ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    I still have hope that we will have a democracy in 4 years. We’ll see how it goes. It might be time to get a firearm and start putting in some range time.

      Also do these other things… Read a few books on guerrilla warfare and tactics.

      Learn to sew

      Learn to operate a radio

      Grow your own food

      Generate your own power

      Fascists government are going to target your comfort and communication in order to enforce compliance.

    I’m still feeling bitter and a fast food place last night asked me to tip, so it got me thinking that maybe this is the time to push out tipping culture. If the country wants the party of “fuck you, I got mine”, then fight your own battles for your wage.

    Legally, if they don’t make minimum wage through tips then the employer has to make up the difference (in practice this likely doesn’t happen). Maybe it will make them care more about the minimum wage if it affects them.

      instead i would say you could tip and hand out union material now that would really fuck the rulling class off.

      I can see where you’re coming from in theory, but if we rely on employers to treat employees fairly we’ll be waiting a long time (they’re already demonstrating that they would rather ignore the law and potentially face a minor fine, than pay the minimum wage), and the only ones who will suffer will be the sub-minimum wage employees who now aren’t getting that tip either.

      You make people care by building solidarity with them, not by using them as a bargaining chip.

      The cashier making MacMinimum Wage needs your political throttling ?

      They are your emotional pawn because you look down at them being poor ?

      What a great Democrat you turned out to be. You could run for president with that kind of attitude.

    We could have voted it away. And it would have been way easier than the alternatives. But we chose not to.

    But since we didn’t organize to vote it away, I’m not sure how we’re going to organize a general strike. And anything else is so difficult and so messy and has very little guarantee of improving anyone’s conditions.

      We could have voted it away.

      Lmfao, news flash: it’s already here, has been for a while.

      Never mind that never in history has tyranny ever been voted away. To think otherwise you must completely misunderstand what tyranny and fascism are, as well as how the current establishment functions.

        Vote it away. It’s been a joke for so long and people cling to the idea that it works so badly. I am Canadian. We are also past voting. The systems of government must be torn down. They are corrupt and do not work for the people.

          Hear hear…

          I’m in the UK and we have the same situation + monarchy, for added funsies. I keep thinking people are getting enough of a glimpse behind the curtain at the fact that the system wasn’t designed to serve them, but to centralise power in the hands of very few people who exploit the rest to continuously strengthen their own power, but part of those efforts are the propaganda, and it just goes to show how well it works that despite so much ugly truth being revealed over and over, some people still see “my team vs your team” as the only way to exist. It’s both sad and very scary.

      They used to own tons, but sadly since the boating mishap, they’re all at scattered at the bottom of a really deep lake.

      Who would have thought that bringing every single one of your legally purchased firearms onto a small boat to show them the world would be a bad idea?

      Oh well, no need to look for them.

          It’s just a joke about how people “don’t have any guns” because they lost them. Not stolen because they would have to report that. They’re somewhere unreachable that you technically COULD verify, but likely wouldn’t unless there’s a very specific (usually requiring a warrant to get people to move) reason.

          So “boating accident” is to goto joke accident. Nobody would actually believe you if you said that to a cop, judge, or courtroom.
