You can deplatform me or silence me or kill me and everyone like me, but China has had DECADES to perfect their oppression aparatus and they never knew true freedom. You cannot Trump a free people and expect compliance no matter how many cameras and liscence plate readers you build and no matter how many murdercops you hire ir machine guns you put in cities

The New International Order
So.
Putin won.
(waits for howls of objection and indignation and songs of the International, and Hope and Star Wars and Shit.)
Nothing is ever OVER, but Nov 6 2024 appears to be the most Agincourt event of my life time. Bigger than 9/11, bigger than the challenger exploding, bigger than Obamacare, bigger than a Black President...it will affect the lives of everyone in America whether they like it or not. Hell, it affects the definition of what America will be. It is the moment when we went from being a Republic to the Trumpian Dynasty. Whether that is a Dynasty of One or a malfunctioning inbred line of Ivanka / Donald force bred babies (Her body his choice....)
The point being, this isnt just AMERICA going away, but the very IDEA of America.
No one has tried an Athenian democracy since Athens for a reason. America is going to be the poster child of why the Republic is a shit idea. Oh I mean sure I can be wrong, but for purposes of this post, Putin got what he wanted.
The world is going to become a series of spheres of influence. Turning back the clock to the 19th century. Europe will become a power. BRICS is all about regional powers and spheres of influence. Indeed, South America would do well to start eyeing Brazil....or get nukes. India already controls the countries around it and China will without the US to protect its allies like South Korea. Japan may be a surprise contender.
Ironically, the one power that may fail in this world order is Russia; the Sick Man at the Table, America as it was is gone but it still has the largest military on the planet and a total collapse of the economy wont make that go away over night (But we'll discuss that in a new post). The important thing to understand about all of this is that fascist countries dont cooperate with each other unless its against a common enemy, and with the implosion of the United States (which will soon own Greenland btw since last I check Denmark doesnt have nukes), is that Climate cooperation is impossible. I mean they might want to; even try, Russia and China pay lip service to it and strategically do things to improve their image but since image doesnt matter any more and all truth is propoganda, then the cold war mentality that let China invest in EV's and moving away from Coal might not be there.
Which means we all die.
This event will hallmark the likely death of all life on Earth. Thank a Republican.

Passive Resistance - Dead Hippies (1 of 4)
Maybe my opinion of the Trump Regime are over blown (They're not) but maybe some things are just early...
Folks, after Stop Cop City, we know that the regime is in coordination with cops. Biden didnt really ever purge the DHS of the elements that lost evidenciary text messages or rounded up BLM Portland protesters in unmarked vans or threw out homeless people for a trump church bible opportunity...ALL of those people plus the insane CBP and INS agents who put kids in cages. The centrist corporate dems (who lost) are naval gazing and are like 'wE sHoUlD hAvE nAzIeD tHe BoRdEr HaRdEr'...seriously? All police unions endorsed Maga. If you see a cop, you know they likely voted Nazi or voted for a union that did...
So, you know the cops are nazis...and you know they've got cameras on their bodies and their cars and every business tied up to facial recognition software owned by Peter Thiel and that they own surplus former military equipment. In short, the police have become soldiers, and that makes the people the enemy. So you would think that the dems would realize they are about to live in an active police state and fight this, right? Not so much. You see the Party can't be wrong, and so the Party has to cooperate with their AIPAC masters and do what AIPAC wants, and since protest 'threatens israel' then protest is bad; all protest is bad. Dem Mayors and Dem policians are not your friend. Punching Hippies is what the dems do.
Anyway if you are going to protest anyway to be Brave, then here are some basic things to do.
Do everything on this list. With some exceptions. Don't 'check your phone settings'. If you can, get a burner flip phone instead of bringing your regular phone. If you must bring your regular phone, get a Faraday Cage bag. And don't just assume it works; physically try calling your phone while its in the bag. Sting Ray can ping your phone and see where you are at all times. And that's old tech. The NRO Spy Satelite Guy is all making nice with a nazi. This is another interesting list but especially this part.
Don't shake hands, hug, share drinks or engage in long face-to-face conversations.
Stay vigilant - while you may have every intention to demonstrate peacefully, realize that protests have the potential to become unsafe quickly.
Document injuries with photos and note the time and location.
When protesting in an area in an occupied Nazi state, monitored and responding to militarized nazi police, be aware that the entirity of the government is against you, and that the rights that you thought you had are effectively gone. I can conceive of many outcomes of what I might do, maybe Switzerland will say I suck and toss me out and let the Mrs Stay after 3 months, but I will not be joining the protesters despite the admiration I have at their courage. Because the Leader has encouraged their deaths. Don't believe Maga lies about anything, especially about how conservatives love free speech and protest. They consider Jan 6th a 'peaceful protest.' Now the Leader is going to pardon them, which means even if you protest before Jan 20th, the murder police know they can shoot you and get away with it.
Non violent protest is to be admired and has done a lot of good throughout the world, but know what you are getting into under the regime. The rules have changed. Going out and banging pots and pans unless it is part of a mass general strike is a good way to get shot. Tactics would be wise to change.

How to Run
Disclaimer: It is my natural instinct to fight evil. I want to. I mean I REALLY want to, but I have someone I love and that I want to protect. Thankfully, I dont have children in this new Nazi world, but Jesus Boy Howdy, the United States of Nazi America is going to become a dumpster fire that will bring the entire global economy to a grinding halt, but the pograms and nazi shit going to be going on here is going to get SO. MUCH. WORSE. before it gets better that getting the hell out of dodge is going to be a lot better than pretending I am some kind of courageous person.
First, where are you gonna go? If you are famous and a dem, you can go anywhere you like because you can get political asylum. For the rest of us, you are not going to be able to claim that very easily unless you are Trans because most countries won't consider you persecuted until there are actual camps and actual liberals and minorities and LGB are being murdered. You need another way.
First off all, the easy button is to go to a country that actually wants you. And be glad, because any smart country doesnt want shit hole nazi Americans crawling around the country if they can avoid it, but fortunately for now, most of these countries havent seen the handwriting on the wall and closed their doors to rapey fucking nazi Americans.
Second, if you are trying to go to a country that hasn't opened its doors, consider starting a business. Most people dont have several tens of thousands of dollars sitting around to do this, but
Read through and commentary on: 20 Reasons Why Fascism May Not Succeed in the United States: Some Perspectives.
I saw this article and thought I'd do a read along since I found the title fascinating, will be commenting as I read
Intro
Article starts out strong setting up rules
"Not going to blame anyone" nope, that's stupid. Biden is to blame, as are High Road Dimocraps. Not a good start PitsburghLiberal
"Second, we must acknowledge that there are significant portions of American society that are not hyper-radicalized fascists, yet do not understand the danger of fascism in the way that we understand it." On this, we are totally agreed. Whole lotta stupid people out there.
The Reasons
"The United States is much more racially/ethnically diverse than was Germany, making the isolation and persecution of minorities more challenging." Hard disagree on this one, Racist Latino Males are now a thing and a number of Black and Asian males are joining the Nazi train. Diversity is not a defense against Fascism.
"Major civil liberties are codified in the Bill of Rights, supported by centuries of case law.". Medium disagree. This matters for the military which Trump will need the coorpation of, but since his election was legitimate (at least the Biden and Harris surrender machine certainly leant that) he can replace any officer that doesnt obey immediately, so while he can't go to Phase 3 right away, he will get there in time.
"The Federal system greatly increases the likelihood of institutionalized resistance at the state level and allows for the creation of practical, alternative paths forward.". Agree and Disagree. On paper, this is a hard agree, the system as designed has incredible defense mechanisms. Oto, the President has the trifecta and total immunity and is insane, so this isnt the shield you think it is.
"Unlike Germany, Italy, Russia, or Hungary, the United States has a well established democratic tradition." Disagree. A tradition only matters as much as the next generation picks it up, and a lot of racist nazi Gen Z males bought into the Nazi Gravy. This DOES mean that unlike those other places, when resistance picks up steam it will be hot and heavy and much more violent than in places without it. But oops, US Military and FBI will crush with extreme prejudice.
"The United States has living, credible former presidents and senior leaders. Individually and collectively, they have considerable experience, talent, and communication skills.". BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA Oh my sweet summer child. Their eloquence won't matter if they are in camps. Unless they flee, and they are all to arrogant to do so, they wont be a voice of a government in exile. And their words wont matter to Nazis.
"We have a large, well-organized, and well-financed opposition." Hard Agree. BUT, the FBI, IRS, CIA etc are exceptional at tearing apart the financila structure of enemies of the state and once we go to Phase 2, these instruments will tear #Resistance to shreds unless they take time to harden it....see above to notice the disconnect from reality and hubris.
"Other major democracies are our allies; the revanchism and irredentist motivations present in Weimar Germany are not present here." BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH Except for facepalms and shocked pikachu faces our "allies" will be working with the Regime not against hoping to keep that money flowing and that military on standby against Russia. And that wont go well for them.
"Modern technology makes it easier to capture and share abuses of power." Yes and no. Yes, we will have the most documented genocide in history, but the PREVIOUS most documented genocide in history; was covered up and countered by a sophisticated multistate multiinsttuion and multi party aparatus. Gaza has shown us that this aparatus can and will be used to suppress an American resistance movement.
"Trump is old, stupid, and in severe cognitive decline." Total, 100 PERCENT agree with this one. This is our greatest hope right now. He is stupider by orders of magnitude than homelander.
"Demographically, the US is becoming less white and less religious" Reference Racist Latino Males. Diversity will not save us from fascism.
"Trump’s policies will be economically ruinous for people and companies alike". If the Leader didnt control ALL levels of power, have the trifecta and the media machine he does, I might agree. He does and there will never be another free election in this country.
"We have experience with Trump and the authoritarian playbook". They LITERALLY GAVE us the playbook in Project 2025 and Nazi America voted for him anyway. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
"Many major, and popular, celebrities oppose Trump, and jailing or murdering them would be politically untenable" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA This is the dumbest thing I have heard anyone say in a long time. Reference Nazi Germany.
"Trump personally has no ambitions beyond himself; he’s not an ideologue or a self-styled “thinker”". This is stupid. He is surrounded by those who are; and while there will be some fight for which voice he listens to, there are plenty whispering in his ear.
"The GOP often devolves into disorganization and infighting." Hard Agree. If Vance kills or 25th Trump, then he cannot hold the American Nazi Party together and they will fight like the Rat Nazis they are.
"Even though the media has largely failed to rise to the occasion, there are many serious journalists in this country.". This is true. Then again, the Hindenburg had plenty of media coverage.
"If Trump dies or is incapacitated, his successor is unlikely to have the same cachet and party support." Hard Agree and our best hope.
"The military is largely independent and apolitical at the command level, and the rank and file is often nonwhite." For now. For now. Not for long. Also reference Racist Latino Males and Nazi African American Males.
"We are facing neither a credible external or internal threat for fascists to use as a foil.". They have big if warped imaginations. There will always be an other and they will make up one from whole cloth if need be.
"The writings of the founding fathers and our national heroes are at direct odds with Trump;" Truth didnt matter to the nazis that voted him in, why in the name of all that is fucking holy would you expect it to matter now
Analysis
What a fucking waste of time that was. If Trump dies, the regime implodes. Thats it. And thats not much to hope for. Make your plans now, while you can.

New Dynamic W the Dems
The argument that horrific things will happen if I dont vote blue is now a failed one. It is costing me and mine too much; including family ties. Here.
