    Oh. Yeah. Someone should probably tell them that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t care about civilian casualties. In fact, they might even be more likely to attack those targets, knowing civilians will be there.

          Among other things: the global perception of the US sunk to unprecedented lows, below even China. The US’s most steadfast allies have all rejected requests for support. This is a different world now and it’s uncertain whether the US can regain its prior standing.

                Given the previous demonstrations, albeit too far and few in between, the numbers participating have increased each time.

                I personally am cynical with the current show so far, but I remain hopeful that critical mass will be achieved. Agent Orangutan must be stopped.

      Sure but there’s so many far easier things. Buy spray paint and go out at night and write some thoughts on the walls. Do easy things that are a little bit out of your comfort zone.

      There’s no way the US is going into france protest mode over a president, it has been proven. Trump could kill half the country and the other half would go to work.

      Organize committees in work places and represent as labor. Don’t wait for the union leaders who stifle the power of labor for their own gain any chance they get. The working class needs to take this into our own hands as a class…not as individuals.

        Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?

        In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.

      no but it helps the regime, by martyring them, and turning the public from other countries against israel and trump MORE. in the DS9 show, the CHangeling female, dominion proposed a plan to use meatshields, by placing cardassian citizens in around military compounds, power stations,etc. in order to turn the public against the rebels.

          The “protests” that Trump accidentally leaked were started by armed agents of the US and Israel?

          The “protests” that Trump explicitly stated he sent arms to?

          The “protests” wherein armed militias attacked IRGC police, civilians, and in one instance a power station?

          Those “protests?”

                I phoned a friend on this one. Showed him this comment thread. Who is Iranian currently in Germany watching bombs go off in his hometown of Tabriz. He replies:

                "No man those protests started in the bazar of iran

                That’s exactly what islamic regime is claiming and killed civilians based on this

                They say protesters were agents of mossad etc

                This artice and what trump was saying is about later anfter what happened on those days

                On 8 and 9th January there were nationwide protests in which thousands of people were killed on the streets by the government we don’t have a number but it varies between 6000- 40000 thousands people based on different sources in those protests people were not armed at all"

            Those people are showing up because they are afraid of their own government. I know I’m right. A mom does not show up with her kids as a human shield willingly.

            If the iranian regime gave a single fuck about their people they would urge women and children to seek shelter.

        These are Israel IDF talking points, the same IDF that ended up doing genocide in gaza. The enemy is both defeated and also so strong it can mobilize thousands of civilians against their will. And after showing fake concern for those “human shields” they exterminate them.
