note: video is sped up by 1.3 to post. Original is 1’17" and can be found here:
Everyone who has a gun and open carry laws should be coming to their protest visibly armed.
And stand in the front.
Mutually-assured destruction is the only path forward.
“You dig,” Yep and carry on Black Panthers.
Black Panthers owe those lukewarm libs who did absolutely nothing for them ever nothing.
Much love to my ML comrades in the BPP. Will be interesting to see if the YLO, AIM, or other groups from the Rainbow Coalition experience a similar revival or are simply reincarnated in spiritual successor groups. Either way, now’s the time.
That 1.3x playback speed is a disservice
Zoomers gotta go fast!
All power to the mother fucking people!
Democracy is the government of the people for the people by the people. But the people are retarded.
Funny. This kind of counter protest suggestion usually gets downvoted on Lemmy. Good change.
Counter protest?
Opposition to counter protests
So… a protest.
No…? I guess you’re dumb on purpose here. So i’ll leave it here.
I didn’t understand what you meant, but at least now I know either you’re an asshole or you like saying things you don’t understand.
Either way, definitely worth a block.
I can tell that you don’t understand. Thats why i called you dumb on purpose, as i don’t see how you could misunderstand.
You need guns at a protest to stifle the counter protestors that also have guns. There you go.
I wonder what ratio of protesters + guns is enough to deter ICE.
Like if there was only 1 person there with a semi automatic shotgun, how much more likely are they to attempt something illegal than if there was 20.
If that ratio could be figured out, then it’d be easier to coordinate and ensure enough armed people are everywhere.
They will come for their leadership just like they did in the 60’s. I hope they are prepared.
RIP Chairman Hampton.
This is how civil war starts and how fascism will be defeated.
The way ICEtapo operates right now doesn’t leave them much room for escalation, they’re already cranked fascism up to eleven. They will come for everyone sooner or later unless stopped. There is still hope that it can be done legislatively, but I don’t have a lot of faith in Americans anymore.
You can’t actually believe that though? 11 would be ICE shooting protesters on sight. Not much room for escalation? What are you talking about?
They already kind of doing almost that. The step above would be actual drive by shooting, and the final step is full on dystopia with torment nexus and all. There is room for escalation, sure, but once your government backed paramilitary group starts disregarding laws, there is not a lot of that room left
Guy never heard of tanks and APC and thinks LRAD is something from computer games.
They don’t need to with those pussies not even putting up a fight.
Embarrassing
This is fascism at an 8. You wanna see fascism at 11, ask anyone from South Africa what that really looks like. Do you know what a hippo is?
Once paramilitary organisation is given full permission to do whatever they want regardless of the law, that’s kind of it, really. Do they throw people into hippo dens, throw them out of helicopters, put them into gas chambers, or just shoot in the face, are gruesome details for future historians and hopefuly-not-so-future-judges to study.
Faith in US sheep?
All they do is bleat.
Wow… This is the first time I actually smiled from the news since 2025
Ay yo, I’m proud of my fellow Philadelphians ✊️
I’m kinda scared tho, so I’m just hiding, sorry… (I’m foreign-born)
Go Birds! Fuck Ice! Free Palistine! Dickhead!
Lots of angry white dudes in and around Philly though. They hate their city and the people in it.
Philly in the state known as Pennsyltucky, where historically, they had the biggest KKK organization in America.
Philly is extremely diverse, with black folk in all levels of politics. Police still wear crosses. But Philly also has a lot of punk and fuck you energy.
I hung out with a guy online from Philly for a couple years. He was blue collar, laid tile. Union. Brother was a police officer. Other brother was military stationed in Japan. Father also in the union.
He was edgy at first, but became a lot more willing to show his true colors. After a while, it became evident that while he would never admit to being MAGA, he would repeat MAGA talking points all the time. Eventually we got into it and stopped hanging out.
He only had bad things to say about POC and Philly. Talked about the fentanyl issue, would clench his teeth talking about POC, had a pistol and would go for it every time he saw someone suspicious on his home camera when it was just someone walking by or parking their car. Absolutely unhinged. His family reinforced his beliefs, and they were even more racist than he was.
Anyway, my anecdote is just to say that these blue collar guys from the burbs of major cities are dangerous, hateful, and often violent people. They blame minorities for everything wrong with the city.
They still say go birds tho, always common ground
I’m not American, but as an outsider this is what I feel the second amendment was really for ✊
It literally specifies in our constitution that we have the second amendment to protect ourselves from our own tyrannical government. This type of thing is exactly what it’s for.
The Declaration Of Independence has entered the chat.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
Jefferson: “This government will become corrupt and need to be overthrown as well, but hopefully it will hold up for, oh, 250 years or so.”
Why does this guy kind of resemble Luigi Mangione?
Is this reality so broken that the simulation is starting to reuse assets?
20th century was the century of the moustache.
21st century is the century of the eyebrows.
(And that’s plural, Brezhnev.)
21st century is the century of the eyebrows.
Finally it’s my time to shine!
(And that’s plural, Brezhnev.)
Aw crap…
I’m so happy to see them out. Pigs ain’t gonna fuck with a crowd of dudes with automatic shotguns
SDS reformed about 20 years ago, so maybe we can do some real Rainbow Coalition again.
