Think of a bully if someone stronger stands up to them they will run a way. I would like to see vets, blank panthers and others stand and protect the protesters. Having black panthers and vets unite for one common cause would send a powerful message.
60s was far worse. Entire parts of large cities burned to theground, mass murders at college campuses by National Guard, KKK very active in Mississipi …
Sure, if you don’t count the unrest in Iran, the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese genocide of the Uyghurs, the Israeli genocide in Gaza, etc etc etc
Then sure, the world is a rosy and wonderful place other than the US.
Didn’t say the world is a rosy and wonderful place. But unrest in Iran, Russian imperialism, Chinese suppression and Israel killing Palestinians has sadly been the status quo for the last few decades. I interpreted batshit crazy as very different than it was before. But you’re right, there is a lot more places where life has gotten harder.
If it makes it any better this has happened repeatedly historically. Though it only really works when the ones you’re protesting against are gormless cowards, so it should be rather effective.
Good. I’m willing to bet jackbooted thugs are less likely to shoot someone when there’s a visibly armed protestor nearby.

Not specifically for vets, but the Iron Front is very popular with a lot of the antifascist vets I know, including myself.

Edit - The Sons of Liberty are specifically a vet organization

Thanks for the link for iron front and the fact that they have Blue sky is better
You’re welcome!
I’m not sure if it’s crazier that statement was made or the fact that I read it and agreed with it before I even thought how crazy of a time this is.
1960’s all over again.
But probably worse.

The 20s are not over, and Donvict 2.0 is only at the one year mark.
Vietnamese and Cambodians are probably liking this decade a bit more.
I mean… They seem perfectly capable of fighting amongst themselves…
At least they aren’t super soldiers with ray guns
Hard agree on that front. The world is absolutely crazypants batshit right now.
A specific part more than others though
