            And then what? Shootouts when any cop tries to detain you? These torture houses aren’t the first stop after arrest. And people aren’t going to jump straight to lethal violence at a traffic stop.

              If that’s what it takes. It’s either that or allow them to continue torturing and oppressing American citizens. Do you really want that on your conscience?

                  That’s a cowardly comment if I’ve ever read one. You could have just shut up but had to show the world your a afraid to stand up for what’s right.

                    stand up for what’s right.

                    By shooting cops? Starting a revolution? Are you doing that? People love to call for violence on the web while sitting at home doing nothing. It’s hypocrisy plain and simple.

                    I’m not saying they shouldn’t do that. But every person saying “just go do X” while they themselves are too cowardly to be doing it first is pathetic. I’m not on here saying we should all violently overthrow the police state. Because I’m not out there.

                  You have been brainwashed as to how horrible a society can become, to the point you think an armed populace rebelling is impossible / impractical.

                  The more people start thinking like you do, the faster we move towards repeating that cycle of oppression the founding fathers attempted to break out of.

                OK. Goodluck with that. I don’t think it’s a sustainable solution right now. But you do you.

            Did they though? I don’t think so.

            The Vietnamese people made a good effort and successfully repelled the US military.

                Because we left. They were pretty weak until we left.

                Vietnam on the other hand maintained the ability to inflict major casualties throughout.

                I’m in agreement with you that poorly equipped groups can make an impact. I disagree that the goat herders in Afghanistan did.

                  Well, the reason the Vietnamese won was through mastery of the environment. They knew the jungles inside and out, and the American military didn’t.

                  We the People need to get to know our cities well because, if something like a revolution actually happens soon, that’s where most of the fucking fighting’s going to be. Plus, these are cops we’re dealing with. Setting up ambushes for them would be pretty easy. It’s open fighting during something like, say, a protest that the cops have always held the advantage of, simply because they were willing to use crowd control tactics and take advantage of the lay of the land while protesters were unwilling to.

                  So, know thy streets, to start.

          It’s not against the military. Nobody mention the army or marines you dummy. This is about the police. We can take those fuckers. Pigs don’t have artillery and air support.

                  I think these idiots are cops pretending to be ‘antifa’, to try and rile up folk into storming police stations.

                  Either that or kids.

                    I think it is a combination of bootlickers and a few cops. I don’t think it is to goad anyone into doing anything. They don’t want people to actually attack them. I think they are trying to get people to say certain things that would be criminal so they can arrest them before they attack.

                    So be careful with your words. Instead of saying “I am going to kill the baton rouge police chief,” say “I am going to effect change” or something along those lines.

                    At the same time watch for those that are trying to goad you into typing something they can take action on.

                    The hosts of fediverse instances DO NOT have the resources to fight government subpoenas over what you say.

          It’s not “the us military” that they are fighting. Also don’t say dumbshit stuff like that since if the “US Military” is bombing american cities your liberal drivel is irrelevant.

              The police departments that keep doing this shit.

              I actually am being kind of serious about this. The fact that cops are running fucking CIA-style black sites shows us that

              1. They’re escalating their oppressive garbage

              2. Some spook is showing them how


              And those alone are enough justification for physically throwing them the fuck out. Go read about the nasty shit the U.S. government did to Middle Eastern men it kidnapped in its war on terror in the 00’s. Their tactics are very similar to how this site and other torture mills U.S. cops have been caught running operate.

                I think there is some confusion. The context, as I understood it, was that “they” are conservatives and are not fighting the military. So I wanted to know who they were fighting.

                  It’s all good. Questions like yours are exactly why I came out and said what I said. We the people need to have this talk. We should have had it 20 years ago.

                  So I hereby claim specifically that We the People of the United States of America need to start physically overthrowing police departments we catch doing shit like this – and I mean the entire police department of whatever city or county it happens in – and either completely shut down the department or replace every single member wholesale. Physically throw them out; shoot them if necessary. Same with judges, attorneys or any other state actors who participated.

                  If we don’t we will subject the Zoomers and Alpha Genners to the same horrors we were forced to grow up in… allowing that to happen is in no way conscionable and if we let cops get away with shit like this, we will have no room to blame Boomers and their horrific abuses for the way the world is. The only ones we’ll have to blame at that point is us.

                    You need to stop talking about this and start doing it, otherwise it’s just more useless empty talk. Go get your mates and all your guns and evict some police departments and judges.

                    I look forward to hearing about you on international news, this is going to be huge!

                  They’ve proven time and time again they’re tyrants and are self-aware about it, and therefore need to be physically removed, but we both know you’re just here to forum slide and not to have an honest debate, so ignoring you now
