    Cool! Where’s the nearest militia I can sign up for? Do they have jets? Helicopters? Drones? Artillery? An organized command structure? Are they not already being monitored by FBI/NSA/DHS?

    Fuck off with this shit. You don’t just topple the world’s most militarized govt overnight. Knocking off Trump isn’t going to make it magically go away either. Getting past this is going to take a long fucking time. The first step is meeting people at protests and building solidarity.

      If only there was some middle ground between holding a sign and not bothering anyone and fight a full scale war against the US military

        A General Strike would be ideal but again, you don’t just make that happen overnight. Just showing up in large numbers at a protest shows that collective action is possible.

        Here’s a short blog about what Chicagoans are doing to resist ICE: https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-10-24-understand/

        People are doing more than protesting but that doesn’t mean you should mock the protestors. You’re going to want their help.
