I know pigs are pigs the world around, but how much of scumbags are Canadian ICE or whatever y'all call them? I'm not rich, I'm too ugly to have a Canadian sugar daddy and I don't have a valuable enough skillset to be considered a prime candidate for immigration, so the chances of me going through the proper channels are about as slim as a garter snake. That said, I got a feeling being undocumented in Canada is lightyears ahead of being a natural-born citizen of your swiftly deteriorating neighbor to the south.

Official Staff Communication
The news today is extremely abhorrent, and many people are furious over the reversal of Roe v. Wade. All of us on staff are feeling similarly - defeated, angry, frustrated - we understand. But we cannot allow for calls to violence here. We will not host that content and anyone doing it will catch a ban. Similarly, dismissive calls to "just move" that downplay the reality of many people's situations will also be moderated.

I don't see the issue with this, no glowie shit and let people vent is a fair way to go about things

[Propagandhim]

Agree.  Resetera should allow them to be as concrete as possible about their plans with details, times, and an effort to organize others

...for venting purposes.

If protests turn violent and something happens to him, he only has himself to blame for taking people's rights away.

Protesting needs to turn to rioting. Abortion and gay marriage are overwhelmingly popular. This shit bag is using the court to push his own agenda on to the American populace. Fuck peace, time has come for violence

Really kinda doubt the Supreme Court Justice is the one who would get hurt if "protests turn violent" or to "rioting", do they think he lives there?

Unspoken in all of these is the idea that Thomas being murdered for views he's had for 30 years (that no other Justice has signed onto) would change at least two of the Court's other five conservative votes.

"he only has himself to blame for taking people's rights away" sounds pretty alt-right to me.

The results of a local criminal trial are not binding on that court or any other that also features a future case, each case is an individual one with an individual set of facts. Happy to help.

The state fighting a successful prosecution of Rittenhouse to the highest level of appeal would have been hilarious though. Not for him or any of the many minorities who would suffer in the mean time under such a regime, but for me and others who love a shitshow obviously.

I agree with this. Part of the problem is finding people to run though.

I've been told throughout my life, at least when I became slightly more socially aware, that I should run for local office. But then I come to Era and see that "progressive candidates are unelectable."

So why the fuck should I waste my time?

There's plenty of good folks out there who know their communities, know the problems, and have the heart, but there's no systems, coaching, or apparatus to get these people in seats of power. In fact, the larger majority seems to fundamentally disagree with these people's ideas and vision and are actively hostile towards them.

So, what do we do about that?

Further down she admitted she couldn't be elected in Atlanta which implies that when she said other people were to blame for telling her "progressives can't get elected" she actually just meant to blame herself for telling herself this perhaps accurately.

She also said that's not how she wants to spend her life. Which is hilarious to then be bitching and blaming the candidates who are willing to run. Especially coming from someone who constantly tries to frame themselves as an activist who is going to abolish the police in Atlanta and then lead Black people to understand praxis.

I got a call from my leasing office saying that a package of mine was yeeted onto the ground in front of the hub. Not secured into the lockers but put on the ground in a central location with a ton of traffic.

This is a giant word salad to try to disguise that you're mad people here won't make calls for violence and get themselves banned. You're really enjoying the finger wagging, hypocritical as it is. If threatening violence is so important for you to see on this forum, do it yourself and eat the ban yourself.

User Banned (Permanent): Advocating violence across a series of posts, ignoring the staff post, previous severe ban for the same

What's hypocritical about it? I listed out three options for everyone here. Fight, get out, or sit on your ass. I chose the second since 2016 and worked my ass to make it a reality. The admin is more than welcome to ban me for my "extremism", I've been quite vocal about revolutionary change that require the blood and death of innocents amidst our current political apathy, because that's how progress has worked 100% time through human history; and we sure are not at an enlightened point to play civility with America being prime example. I've made these calls many times in the past. I just, y'know, focused on my actual real life to do something about it instead of wasting energy accruing Internet points on here hence my lack of post count despite my little "been here since Oct 2017" tag.

Edit: I'll even quote my "extremism" from before that still applies even today.

The US isn't like most countries. The vast majority of its citizens trace ancestry to ancestors leaving their ancestral homes across oceans to arrive here; sometimes for leisure and opportunity, other times in flight of their ancestral homes. My ancestors came to this country fleeing from the effects of WW2, were they supposed to stand and fight and most likely die? Even in a non-wartime scenario were people seeking opportunity not supposed to leave their ancestral homes?

Atop that, just look at American history. This entire country is built off the blood, sweat, tears, and corpses of minorities and what have they gained from it? Just because a number of you have some misguided notion of "American nationalism" doesn't do away with the actual history and reality of this country.

Progress does not happen without blood and death.

people who spout this rhetoric are so willfully uninformed it's ridiculous

you point to other events and times and say, "well what about this time, a decent president got elected and he passed some really good reforms that amounted to some significant progress, and it all happened relatively peacefully through the normal electoral processes"

and they say "NO there were people who DIED at protests and DIED under the old systems he reformed, which was necessary to promote his rise to power!!"

and it's like oh ok, so that was just minor amounts of death here and there to highlight a problem, not actual violent revolution, so really you're advocating that we keep carrying on as we always have with a few outlier deaths here and there

I can not say everything I want to say without getting banned. As many, I knew and feared it wouldn’t stop with Roe v Wade, and as a poc with a kid and seeing the landscape this country seems to be headed in—hell, the regression I see the world over—fear does not even begin to cover it at this point.

I’ll do my part, but damn do I hope it actually amounts to something so the rights of all minorities aren’t stripped away, systematically, one by one.
