    I haven’t seen any of that personally. As someone in the United States, I loudly condemn this as much as anyone in the rest of the world. And that’s generally been what I’ve seen from those I know are in the United States, or are around me. But again, that’s just your personal experience versus mine. And might speak more to the places we frequent than the actual sentiments of those being discussed.

    Organization takes time. It’s barely been 24 hours for most people. And sadly far too many are so far out of any information stream on current events. There will be organization. But sadly I don’t think this will be the thing for a mass awakening. And seeing how much the US is starting to emulate the vanguard parties at home. Targeting and crushing dissent. (Fuck bourgeoisie vanguard parties) I’m doing what I can to organize and educate those around me. This being a red state, we at least have lots of weapons laying around for when the time comes. But for many of the ignorant yokles here it’s likely gonna require some personal impact to them.

      This is one incident. I’m speaking since a year ago. Yes organization takes time. Meanwhile, leftist orgs are about to be criminalized. Time to get it together is one thing; reticence is another. Finding the balance is crucial and imminent.

        It’s been softly illegal/taboo for generations. The more they codify and expand it. The more our ranks effectively swell.

        Americans are as unexceptional as any other human being. But these fascists have forgotten/disregarded the lessons of the past. So I have some hope of action in this next year. Sadly only once his policies and neglect start impacting them personally. There’s plenty on the horizon that should cause lots of suffering here. I don’t think the year will end without significant domestic violence one way or another. Though I pray it’s successfully against the state.
