How about a non-military coup while the military is otherwise occupied? I have yet to see how ICE performs when faced with anything other than clergy, frogs, nurses, and high schoolers, but I have seen a lot of them eject their clip, drop their guns, and cram themselves into Temu tactical vests with all the breathing room of a corset.

“When you’re a warhawk, they let you do it. You can do anything. Shoot ‘em in the face.”

They don’t care that they look cruel, cruelty is the point. They gassed an inflatable frog, choked out high schoolers, dog-piled Captain America, shot clergy, and show zero restraint around children and the elderly. Even before Trump they have savaged POC, women, LGBTQ, and teenagers with mohawks. Shame requires both a sense of right and wrong as well as some sort of consequence to make it work. Cops have been given carte blanche to be violent, and even if they do it for pleasure rather than the state will have their actions publicly defended by the state, and their moral compass is “might is right”.

No matter how one dresses or what actions they engage in during a protest, the new definition of terrorism is defying and disagreeing with the regime. Had the defendants all dressed like clowns the prosecution would have made the case that dressing like a clown is terrorism.

If Chili’s actually gave a shit about “personal values” they wouldn’t be able to hire cooks. Some might pass a drug test because they’re on supervision, but not a single one is going to pass a morality screening.

Speaking out does nothing because the people in power have called our bluff. They know that no matter what they do, how many laws they break, how many lies they tell, how many elections they cheat, the only backlash will be words. There’s no reason to stop what they are doing because there’s no teeth in the opposition, only tongues. They risk nothing and gain everything. American educational indoctrination’s greatest win was convincing people that resistance had to be peaceful to be just. The Founding Fathers tried words for about a decade before recognizing “words ain’t doing shit”. DM me when you all realize we’ve hit “words ain’t doing shit”.

“It’s cool babe, I stole a serving glove from the BBQ. Might have a little burger grease on it.”

Low and zero gravity can affect how roots spread/dig and later can cause issues with how water and nutrients circulate through the stalk since they evolved to circulate with Earth level gravity. Space station experiments have proven it’s not impossible, the plants can adapt, they’re just a bit different. Trees would probably struggle, most crops would be fine. What’s really difficult is pollination. You’d probably have to hand pollinate, set up a wind system in your greenhouse, or get self-pollinaters. Bees would struggle to adapt because low gravity would mess with their flight, their dance communication, and probably their honeycomb structure and larval development.

We’re at a point where his loyalists will abide the darkest depths of perversion so long as their side is “winning”. If 9/11 happened today they’d pick apart the social media accounts of the victims so they could delight in all the libs who died and raise their own to martyrs. Instead of giving up their rights to Homeland Security in the name of “safety” they’ll hand them over willingly in the hopes it hurts everyone else more than it does them.

The only ones I’ll accept that excuse from.

Keep your puppies inside for the next few days, she’s gonna be looking to redirect her rage.

Anyone? The military and police dogs didn’t sign-up for the shit they’re trained to do, but they’re in inescapable shit nonetheless. Never met a fascist dog, though I’ve met a few that were anarchists and one that was a Trotskyist.

Billionaire sex predators are out of reach for most Americans to take direct action against. Display boards with inaccurate historical information and statues dedicated to the shitbags of history are easy to vandalize. Confederates have been crying about that second part for decades. And I’d imagine a fair amount of Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway signs already have bullet holes in them. It won’t thwart what they’re trying to do but you fight the battle by whatever means you have available.

I am no expert in theology either but I am a comic book/sci fi/fantasy nerd. The source material for any good work of fiction is just that; source material. Later authors can use it as a frame work for their version but frequently retcon any inconsistencies with the original. Think of Trumpageddon like A New Hope: Special Edition. Instead of God shooting first now Donnie does.

There’s enough distrust and conspiracy theorist in me to question if the whole thing isn’t a good cop/bad cop publicity stunt to attract “conscientious” consumers.

“Hey all you anti-authoritarian, anti-AI, anti-surveillance types, we’re your friend; we’re the un-AI. Now be good idiots and plot your dissent on our service.”
