Good lord

What does that mean ? “Just like we drew it up” ?

Good luck. I really hope that succeeds. With the size of California’s economy that would be a very successful country in its own right.

If you’re not bright enough to work it out yourself then I guess that’s not your fault, many of your countrymen seem to be, here’s a good thread

The big problem is that the amount of effort, and the numbers killed, will be much smaller if done before all democratic infrastructure has been destroyed. The flipside, as you rightly allude, is not enough people yet understand where this going, and thus action may be seen as too precipitate.

When everything has been burned down and it’s blatantly obvious how this goes it will be VERY hard to over throw it

Great post, very informative and well analysed. So what DO you think is possible to do for resistance ? If you don’t feel comfortable answering because of the surveillance I understand.

So basically you’re too lazy to do a bit of reading and make a plan ? You want someone to lay it out for you ?

Either take control of your life or don’t whine that “nobody told me” when you get sent to a camp.

Continuing to do what is proven not to work is insanity. “Maybe this time it will work”

I’m not am American, I’m not going to tell you what the right course of action is, nor am I about to do your planning for you.

Are you looking to change this or just to be able to say “well I tried” after putting in limited ineffectual effort ?

Be aware, all the passive political campaigners in Germany ended up in camps or shot. It’s not the “safe” option you seem to think it is

You need to look at what has successfully caused the overthrow of dictators over the centuries, consider what tools and options you have available to you and act accordingly.

Given Agent Orange is speed running through the Hitler playbook for removing democratic institutions I agree with the other poster, it is near enough certain that the mid terms won’t be free&fair. They will definitely be rigged.

Your chance of fixing this at the ballotbox is near enough zero. You need to look at what has worked (Maidan revolution for example) and what didn’t work (resistance in Germany to Hitler) then decide on what you can do.

If you elect to pin your hopes on a democratic resolution to a fascist dictator you will be disappointed.

America needs to party like its 1789

“Longer for other countries to see what’s going on” ?

The fuck dude, what exactly are you expecting us to do about it ? You guys elected him (well supposedly, I’m skeptical it was a fair election but anyway).

You seriously want the rest of the world to do a coup and topple your elected head of state ? Even assuming we collectively had the military heft to do so (we don’t) many Americans who would otherwise be against him would line up behind him (and rightly so)

YOU guys (USA) collectively created this, you need to find yourselves a solution. We can’t fix this for you.

If you look at Hitler’s first 3 months you should get a good idea what will work and what the consequences of leaving action too late will be.

Great advice.

Btw you don’t need -S to install a package, just

Works fine

Oh the n word will be making a comeback with the full hard R real soon now. Just you watch.

No one is suggesting it’s a good thing, but trying to make out a correction on the scope of the problem (UK vs a subset) is an attempt to justify it, is an emotional overreaction or an attempt to pick an argument where none exists. Cool your jets son.

There are 8 current dukedoms https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_dukedoms_in_the_United_Kingdom

And about 3 times that many historical dukedoms. So 2 of 8 is a small number 2 of 28 an even smaller number.

By eyeball the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancashire are less than 5% of the land mass of the United Kingdom and maybe 10% of the population tops, so “only” meaning a small portion would be fair.

Having said that, from context I think you’re inferring the wrong meaning of “only” - I would read that as singling out the two impacted areas (regardless of comparative size). In other words "of all the UK specifically (only) these two areas are affected.

I’m not OP so could be wrong of course. Often am.

Insert surprised pickachu face here

Well that’s out of character for Google

Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don’t have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you’re waiting ages for assistance.

It’s definitely an overall worse experience

Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it’s not good I’m afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.
