And his is the most public case. How do we know there aren't several more Kilmars in El Slavador now?

Seeing how this is all being covered is driving me insane. Just today I overheard a report that ICE arrest x amount of "very dangerous" illegal immigrants uncritically. How do I know they aren't just making all this shit up? How do I know that they aren't just a small percentage of the possibly thousands more innocent people that are being deported not just to El Salvador's mega prison, but to countries that they've never been to?

And what enrages me even more are the people that I know that could just as easily be swept away in this xenophobic campaign just because they look like the "illegals" that they say they are glad are being taken away. Like what the fuck is it going to take for people to wake up?

My fellow American is absolutely rabid and bloodthirsty when it comes to the subject of treatment of imprisoned people or perceived criminals. It's a widespread and fundamental sickness of the psyche, and I'm not sure exactly how to interact with people IRL about the subject. I think it was an important realization I had during the Bush II era, the extent to which my fellow Americans were okay with actual, real Nazi-level death squad shit and torture directed towards people who the perceived vaguely as bad.

Say what you will about the USSR. At least they had due process.

The bad guys have won.

But they can't win forever.

I kinda take solace in that.

well to take solace, being white wont protect you for forever during high fascism.

It is absolutely terrifying. But I know what you mean - this should be radicalising people but this, along with how difficult life is now (so many people struggling immensely just to stay afloat) people are just getting worn down and despairing. People in the US are also probably too scared to take to the streets in case this happens to them.

Has me thinking about how if i got abducted there would be 0 news coverage, maybe a few people asking where i went who ultimately have no reach and eventually fading away drowned out by all the immense chaos rn and whatever other social media celebrity trends rise up

Im sure there’s people already who’ve been abducted and aren’t known

Yea to me this should be a tipping point to radicalize people. But, of course, I have yet to meet anyone from my normie side of life (aka non-political) that actually is radicalized. I'm not even sure they know about it.

Then I think of how many fucked up things happened in the last 25 years that should've radicalized me and didnt. I think it's going to take alot more awareness to get people to the actual tipping point. And as fucked up as it is, Trump is doing a good job of accelerating us towards it. I think the establishment is conditioned to always normalize the fucked up shit the president does. Trump being mask off is putting cracks in the system.

This is just me rambling, but I think the only hope for a proletarian revolution is for Trump to be in power. The democrats in power could only lead to a fake revolution where it's just chuds with no class conscious who think the greatest threat to society is wokeism.

Only 12 of the people who were shipped off to the concentration camp had any serious offenses, and yeah they're likely lying about almost all of it.

Honestly we’re still a long way from libs fully waking up but ordinary people are at least starting to see things in a different light, from what I’ve seen and heard talking to people still in the states. I think people are just shocked right because this is all happening so quickly.

Same. Watching from my shitty apartment as the country collapses and turns to fascism, drinking too much every day, it must be a similar feeling to how russians felt watching their country get the shock doctrine treatment after the collapse of the USSR.

I think putin has been trying to engineer payback to America for that since then. And its working. Good for him, america deserves to feel at least some of the pain it has inflicted abroad. And putin and china being able to manipulate america because their education included marxist perspectives while american elites just fucking made up ideologies to justify their decadence is very satisfying. Marxism wins again.

Yeah, I feel it. I feel the exact same way. At the same time, as a trans person, I'm also scared and looking for a way out before they come for me. It's hard to tell what is overreacting and what is self preservation. I feel completely powerless

Just focus on what you can. Nothing is required. You are powerless alone. Keep caring like you do, continue helping how you can. No single one of us are required. All of us are required. If you feel you lack purpose, it means you're searching. That's good news. Patience. You'll know it when it comes. Sometimes just being there, living, is enough to inspire. Just breathe today, and it will come.

Liberals still sitting on their assess and "protesting" instead of rioting is just peak Germany vibes.

I found a reddit group about 30 minutes ago that posts about ICE raids and related stuff.

I could only look at it for five minutes.

It's self preservation on your part, and it's okay, don't be harsh on yourself, be kind.

You are a witness to all this as are we all. You didn't bring this or cause this, but you also couldn't have stopped it or altered it. It's a system much bigger than you and I.

Good and evil coexist in every human and therefore in all humanity. Good wouldn't exist if evil wouldn't, much like ying-yang or the duality of life.

But good always always prevails, because it is long sighted as opposed to evil which is short sighted & short lived.

The way I see it, the world needs a lot of good (climate change is coming), and it almost wouldn't happen without a substantial amount of evil first.

It's ok to need a break to regroup.

It's essential to come back from that break.

Things you can do when you are ready:

1 - Survive. Dead people don't help. Martyrs are rare, most become statistics. 2 - Establish a local community for support in case of an emergency. 3 - Prepare emergency water and food supplies. 4 - Gather first aid supplies and train with them. 5 - Consider getting classes with a concealable sidearm and getting your Conceal Carry License. Most likely you won't need it, but it's a security blanket that you might want someday. After you have trained and stored an ammo supply, consider a 12 gauge for home defense and an AR for mobilization/hunting. Then get an armored vest. Then train more and buy more ammo. 6 - When a populist economic message and charismatic candidate emerge to challenge the new status quo, compel your community to join the revolution.
