Bump because I have another use for this.
PD.com forums: a disorganized echo-chamber full of concordian, Greyfaced radical left-wing nutjobs who honestly believe they can take down imaginary Nazis by distributing flyers. They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

Quote from: Faust on November 27, 2024, 07:59:08 AMWhile I wouldn't trade Ireland for the US under any circumstances, Ireland is far from perfect, we have an awful housing shortage that started about 6 years ago and has gotten worse and worse, new home to buy costs are extortionate, and trying to find an over priced place to rent is incredibly difficult.
If you have someone to stay with you'll be fine, but you'll be facing a hard time trying to get anywhere otherwise.
Politically we are more stable, health care is cheaper than the USA but you still generally want to have insurance, there's plenty of work going round, but every country has its problems, just do your research is all I'm saying

1. How many votes did TSF lose over his own unconditional support for Israel?
2. In the end, what difference did the lose of those votes actually make?
1. looks like about 2 Million
2. It didn't make any difference, because Harris didn't have a better policy.

QuoteHey, d'ya want a laugh? Guess who started to come off anti-depressants after 50 glorious years on the day of the Presidential debate? My partner says she can tell I'm off them because I am getting increasingly snippy. I honestly can't think why . . .

"US Muslims Who Voted For Trump Now Upset With His Pro-Israel Cabinet"
"We are very disappointed. It seems like this administration has been packed entirely with neoconservatives and extremely pro-Israel, pro-war people."
I'm really tempted to make more fun of them for the choice they made. But, they were far from being the only group who made that exact same choice, and have already come to regret it.
Here's the link to this article: US Muslims Who Voted for TSF Now Upset
The Resistance 2.0 is going to have to make contact with, and enlist these people in our cause. And, I don't foresee it being very long before they're ready to disavow the "Dark Side." My hope is that the Democratic Party doesn't simply use them, and then abandon them again.
Of course it will, and it will do the same to you. If you think the Democrats are a resistance you aren't at all serious about resisting.
I agree with you, but I gotta ask: Who do you see as the most effective kernel of resistance?
mutual aid, localism, taking care of your neighbors and building in person connections. That absolutely can include local politicians, but anyone above a municipal or county level is too big to be worth considering.
So, "hunkering down and hoping you're not a target."
Along with work to help for when you inevitably become one

Has the term "resistance" undergone this much semantic drift? Not that surviving isn't a reasonable goal to have, mais ce n'est pas la résistance.
If your resistance doesn't include molotov cocktails, industrial sabotage, and the occasional drive-by egging, I think you're Doing it Wrong.
It's been eight years since Trump was elected the first time, and nothing anyone said or did in that interval stopped him from getting a second turn. But I guess you all just weren't pointing out the issues with his presidency hard enough. So let's all band together and talk about everything Trump is doing wrong, and how the people who voted for him were mistaken. That'll stop him.
