What in the name of shit is going on over there? Are you guys ok? Jesus christ, most of the stuff I read today was out of a nightmare, I hope you guys make it out ok.

No, we're not ok. We've fucked ourselves and are offering up the weakest to appease the billionaires.

I live in Minnesota and I've never seen a map app report "snow" or "ice" in the winter, and I've also never heard of ICE doing checkpoints on roads, so I suspect this isn't actually a thing.

isn't actually a thing.

... yet, here we are. :-\

we are not ok. millions are waking up to realize the “rights” are of course only a pretend promise and “might makes right” anyway. they are starting in the “convenient” states with “strong” gun laws. you won’t see this major action in open carry states with good castle doctrine.

we are in full blown fascist mode, with an initial focus on the “others” while corporations do what they always do: try to get a bead on the most profitable path forward. as they always do. any feedback from the working class public (protest, etc) is gaslit by the admin into a manufactured consent against the very working class itself.

do not come here. if you are here stay safe. please. if you leave, take me with you.

If you're pitching Y'all Qaeda, moar gunz and open carry, I'm gonna need to level with you: there's gonna be very, VERY few other countries that will be a good fit.

It's been 30+ years since I even cared to carry a weapon, and that just for infantry where you sometimes need it for work. "I should get a gun" hasn't been a thought in my head until very occasionally in the last 6 months. And even that was followed by "nah. I'll get a rock. They'll bring me a gun".

If you can leave, blending into your new country will require adjustment.

not pitching that at all. i am saying in context with how the gov operates in the US they won’t “risk” the projectile feedback that may happen if they do major ice work in those states. heck cops won’t even stop a school shooting in tx because they are scared.

i’m a legally licensed owner and a leftist. i’d happily sell the few range plinkers i have and move if i could find a tech job. plus i always have “these guns” 💪💪

Check out Alt National Park Service on FB and elsewhere.

They are doing a good job of spelling it out for everyone

warning you of an immigration checkpoint.

Why is America starting to sound like the West Bank?

[–] Killer_Tree@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Because hatred, ignorance, and bigotry (Power) are more popular than love, science, and inclusion (Community). It sucks.

That's inconsiderate. What is there's a snow storm on LA on June? We would not know! F snowflakes
