The Insurrection Act - guys in the USA: you've had it for so long just waiting for its dictator to use against you. What the hell, really?
It's like your every government and every president worked towards some Trump going mental.

The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act

An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't know or believe that Our Enemies in Blue can actually change in any meaningful way. Their institution is built on exploitation and slavery.

Hahaha, yeah, I love yours, mate!

That Italian warship turned out to be an obstacle, not a guard, unfortunately.

All eyes on Global Sumud Flotilla!

I don't compare genocides.
I simply meant the number of journalists killed.

Israeli (not "Netanyahu", sorry, but I can't allow to focus all the mayhem they do on only one person. He's top, but he's not the only guilty there.) are neither first or last silencers.
Agreed.
But they are the bloodiest.

I think that whatever strengthen our unity in resistance is good.
I just don't believe in socialism. From my personal experiences (I lived in a socialist country for more than decade) it's just another hierarchical structure which is as prone to promote psychos as this system.
