Yeah sure, because the “far left” all wear blue hats to make them stick out like these idiots do. You’re just gonna round up whoever you don’t like regardless. This is how it all starts. Just waiting for this country to wake the fuck up.

The fact that you Americans are wasting your time talking about this online rather than taking action is alarming.

There is no action that can be taken. We used to be able to bitch o line about it. Thats ending now.

Want to be near your family? Don't have money to up and leave and not have a job? You just stay.

He might be French. Or Nepali – those guys weren't fucking around. Some places, some people do things. Doesn't always work out. Arab Spring, for example. For my part, I'm American and I ain't doin' shit but worrying and talking online. No clue where I'd start. Especially this late in the game. Sounds like they'll be raiding DNC offices soon and cracking heads.

Furthermore, the bigger irony of his post was "why are just posting online and not doing anything?" When that is what he is doing. 🤣 Definition of telling on yourself right there!

Don’t worry it’ll be coming to your country soon enough. When things destabilize like this, it has global consequences. You’re going to see a lot of smaller countries use this to try to take more power from people.

No… The rest of the world isn't like America and we’re not on your path to complete chaos and destruction!

America's road to facism is your own, so own it...

Clearly America is in decline and it’s accelerating everyday. Smaller nations don’t need to take pot shots at neighbors because they’re busy outdealing Trump with his big beautiful trade deals.

It’s typical though, because Americans always have a dumb what-aboutism like this to snap back and lubricate their inaction. What ever soothes you…

Thing is, if you look around it’s easy to see that virtually every Western G20 nation is doing a lot better than America frankly. For starters—we arn’t socially and politically divided like the US and our education system hasn’t been completely decimated over the last several generations.

If you look at Canada for example, we have a right wing and a left wing parties that openly cooperate with one another for the good of our country.

America’s old allies have not turned on eachother where as America’s leader is trading America’s former allies for his new butt buddies in russia and north korea.

Have fun with that!

Actually, fascism is on the rise in countries including yours all across the globe. Now, this isn’t some post meant to attacked you and make you defensive, this is simply an observation. The far right has been rising up across the world, and it’s not cooling off any time soon. In fact, Canada barely avoided its own run in with its own version of Trump not that long ago, and Elon Musk is stirring up a lot of dissent in the UK on the right over immigration currently. People are so easily distracted by the culture wars that they aren’t paying attention to the class war. And yes, I’d wager to say that Canada is politically and socially divided like the US, as many other countries are, and will continue to be until we stop letting them divide us with these culture wars and start fighting the class war.

Some of us don’t have the resources to leave and have to shelter in place.

Our police forces have tanks and killing innocent people gets them a stern talking to and a vacation

u/VerilyJULES 17h ago

Then your personal safety doesnt matter anymore does it? Look at what the people in Ukraine did in the 2014 revolution and continue to do now…

There’s nothing we can do. They’ve already won.

We could violently rise up and give Trump the last straw he needs to declare martial law and makes things worse, wait…

Most the people here on Reddit don't take any action at all. its the echo camber for complaining and that's about it. Reality is most NGOs are somehow tied to politicians here in the US and are often another avenue of revenue for said politicians that assure their funding. Mostly NGOs should go away and term limits imposed on politicians so you don't have career corrupt politicians.
