The protest movement in the United States is growing, but so is the global authoritarian playbook it’s up against.

          interesting context about the scottish guy

          i was injured in peaceful activist efforts i took part in 2016-2022, wasn’t able to get real treatment in my region, tried to flee the country during Biden years, failed, now i am watching the thing i fled take shape while i try and get back on my feet with an old “war wound”

          so i’m spent, i was in the movement that got abandoned 👍

          the USA is doomed to a fascist imperial collapse and non-violent mass protest is not going to change that

            Cool. If you’re not gonna participate in the change, then sit down and STFU.

                “So I’m spent”

                All I hear from people like you is “violence is necessary” but none of you have the balls to punch nazis or shoot at cops. Step up or shut up.

                  do you understand the difference between an injured person who is forced to live under fascism during wartime verses a guerilla or are you just a complete and utter fuckwad troll

                    Be injured. But stop trying to incite violence that you’re not willing to participate in.

        After taking a second look at his comments and some of the weird phrases he used in his DMs to me, that guy is 100% not an American
