@retech
> Standing in the streets does nothing to hurt them.No, wrong — and dangerously wrong. Visible opposition is what made the MSP invasion a failure for them. The murders, the kidnapping, horrible video after horrible video have direly eroded the popular support they need to consolidate power. Until they reach North Korea / Iran levels of total control over all the workings of society, an authoritarian does still need support. And the Trump regime has substantially less now than they did when the invasion started.

@inthehands as in the news yesterday that they are sneakily opening ICE offices all around the country. Going into more a stealthier mode.
@firefly @inthehands Fortunately they are completely unable to do anything in a stealthy way ...

@solitha @inthehands @solitha @inthehands I have not disagreed with that at all. I've only said these are all components.
Dismissing or ignoring the fact that they have a $45 billion budget for the centers is naive. They will buy them, if not one location than another. Everyone has a price. And businesses have little, if any morality. What I am saying is that we need to understand and work at this on ALL fronts. When folks pat themselves on the back over the very visible acts they, most often, dismiss or completely ignore the other areas. The budget approval, the purchases, the more nefarious tactics are huge problems and I would argue far more destructive than the sporadic instances of them backing down.
I will die on the hill that cutting them to the quick by canceling their streams of revenue is a very effective and more powerful tactic than any other. I wish people would even take a page from their play book and max out their personal debt en masse and file for bankruptcy. I know that's a controversial one, but crashing their system would be incredibly effective.
The EU is going to do that soonish. The move to consolidate and do things like dump VISA and MC will be extremely damaging. That is an effective means to stop this. We're not in a democracy any longer. We're in a capitalist oligarchy. We need to fight accordingly.
@retech Okay, maybe you lost track here a little.
I want to give you a moment to read the words you wrote, which @inthehands quoted, and then read how I used those same words in my post.
You've engaged in "moving the goalpost", although I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that this was not your intent.

@inthehands If they follow proj 2025 (which they have been), those camps are soon to be filling up with LGBTQ and people with "mental" problems. They've stuck to that document since day one of this admin and been successfully following it, these are the next steps.
Not enough resistance for them to slow down.
And, frankly, the resistance needs to be more diverse. Everyone needs to cancel all their subscriptions, move off of their media (meta, xitter, linkedin, google, etc.) and do everything they can to take away the revenue streams of those who built this fascist empire. Any support for one of them is a vote for their policies. Standing in the streets does nothing to hurt them. It does however hurt all the local businesses. And, I suspect, that is exactly what they want.

Please do not waste your time listening to, reading, or analyzing what Tom Homan actually said this morning. That man is full of shit, everything that comes out of his mouth it shit, and you don’t need to eat it.
I hope ICE and CBP actually leave soon. I’ll believe it when they do. They’re still out there right now. They’re still horrible. They’re still destroying lives •this morning•.

@Npars01 They should be given a choice. Hand over your money or into the wood chipper. If you don't cause trouble you can go in head first.
The Moneyed don't fear death.
They fear losing power, status, wealth, & control.
They fear the loss of being able impose misery, suffering, famine, desperation & poverty in others.
For the Epstein Class, it's entertainment for them.
