilities in internet spaces for communication.
And educate people in the leftwing about activism in general. Strategies, how to get involved. This will help a lot. We have to reject greed and give to each other to become stronger. We have to work together.
I think the best investment of time and energy for most people is to get organized and do direct action. I think it's more the liberal types that are worth educating. Many are changing rapidly. If they can get involved and learn as they go about the world then that would help the movement.
Also don't forget the kidnapping and torture of minors at Guantanamo Bay. This was long-term extreme torture of minors. There was never any justice. This is a psychopathic and illegitimate government even if you delete 99% of the atrocities.
Always remember that the American government is illegitimate and psychopathic.
There's a lot of discussion about the #Epstein coverup, but almost no discussion about atrocities by the American government that equal it. The government #kidnapped and #tortured minors at Guantanamo Bay. This was extreme, long-term torture. There was never any justice.
Don't insult a woman for what her lips look like or her body looks like. It's not about Laura Ingraham. It's an insult to others as well and normalizes that.
They did this kind of stuff to a child by the way, and stated that they would target children if they wanted to without any regard for age.
Slotkin is ex-CIA for your information. This is the most immoral organization in the entire world. www.intelligence.senate.gov/wp-content/u... Control find "rectal feeding". This is about a millionth of how evil this organization is.
If any medical worker force feeds the hunger protesters at the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp (Alligator Alcatraz) then I want you to know that what you are doing is abuse, torture, and illegal internationally. If anyone finds out who you are your life will be socially a hell.
I'm not including the references on BlueSky right now because I'm not sure what a good way to do so is yet.
My video on Shell, Nigeria, oil, environmental racism, resistance, atrocities, and lack of accountability. Sorry for the background noise...try your best to ignore it. See the video reply for a list of great references!
'Harass' your bad democrat representatives to be better by calling their office. Pretend you'll oppose them / not donate if they don't do what you want. Pretend you'll support them if they do what you want. Either way let those be empty words and focus on whatever is practical going forward.
Look up the conditions of the asylums. This is what is coming back. These facilities involve overcrowding, filthy conditions, and horrible abuse and neglect on top of human rights violations. Mental hospitals of today are problematic in many ways as well, but asylums will be much worse.
My video talking about the lack of compassion and understanding towards houseless people, people with drug addiction, and people with psychiatric disabilities. I also discuss the problems with many medical facilities and the problems with institutionalization. #mentalhealth #disability
The police state tries to justify itself by claiming it provides safety and order, but it insulates a government which is far more murderous. #war #militaryindustrialcomplex #military #armsindustry
Social media censorship is a massive problem. #censorship #youtube #cnn #fox
She had no phone. She couldn't move around. Her back was so sensitive that her wheel chair had to be pulled backwards over cracks and bumps in the ground. This is a face of structural violence. Dehumanization never ends well. These people need protection and support. They are not safe right now.
I once lived somewhere with a small community of houseless people. They hanged out together and people knew them. They had each other. Most places I've seen are horrible. Isolated people baking under the sun. I once saw an old lady in a wheel chair covered in diarrhea, stranded in a concrete jungle.
To support banning 'homeless encampments' is to support the destruction of communities formed by people without houses. They have friends. They have support systems. They have social activities. Life is about more than having capital. This is structural violence.
19. I'll add more over time if I feel okay to.
18. The arms industry makes us less safe by diverting resources away from sectors essential to our health and well-being. It also makes us less safe by making us less democratic and by helping to militarize police etc., expand surveillance, and overall rapidly grow the police state.
17. America is already safe from foreign attacks. We have the strongest military in the world and we have nuclear missiles. We exist between two massive oceans. We are so safe that despite our violent actions turning much of the world against us we don't feel the consequences at home anyway.
