And the thing about General Strikes, and organizing, is that you can go national, or you can roll them; spread the pain out, to make it easier for everyday people to participate longer. I don't know that these capitalists, of this generation, are ready for the people to turn on them like this - they think you're stupid, and addicted to your lifestyle, atomized enough that this can't happen. So they never prepared for it.
And like, I get that you have doubts about how far this can go, how much it can actually accomplish. But what I'm going to ask you to do is think back at how many times Trump has backed down, or chickened out, and who it was that pressured him EFFECTIVELY to do so? It sure as shit ain't pinko dissidents like me. Nor is it the Democratic Party. But when he started fucking the CEOs, the phonecalls came in right? And he chickens out.
You are weaponizing the machine against itself. It's good.
The money side of the machine is built to be always moving. It doesn't handle shocks and disruptions well. The private sector has been playing politics at your expense, and has gifted you with a brutal fascist regime lead by an unhinged assclown Nazi (this is Stephen Miller) and a rapidly aging cult messiah figure for fascists. None of them are particularly innocent, at least at the corporate level. You can get to Trump, by hurting them, and they are indeed responsible for this.

Doing it in one moderately sized city, for one day, spooked a whole bunch of the capitalist class. If you can do that, for a little longer, everywhere, you can do a lot more than make the rich folks beg Trump to pull out of Minneapolis. That much I promise you.

It's hard to be happy, because we all just watched a man get executed by the state on film, for the high crime of trying to help one of his neighbors escape being attacked with chemical weapons by a nazi. That's a moment that deserves every bit of gravity your mind and heart are assigning it.
But in the moments in between, try not to forget what you saw out of Minneapolis and the effectiveness of a general strike. Everyone can do this, everywhere, if you organize well enough.

I mean you know the shit has hit the fan when FBI pigs who agreed to work under Kash Patel are resigning because "woah, too fascist muderbot for me."

I will eat my hat if Tim Walz deploys the National Guard to stop ICE. That is how not happening this is. So you should stop freaking out about it. Not that I'm sure I'm rooting AGAINST it, because, SOMETHING, doing SOMETHING Timmy, would be good. But it is not happening, so there is not gonna be a Civil War.
An uprising, or an insurgency, by the PEOPLE? Maybe. But Timmy Walz is not deploying the fake army against ICE.
Me? I literally told you they were all fascists and to overthrow your government before we got here. If you'd listened to me, that man would still be alive - but you folks are the knowers, the serious people, the smart ones who know so fucking much about fascism and how to stop it that you don't even have to study it.
I didn't kill this man. But I did kill a lot of Palestinian people to "stop fascism" that one time about 5 years ago. So I guess we're all murderers.
Naw man, all you "don't give them an excuse" folks got this man's death on your hands. He's out there doing EXACTLY what you told him to do, and now he's dead.
YOU don't feel a bit guilty about that? Of course not - Americans never do.
You will notice nobody got shot yesterday, when you were out in your masses, threatening to burn shit down.
I told you - your only safety is in numbers, and your only way out is shutting it down so hard NOTHING goes forward, including the fascist project.
If they can get you isolated, they mean to FUCKING KILL YOU. That's the score. Be fucking mad at me about it if you want but STOP DENYING REALITY or you will GET THE WRONG FUCKING ANSWER.
