This comment section is yet another shining example of how one troll can derail an entire post.

No one was quoted in the article as saying that this would stop Trump. Are you saying it's a bad thing that a community is standing up against this injury to the working class?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The MN 15 are starting their hearings soon. The person sentenced to 30yrs for moving zines is not from Minnesota, but their appeal will likely take a while before it's reversed for being an obvious violation of the first amendment

Sorry, replied to wrong comment

I'm telling you it will do nothing, if anything they'll just join the prison population, stop deflecting from the ineffectiveness of your little demonstrations, the french rioted for months when they raised the pension age limit by 5 years, Americans literally have there rights dismantled and all they can muster up is a few weeks of civil protest. You people are not strong.

"You people are not strong," says the bootlicking coward.

Ok, so what? The alternative is to accept that quietly. Would that be better?

A troll I can believe, but I have a hard time believing that they're a paid propagandist. Lemmy is small enough that I doubt they're a government actor. Fedjacketing without evidence is bad too

Fair point. It’s just hard to think anything else when they jam politics into literally every comment. Point taken though, thanks.

You really can't conceptualize how weak a population can be in the face of real violence, can you. There is plenty of evidence both historiclly and online of this, willful ignorance is a blindfolded not a shield.

Homie, I was in the thick of it. I saw the violence. I also saw thousands of people standing up, and thousands more stand up after it was a proveable threat to the lives of white citizens for doing so.

Wow your really having a cuntniption fit over me calling you out huh. (copy and paste)

Reread my comment, if you people want to slowly get shipped off to prison one by one, be my guest. but your efforts will amount to nothing if the persons with actually power don't care about what you have to say, your a gaggle of arragent ostriches that think they're too good to pull their head out of the sand. I think you know damn well what I'm suggesting to you really but we all know you'd never go that far.
rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 36d
What I'm gathering is that it's pointless to act unless you always win. I can tell you with absolute certainty that action is always better than inaction. They already want to ship us all off to concentration camps, so any resistance is better than falling in line.
Smaile@lemmy.ca · -6 pts · 36d
If the effects of your protest amount to nothing, your already in line. You need to go further or nothing will ever happen, athoritarian/fascists have never given up power without the courcion of violence also being applyied, this is a fact. I don't even see you people vandalizing there assets, and you think I'll believe your actually doing anything?
rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 36d
Please tell me, one of the activists that was a part of the Minneapolis anti-ICE movement and an experienced union organizer, more about how not falling in line is actually falling in line.
AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 36d
Protest and get called weak, do nothing and get called weak. Somehow I think no matter what these people did you were going to call them weak.

If you don't want to read the rest of the chain, just say that

Well yah, and let this guy leave lies about me everywhere, you'd cover yourself to wouldn't you?

Giving up is sure to work.
Smaile@lemmy.ca · -3 pts · 36d
So is geting locked away for your life over nothing man, just pointing out that Donald and his buddys don't seem all that affected. And I'm not say do nothing either, I'm ssy that you need to be harsher on there asset books rather then just protesting.

You write "overthrown" so mildly.
Smaile@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 36d
True, overthrowing is often the case but sometime coercion is all it took in some places.
