Empathy as a weapon.
Thank you! Denial will get us killed!

*not just women

Technically correct, but it applies to people, not just men. Also, people can be turned into fascists, because they can have their sadism and their emotions hijacked. Exhibit A: ICE.

Do you think they didn’t try? They just got shot.

"What do you think a revolution is?"

You need at least half the army on your side first. Ain’t happening otherwise.

The guns would stop. They would shoot the front line, rinse repeat. It’s not like one million people can be on the front line all at once. Besides there is no way to organize this without getting purged first.

"Where the Iranians failed is not trying to overthrow their regime."

What!?

Forget the politicians. Even with the best of intentions and maximal competence, the fascists are going to keep ignoring the politicians for 271 days and then after the midterm elections, it will be TOO LATE. It is THAT SIMPLE.
February 4, 2026 at 2:18 PM
That had to be done before they started murdering people in the streets. It would just turn into an Iran situation now.

Where is the army!!

For the love of god. You need a different tack. What you’ve been doing right now is not working.
February 4, 2026 at 1:25 AM
No shit, ace! Are you just realizing this now?

Ketamine for me please!

I’m laughing at "it’s time". Ya think? It was time ten years ago.
February 4, 2026 at 12:38 AM
Yes! I am so glad to see more of us are waking up! We CAN do this! It CAN be done! We have 272 days left!
February 4, 2026 at 12:27 AM
Agreed! Just a distraction. The fascists are trying to keep us scared and confused until the midterms, when they are going to post their thugs at the voting booths under the pretext of stopping illegal immigrants from voting, then they will not allow neutral observers. It’s that simple!
February 4, 2026 at 12:25 AM
Thank you! And yes a slim chance is better than no chance at all!
February 4, 2026 at 12:14 AM
well i mean THERE IS a reason the fascists are winning.
February 3, 2026 at 11:42 PM
If the fascists win, it will be because the antifacists are EVEN DUMBER.
February 3, 2026 at 11:33 PM
The Democrats should be screaming for the army to take over voting security! The politicians cannot do anything at this point.

"Love "Empathy as a weapon.""
The sociopaths are using the sadists to scare the compassionate into fascism. But the sociopaths don’t understand empathy, because they don’t have any. This is why empathy must be our weapon. We give ground where they are strong, we attack where they are confused.
