"Don't fight back politically or we'll kill you."
Awesome! Totally reasonable and sane thing to say. I'm just hoping my country (Canada) can stay relatively unaffected by the brainrot that led to Project 2025.
I don't know how resilient we will be against rising fascism considering the high cost of living and the recent grocery price increases.
Trudeau and the Liberals seem to be laying the red carpet for career whiner Poilievre to walk in to the leader position next year.
Fascism is capitalism in decay. It will come to all capitalist societies unless they’re able to abolish capitalism.
ORGANIZE instead of spending all your energy deciding what fascist to vote. before its too late, you are running out of time.
socialism is the only way we ever got rid of fascism and good luck.
I live in Alberta
The brain rot is already setting in, sorry to say =/
In Alberta's case I'm more convinced every day that the very high number of American immigrants (historical and current) has something to do with it. If it stays within the province's borders, I'm okay with that, but it is something to keep an eye on.
Would be nice if Canada had real leftist politicians and not people like Mulcair, Horwath, and Singh (sorry Jagmeet, I like you but you're just not good enough). It frustrates me to no end that people in North America think the Liberals and Democrats are "the left."
I’m a couple hours from your border and will be walking through the woods to claim asylum if shit gets bad.
I know Democrats are stuck with a shit candidate right now that supports an apartheid state currently committing genocide. And I know they're fully exploiting the fact that their opponent is Mussolini 2.0.
I know they're very critical of the current candidate, but what would they rather have? A psychopath extreme right dictator in charge of the world largest surveillance agencies, military force and nuclear arsenal, as well as one of the world's leading economy and biggest influence on the planet? Or a relatively sensible paraissent whose only flaw right now is supporting one wrong nation and whose position can potentially be changed on the matter?
Do you think Biden will change his mind on Israel slaughtering Palestinians when the death toll number doubles or triples?
His support team will make him have a nap before his next debate so it will go his sundowning will be more masked and the media will manufacture consent as always to make it seem like it is too late to run literally anyone else.
Kamala sucks but she would look like a spring chicken compared to Trump standing next to her spouting ridiculous likely misogynistic bullshit in a debate.
You can criticize Biden, and you would be right. But I'm asking the question again. What would you rather have?
What would you rather have?
A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world's highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.
You're arguing from a false premise.
There's a lot of things I'd rather have, but we're not dealing in fantasy. What non-fascist options exist right now, or could reasonably be created before this year's election?
You're arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is "fantasy". Is that what you really believe?
I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?
So if you expect there won't be any protest and that people at just doing to fold over (like what happened in Italy or Germany) then what do you think is the best option???
THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION.
"THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION" because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.
People are "just going to fold over" because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist's work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.
Sorry buddy. But you live in la la land.
Voting a third option will get Trump elected. The right is united behind him. If everyone else splits their vote, there doing to lose.
I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.
I think you misunderstand that I'm talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it's largely a scam.
I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.
Can you please not just roll over and die. I'm begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.
The Convention hasn't happened yet. He can still be replaced. We aren't stuck!
The revolution they want isnt going to happen even with copious amounts of blood sacrifice. But hey if you want to bleed out for the cause wecan accommodate
