  • Having that soil requires land, which a ton of people don’t have, or access to a social safety net which what little of it exists is actively being gutted. Where I live cars can legally run over any protestor in the road with no repercussions and the cops and legal system would cheer for them to do it. These are all differences vs the articles you linked previously. Resisting before we are organized right now is literally suicide, and even once organized many will still die (though it will likely be worth it at that point)

    I share your anger, genuinely, but this is some pretty extreme victim blaming. This is unfortunately not the first or the last fascist regime the world has seen. Do you blame the Jews for “letting” Hitler kill them in camps, or the Chinese for “letting” themselves be run over by tanks? There absolutely are people to blame here and you are right to be livid with them but the remaining non-propgandized leftists in the states are just not it.

    You are asking the remaining people who share your anger in the us to literally commit suicide by cop (or angry mob or life as a slave in private prison), which is just not helpful.


  • The big assumption here is that the website had time or money invested in it. I feel like the vast majority of websites these days are just ai garbage with enough ads to prevent you from even reading the thing and give your computer herpies as a bonus. The era of good faith advertising where the ads were reasonable and balanced with the quality of content is long gone. Most sites are now explicitly designed for exploitive data harvesting and endless ad delivery.

    Of course, some websites are exceptions to this and adblock can easily be toggled off for those websites if you really want to support them. Taking off protections for a trusted partner though is quite different from raw dogging the whole internet
