@lowqualityfacts More accurate than you might think: the church in question has to be the Church of Mammon, where money is worshipped.

@JackMexa4 @DeliaChristina @DrALJONES Some rope will help with that.

@wdlindsy Classic use of traitors to do white power's dirty work.

@jalefkowit Once again, a lesson on why none of us should have Google accounts at all

@JazzyKindaFella @politics @law @womensvoices @democracy Repost to places the IOC will have trouble dealing with. A server almost anywhere in the Middle East excluding US allies would probably tell the IOC where to stuff their copyright complaint due to Isra-Hell being this issue.

This is also grounds to boycott Olympic sponsors and advertisers

@Jim @georgetakei Not mine, I don't want it chewed off no matter how much he is paying

@igd_news Great to see these kids take down this filthy MAGAt after he assaulted one of them. I hope he got a concussion

@djg @MaryAustinBooks How about Ivermectin and bleach? They come highly recommended by his master Donald Trump...

@alissaazar What happens when the wind changes and the gas blows into say, a Christian nationalist church event or a politician's $10,000 a plate dinner funded by a developer?

@alissaazar All that gas makes it look like fucking WWI.

@alissaazar Looks like the mace didn't keep him from getting a bloody face. I guess he wants more?

@jonah Part of the problem is not having the Second Amendment to make the government think twice about rounding people up for "porn violations" by VPN.

Here most of the South has age verification laws and is thus blocked, but VPN bans are going nowhere and no proposal has included individual criminalization to my knowledge.

Also note that Tor is a real bear for ISPs or governments to block. Even China's Great Firewall can only stop some Tor traffic, some of the time.

@julieofthespirits How about all those ICE bastards get hard labor for life, with 100% of their wages used to pay these reparations.

@theorangetheme @lawyersgunsnmoney @augieray @darwinwoodka That would have been a great idea. Also handle the slaveowners the same way Haiti did

@violetmadder @rpin42 @augieray The only possible answer is "Arrgh-let them come!"

@rpin42 @augieray THAT is something almost opposite my own beliefs-and my own experience. I believe that the more shit you take, the more shit you get. Appeasement and surrender are the road to slavery.

Nazi Germany was defeated on the battlefield, I am convinced stopping them by any other means was impossible.

To reject the right of people and nations threatened by Adolf Hitler to resist by armed force is to demand that they submit to the Holocaust. I believe nobody can ever be obligated to that.

@grumpydad @augieray I've said this many times but will now expand on it: you cannot lie down in front of a column of Nazi panzers and expect them to so much as slow down unless the driver in the lead tank himself both dislikes Hitler and is willing to risk his neck to do something about it.

@augieray @rpin42 Note that a lot of armed insurgencies occur as the fallback after a nonviolent protest movement is defeated by armed force.

Example: Iran going hot and heavy after security forces machinegun protesters.

The statistic that armed movements are less successful confuses correlation with causality. The armed movements of the world face a preselected subset of governments that have already committed themselves to defying people's demands whatever it takes. These regimes are much tougher nuts to crack so success rates will be lower.

Toughest of all is a long, bogged-down civil war of attrition that may be won by whichever side is best able to recruit fighters faster than the other side can kill, disable, or capture them. At least in those the government's own atrocities tend to boost recruiting for resistance forces.

That is referred to in one of the Hunger Games movies, where insurgents filming random battlefield footage for a propaganda film accidently catch the napalm bombing of a hospital full of wounded fighters, then shoot down two of the bombers and get that on video too. The resulting video gives the insurgents a huge boost, though the movie overcredits the effect of any one propaganda piece.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @augieray @darwinwoodka They didn't use enough rope after WWII.

@bweller @augieray @Finitum @darwinwoodka Some of the direct action should go there too. Don't forget their yachts and golf clubs too.

That's a big part of how animal rights activists sank that puppy-killing vivisector Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). It's also how Atlas was forced off Atlanta's Cop City project.
