    My parents keep insisting these people are good and if the government cracked down on them then it would be "authoritarianism" and "bad" because "freedum"

      "Authoritarianism" is when stop people from actively killing people going about their lives.

      in a vague sense it would be authoritarian. I just happen to think an authoritarian act saving lives is, in fact, good.

        I mean, seat belt mandates could be considered "authoritarian" -- and they're completely necessary and good

        now if only the freedumb anti-mask crowd would turn their ire onto seat belts

    Ah okay. The accusations of protestors burning down homes and neighborhoods were just projection.

    Holy shit, being a rightoid is the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.

    I know Marx SPECIFICALLY said to do the exact opposite of this, but when we're fighting for specific policies, I deadass believe we should disguise ourselves as hogs to make it palatable to the average joe.

    Something something different material conditions.

      Sometimes when we do public events, we'll bring out an American flag and the Red flag and put them together. It tends to bring a lot more positive interactions with the broader public when they see you're not some kind of terminally online left-wing crank talking about destroying America with fire and brimstone and deporting all the crackers to europe.

      Even more folks tend to be interested learning about the Leninist position of who the American government works for and why it should be abolished and replaced with a genuinely democratic people's government. Turns out touching grass and trying to behave like a normal person does wonders lmao

          Jimmy, Bullworth Academy takes savage little children like you and turns them into model citizens! (Reference to the video game "Bully" where the protagonist gets sent to a school filled with the most psychotic normal by today's standards lol Americans straight from a stereotype 70s high school set.)

        "I LOVE working, but since those liberal coastal elites don't give a damn about the American dream, they'd rather hire as little as possible and milk the few employees they have like cows!"

        "If those liberal elites like taxes so much, let's stop trying to save the elites from themselves and let them get taxed already and us all-Americans can see a cut in OUR taxes for a change! They'll learn!"

    Ottawans need a people's defense committee to address the risk posed by the truck fascists. They need to arm themselves and if necessary defend themselves and their loved ones from fascist street violence. God knows the police force will never defend city dwellers, esp people of color

      the police will be among the truck fascists, or at least buying them drinks later

      Canada only tanks perceived leftists. If you haven't read up on the October/FLQ Crisis and Trudeaus (OG) response to it, it's very interesting.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Crisis

      Essentially enacted the war measures act and enacted martial law partially for Ottawa and completely for Montreal. There was an active terrorist threat that did kidnap politicians, but the response was to round up every slightly leftist person in Montreal and detain them without evidence or trail.
