Yup, we've just spent the last 50 years being conditioned that non-violent resistance is the only option, even though it is completely ineffective in a real conflict

Ask the Ukrainians how that would have worked out. The new ICE guys are going to be real stromtrooper brutes, count on it.

They already are.

I'm pretty sure they would agree with me since they did not comply?

You are technically correct that the Americans of today are not the Americans of 1776.

Everyone in the "old" West has been conditioned that wars and civil wars are a thing of the past. In Europe, we have learned otherwise by the Ukraine attack. One million are dead, many more to come. In the US, you will learn from the takeover of blue districts by red states. Will you comply?

IDK California seems to be resisting, DC is resisting.... Europeans always seem to forget how BIG the USA is. DC is about 2,600 miles from my house. It's about a two days drive. Meanwhile the Equator is about 1,200 miles from my house. Do you see the problem?

DC is in the worst position for resisting. CA is in the best position. Of course, folks in CA can't do much about what happens on the other side. That's why I don't think you can save the union. Submit or secede, I say.

Where you from Peter?

Germany.

In which case, Id think youd be a lot more worried that Trump is following the playbook of that mustached guy from your country's past.

It's been said that Mein Kampf was on his nightstand. I tend to lend some credence to it. However, the crusade against anti-semitism doesn't fit, but then Stephen Miller is writing the real playbook. We are learning Jews can be fascist, too, and commit holocausts.

I mean arguably, trump has his finger on one, as a nationwide ban for this care would kill upwards of 8 million ppl for being born different, not necessarily even identifying as trans.

eh Hitler was propped up to ensure the people who refused to leave Europe would go to Zion Rothschild gonna Rothschild

That's something that really trips me up. For a group of people who survived the genocide of the Holocaust to turn around and decide to do a Genocide of there own. 🤷 Like Folks did we learn nothing from the past? Are we as a species forever doomed to make the same mistakes over and over?

It’s a dialectic being played, it’s what that tribe has done for centuries. Look into who the Bolsheviks were

Also, there is no "we". Some are smart, some are dumb. If the latter take over, shit happens.

Generally there are smart people who amass loyal dumb dumbs. Then they fight

Well, you're right about that, but you also declared that "everybody would comply" when discussing what Americans would do earlier, so it seems like you're a bit selective when acknowledging that groups have different kinds of people.

The forgetting takes 4 generations, then the cards are played like a totally new game.

I cannot say what I want to about Stephen and Katie Miller. I wonder if their parents worry about them, or their children. Jeff Sessions was Stephen Miller's mentor. That and the fact that during his early years he always spewed hatred, in school, college, he's the epitome of evil as is his wife.

Surprised you guys were so chill with Ukraine taking out your energy pipeline, that didn’t seem like a fun winter after

I applaud the Ukrainians for having done that. It caused no problems in Winter. Climate change isn't the only reason to phase out fossils. 1) It is an issue of strategic independence 2) Necessary to bankrupt all the rogue regimes built on oil 3) Decentralized energy to blunt missile terrorism.

The ability to take short-term pain is a prerequisite for investment into building a more desirable future. This will pay off big time someday. Then, of course, all the naysayers will say that they have known it all along.

The Ukraine conflict is just the elites murdering off a bunch of slavs, sad really But they have their heart set on taking back Ukraine to make “big Israel”.

It's Fires All over the World; Not just in the Mediterranean. Canada was just on fire, Washington is on Fire, California seems to always be on Fire, Australia, Asia... these MEGA fires are just going to get worse and bigger as systems continue to get drier and drier.

Eh, we used to do great with controlled burns here and forest management. Unfortunately bad actors weaponized the good intent of environmentalists. The green lobby prevented any fire mitigation for decades, built up a fuel load so bad insurance companies bailed and then the inevitable happens
