This seems dependant on location to me. In a region I lived before it would be rare that someone would talk to me in public like at the store, now where I’m at it happens all the time, people seem much more social in general. I used to be sort of confused when it did happen, now I’m used to it and it feels like a nice human moment when it does usually.

It’s not just tankies, everyone hates Gavin Newsom, he sucks, if he is picked as a nominee it’s further proof the democratic establishment hates their base and is throwing the election again. Bluesky is very liberal and not tankie basically at all and even the comments there are nearly entirely shitting on him for his terrible positions and unlikability. https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3metxjlxwec2d

Putin bots made Newsom a terrible piece of shit?

Nazis weren’t able to fly easily over the ocean during WW2. You wouldn’t be able to reach Holocaust numbers with a plane, but I think “deporting” people but dumping them into the ocean could be possible and seems easy to hide.

People will see your comment and think “hey that sounds like my city”, but you could say this about basically every major city in the US.

Immigrants are dying and being abused in camps, and being shot and beaten when apprehened, which is why people are filming them, Ranee Good and Alex Pretti weren’t obstructing or creating an aggressive situation, and anyone who suggests they were can go fuck themselves to hell.

I was actually surprised to see a lot of comments on r/conservative talking about how the stuff the feds are saying about the second amendment is wrong and unconstitutional, and a good number saying that the killing wasn’t necessary, they’ll ultimately support Trump and ICE over any kind of progressive though but it was interesting. Even the NRA posted about how Pretti was a legal gun owner and there should be an investigation before people jump to conclusions.

The 8 year Border Patrol veteran who shot him seemed to see the gun and unholstered his own, then the moment Alex’s gun was taken away he started shooting. It’s like he saw the justification and realized he could execute him and waited to be safe, at no point is the main murderer in any danger or engaged directly with Alex, he was watching from above until he started shooting.

It’s different when they are actively murdering us. This is an urgent crisis, imagine a violent gang was roaming and blatantly murdering people and abducting children in a city and the government called them heroes? And a decent amount of the local police are friends with that gang. Courts and trials are important also but we need to use whatever means we have to prevent or slow the killing if we have the ability to.

Unless those on the attacking side (MAGA) decide they don’t want to murder more of us, I’m not sure we can. The first civil war was incredibly bloody and tensions between the sides never settled down fully. We are in this situation partly because there is no way to have a compromise with people that believe some of our society’s members aren’t human. The white supremacist view of slave owners and supporters of slavery never went away, it needs to be cut out from the root.

If you were truly helpful you’d say something helpful instead of whatever stupid bullshit you commented. Why not comment a suggestion of a better plan then?

We’ve had dozens of martyrs already, people are dying we don’t even know about.

You’re not wrong, but this particular motherfucker has worked for Border Patrol for 8 years. I see a lot of people talking about untrained, inexperienced thugs, and they are, but this is what they do with training and experience.

If I was the one murdered and could be aware of this, I would be massively thankful that at least this moment was caught so clearly, that I didn’t die alone, that maybe it won’t be for nothing and people will see this and have a fire ignited within them to continue the fight.

So many people have been killed just like this before that we never saw and will never know about. The murderer has worked for Border Patrol for 8 years. I would be completely unsurprised to learn he had already murdered others.

Even on Reddit these days I see a lot of “we need to arm up, power to the people!” type posts, you can say it.

We just call them nazis because it’s shorter and there aren’t many original nazis left, the nazis at the time never called themselved that anyway, it’s always been a colloquialism. Though it would be more accurate to call the modern Republicans Neo-Nazis or at least in general fascists. They have taken over the US government and are attempting to start numerous wars which could potentially be seen as a precursor to WW3.

I’m gonna start bringing a portable clothes iron around to get out the creases from activist flags, it’s not a huge deal but it just always irks me a little. Their image would be even more impressive with a nice creaseless flag.

I saw a flag seller in 2020 with a pole flying Trump, Biden, Jolly Roger, USSR, Bass Pro Shop, Weimar Germany, My Little Pony, ACAB, they are the true centrists of our time.

There was wide variation in the methods of redactions, you could do that for some and other tricks to unredact other pages, but most of the redactions weren’t visible, and even the blacked-out pages they did release were only something like 1% of the total files.
