Minneapolis residents demand ICE leave after fatal shooting of legal observer. Lemkin Institute calls agents loyal to Nazis. DHS blocks investigation, Trump admin pushes false narrative. Senate Dems refuse to fund DHS. Will America stand up to fascist leaders or face greater atrocities? #ICEout #JusticeForPretti
A peaceful solution through a general strike is still possible, but probably not for much longer.
Prove me wrong, but I doubt it. There are significant capitalist-endemic issues and a pervasive laissez-faire attitude that I think inhibits it.
ICE mafia, this administration, all of the GOP, majority of Dems, billionaires, etc…until they legitimately fear for their life each and every day they wake up - each and every moment they make a decision - things will not change. They need to fear going the way of the UHC guy every moment of every day, or things will stay the same.
History provides many examples of peoples who have shaken off oppression largely without resorting to violence: one of the most prominent examples is India, which freed itself from brutal British oppression largely through mass civil resistance - and this was a colonial regime of violence that the British had established there.
What I mean, however, is that there is currently only comparatively mild repression in the US, but that will change, which the regime is obviously working on.
In short: now or never, seems to me to be the motto. Now would also be the right time in terms of public sentiment, because people are angry.
Nevertheless, I cannot say how likely it is that US citizens will use the time they have left – probably not very likely, but it is certainly possible.

I would be happy and glad to be proven wrong.
