Well, I guess I tried to do everything I could.

Too bad :(

I respectfully disagree. Conservatives do not need reasons to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely. Conservatives (such as those working for DHS or the FBI) are currently able to detain anyone without hearing and without any access to any “due process” via executive memorandum (such as NSPM-7) under the Patriot Act. The leader of the conservatives is actively directing this to happen and is openly and publicly promising to dramatically increase such detentions after midterms.

Detention without adequate nutrition, sleep or medical care is their current standard treatment for all detainees, even those who are eventually released. Some detainees that are NOT held indefinitely are held in these conditions for over a year and suffer permanent injury as a result. Many die under these conditions because they lose access to their needed medications or treatments or simply because the conditions breed deadly disease. Conservatives celebrate all of this. They will absolutely not stop without physically and forcibly being stopped.

Our lack of evidence of gas chambers or executions does not absolve conservatives of beginning the first stages of genocide against their enemies. They are doing absolutely everything they can to kill us and are quietly escalating the scale and pace with which they do it. There are no exaggerations here. Pretending it’s not happening is the standard play of conservative fascists. It always has been. We saw that exact same deception in WWII.

Yes conservatives arrest violent protestors, but they also arrest peaceful protesters in even greater numbers. Violence is immaterial to their arrest decisions. However, I am not suggesting violence in the streets is the only way to kill our enemy. Especially not when they control our military.

To erase an enemy on an industrial scale (which is needed when there are over 100 million of them), we can use perfectly legal methods. For example, conservatives despise regulations that protect their water and air. So, they have abolished those laws in countless conservative areas. This is a major opportunity to make sure millions of them develop multiple myeloma or pancreatic cancer without ever breaking a single law. Sure these diseases can take years to be effective, but for those of us in concentration camps years from now, that investment will be critical. In fact, we can even use the proceeds from such endeavors to fund further erasure projects before we are detained or executed. Combined with other industrial acts of resistance, we can make a massive difference without firing a single shot.

Conservatives have made it clear for over 100 years that we are their enemy. They have told us time and time again they want us dead. We need to listen to them. They are not pretending.

As we enter the endgame of their plans to oppress and kill their undesirables, any promise that peace is the solution is a lie that only serves the enemy. It is a lie that has killed millions in the past and is a lie that could kill millions in the present.

I think you know how dangerous it is to tell people to wait to resist. Please stop. There is no effective resistance from a detention camp. Conservatives will never stop trying to oppress and kill us as long as they continue to live. We must act now, while we still can.

Are those views absent from the American conceptual space?

Pretty damn close. And if you look at other wars and conflicts, the idea that we should even consider other options besides violence is often considered dangerously naive, if not outright treasonous. There’s a reason why we have a military budget higher than the next 9 countries combined, and why spending was at an all time high even under Biden. Yes, the ruling class is generally more warmongering and has to drag people along to a degree, but they are able to do so without too much trouble, and their propaganda is effective.

I guess my point is that it’s not so much a question of whether violence is an accepted tactic, which I think it always has been and probably always will be, but rather which conditions and targets are acceptable. If violence is seen as acceptable only under certain conditions, then once those conditions are eliminated people can turn to peace while having internally consistent beliefs. And should those conditions arise again, they can switch between war and peace as necessary.

Like, if innocent people are in danger and violence is the only means of protecting them, you don’t need to convince everyone, “violence is cool and good,” and then afterwards convince them that’s wrong. You just need to convince them, “using violence to protect the innocent is cool and good,” and they can keep believing that their whole lives.

I never advocate to not vote. I’m a heavy advocate for voting, but voting for the best candidate at every level no matter their party affiliation, including third parties. I’m just tired of “leftists” saying that our only options are voting and protests. Whenever someone brings up getting violent, they’re laughed at or told it’s not viable. That we shouldn’t murder Nazis, including politicians on all sides and cops/ICE, cause that’s bad. That if you’re going to attempt it, don’t link yourself to any leftist movement cause it’ll make us look bad.

I don’t think anyone thinks that. What people do think is that when you attack the form of a comment rather than its content, then you don’t really have a response. I strongly suggest you try to find an actual rebuttal to what I said rather than whatever the fuck this is. You might learn something in the process, which is something you seem to be in desperate need of.

Is the joke that bullies exist?
