Or, hear me out here, because I know this is complicated:
Just don’t be a nazi
Easier said than done. Do you know how hard it was for me to not wear my emotional support red hat all morning?
Just like to shout out an extra FUCK YOU to everyone in their red maga hats today and forever.
Signed, a 49ers fan
The modern brand of Nazis don’t even dress snappily, that was their only real appeal.
Tfw I need to leave my job (of selling feet pics)
Good idea maybe the protesters should stop wearing masks to hide from being accountable for their illegal actions.
May I suggest reading a history book? “Lies My Teacher Told Me” is excellent. “A People’s History of the United States” is also great. Or, maybe you would like to understand how you’ve been manipulated. Well, cool, maybe “Manufacturing Consent.”
One of the significant contradictions of democracy in the US is that it was largely shaped by various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures. Such civil disobedience is retrospectively seen as justified, committed by people who are retrospectively seen as heroes. But each successive generation is demanded to believe that any further civil disobedience is unreasonable.
Just a small selection of a long history of US civil disobedience:
- Boston Tea Party
- Great Railroad Strike
- Haymarket affair
- Battle of Blair Mountain - largest armed insurrection in America since the Civil War
- Selma to Montgomery Marches
There is a lot we get to take for granted from our comfortable, privileged perches built with the blood and tears of those who would perform civil disobedience.
Say it louder for those in the back!
Protesting isn’t illegal, but y’all treating it like it is.
Throwing bricks, looting, and setting cars on fire is tho.
So is shooting non-combatant reporters doing their job. You get what you pay for.
Sure that officer should probably be fired.
You sure seem more concerned about isolated incidents than the blatant abuse of power.
B-b-but whatabout all the rich people’s stuff 👉👈 🥺? Someday, I could have all of that rich people stuff and that could be my stuff on fire and that would make me so sad!
The breakdown of the law is the breakdown of the law who cares who’s stuff it is. That’s also ignore the brick throwing (also known as assault with a deadly weapon)
You absolutely correct. Breakdown of the law has been a problem in the US since the hard bank right into fascism. But I am way less bothered by throwing bricks at the cosplaying nazis and way more bothered by the unitary executive bullshit. We should have a president, which should be a glorified administrator working for the legislature. Not a king that ignores the law. If we need to burn some of the oligarchy’s shit to remind the orange asshole of this, so be it.
The execute bullshit is a legal power granted to the president. The brick throwing is literally assault with a deadly weapon I don’t see how u can justify that. It doesn’t matter what u think the president should be it matters what the laws of the country state that the president is. What laws are being broken in the case of la (well except the rioters)?
The only people who have done anything illegal are the rioters. U might not like what trumps doing but it is entirely within the rule of law
Point of order:
“Illegal” isn’t always “immoral”. “Legal” isn’t always “moral”.
If one’s best defense is “it’s not technically illegal”, that’s a very weak spot to be in.
So ur advocating for breaking the law if u personally think the law is immortal?
Isn’t that exactly what the jan6 insurrectionists where doing?
Or are you the arbiter of morality and everyone else immoral?
Eat your cake or have it u can’t have both.
It’s 1950. A black man is sitting at an all white’s counter. Is what he’s doing wrong? You’re on the jury. Do you convict?
Dude, you’re a muppet if you think everything he has done is within the law. The only reason he is getting away with breaking the law is because the only check is the legislature’s power of impeachment and it has been captured by the fascists.
Related to la what has he done that’s illegal?
10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard In Federal Service
(3): […] Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the states
Trump specifically did not engage with Newsom in commandeering CA National Guard troops.
18 U.S. Code § 1385 - Use of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force as posse comitatus
Whoever, except in cases and under the circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Using the military for ICE enforcement is against the law.

Maybe a fucking insurrection on Jan 6?
Maybe raping fucking toddlers (Epstein files, which he’s starkly refused to release)?
Or, maybe ordering ICE to blockade traffic in order to deliberately incite chaos as an excuse to use the army.
That’s strange, how has he lost so many court cases then (overseen by judges he appointed)
We are talking about la here not his other activity.
What is your sentiments on the looting of the capital on January 6th then? By that logic they should all be in jail for life for such a substantial escalation relatively speaking.
That’s not a comparison you want made. Maybe life might be a bit harsh but they should all have gotten long sentences. Not to mention that the jan6 rioters where more peaceful than these rioters. Ohh and jan6 happened because trump didn’t/was blocked from calling in the national guard to protect the city. So ur right but this doesn’t help your case.
How many LAPD officers have been killed so far? Thought so. Peaceful my ass, give yer balls a tug there fella.
None thankfully. Probably because someone called in the national guard.
Trump wasn’t allowed to call the national guard because he wasn’t president anymore you moron.
Trump was acting president on January 6th. The event that the insurrectionists were there to stop was the ratification of the election naming Joe Biden as the President starting on January 20th.
Trump made the decision to not call in the National guard to help stop the insurrection which if carried out would have most likely left Trump in power.
Maybe the ICE officers should also stop wearing masks to hide from being accountable for their illegal actions.
Except their actions aren’t illegal. And what does accountable mean? Cos from what I’ve seen accountable means death threats to the individual and their families.
Extraordinary rendition is absolutely illegal, especially when it is done without due process and against a court’s order such as the case of Garcia or the dozens of other people flown to CECOT. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense. And I’m sorry to say, but as a federal law enforcement officer, they specifically chose to put themselves and their families on the line for their country. That’s why they are paid and trained and supplied with all manner of paramilitary equipment. What cowards to hide behind masks. They should be proud of the job they are doing and be recognized for it since it is totally within the confines of the law, right? And even more so, to hide behind their families’ “safety” as if that absolves them from their shit behavior. No masks for law enforcement. They are public servants and must follow the law.
Kinda like what the protesters deal with? Force needs to meets force with equal measures or it is overrun. You don’t deal with fascism by laying down and playing dead.
Not sure how u are comparing deportation to death threats? Are u advocating for literally fighting the federal government with force? Cos if so that is by definition a rebellion or at a minimum of an attempted rebellion. You do realise by saying this you have met the requirements for the president to call in the national guard without the governors approval.
“10 U.S.C. 12406,” within Title 10 of the U.S. Code on Armed Services. It allows the president to deploy federal troops in instances of “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” against the U.S. government.
U yourself just provided evidence to support the use of federal troops.
Is this rage bait? Has to be.
I too like to believe that people like this can’t be serious, keeps my outlook on life higher
