        Yes, but all the people who could and should have prevented this did nothing. What would you suggest a normal person do?

          There are a lot of illegal things you can do, and a lot of things republican supporters openly do that involve violence. I’m not going to openly implicate myself but use your imagination.

            There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there’s a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.

            We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.

              Unionization en mass and a general strike are just simply not realistic goals in the current political and social climate in the US. And that half assed attempt at organization at that level is now going to get my country invaded.

                You know what else didn’t seem like reasonable goals in the current political climate? Dissolving USDA and global boycotts, resulting in absolutely tanking Tesla stock. Things change.

                Organizing can make the change necessary to overcome usamerican fascism. Giving up and relying on the status quo will allow your “democracy” to die in silence.

    The more I look into Greenland situation the more I am thinking there’s already a psychological campaign in play to get them to be part of the US. They’re legitimately trying to get away for the Danish government and there’s a strong US presence there already with military bases. I suspect the target is to get them to hand over the keys not only willingly but ask for it.

    Dumbass doesn’t even understand that NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact and that Denmark is a member. Not wanting to give you their territory doesn’t count as an attack.

    Also if he really cared about security he would have strengthened his ties with his allies instead of pushing them away. The US is far less secure now that it was 3 months ago.

      NATO isn’t really defensive.

      It’s two main Engagements - Kosovo and Afghanistan - were pretty solidly offensive imo.

      Can we stop these kinds of comments? It’s exactly what MAGA will use to rile up violence against Canada. Who doesn’t like a fun plumber video game but we’re better off encouraging and helping Americans to organise.
