Bin Laden set out to destroy America and he did. The terrorists have won the war on terror.

Oh, the guy who did it denied doing it. And never mind that he later bragged about it.

There's overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack. The only unknown (at least to the public) is how much Saudi government (versus loose-cannon individual) involvement there was. And it's worth keeping in mind that the Saudi government is run like a poorly-organized family business, where the right hand seldom knows what the left hand is doing (though this is changing since MBS runs a tighter but far more oppressive ship).

That’s funny. I’ve been defining the FBI and the current administration as embodying “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”

Weird, right?

You monster! That body is the property of Christian fascism now.

Clearly! Hopefully you'll be driven away!

To Canada, Portugal, or maybe Malta. Which apparently all have very strong protections for transgender folks. Malta apparently combines that with no murders of trans persons from 2008-2022.

(Stay safe please)

Unfortunately, a lot of places are...

Safety and survival are the top priorities, so the furthest from "actually trying to kill you" is ideal IMO. But getting to another country is easier said than done, so its get going to where you can be as safe as you can. If that's Portugal, do it. If its a blue city in a blue state, do that. If its surviving on a homestead and avoiding all contact possible... Thats still an option.

One of my friends is planning to go to Toronto for an "extended work trip" her boss is arranging.

I really fucking hate this stupid timeline.

Is there any hope that this designation makes it easier for trans Americans to apply for asylum in other countries? I'd love to see Canada step up and welcome trans refugees. We do have our problems though: politics is lurching to the right and the fascist sharks are circling. I worry for my trans friends here too. But we're mostly not at MAGA levels of insanity, and I hope what we see in the USA shocks Canada out of our drift towards it.

I hope they do make it easier for trans Americans to get in!

With any luck, what's happening here right now will be a big enough warning for your fellow Canadians...

6

I hope Canadian rights campaign groups start to push for the government to recognize that trans people are not safe in the USA and deserve the chance of asylum here.

Interesting. Malta being a very Catholic country, I would not have guessed it being ahead. It is tiny, though, and there isn't much employment. But a really lovely little rock. English speaking and with fantastic history. Yes, I may have considered moving there once.

Gender identity is constitutionally protected there! I wouldn't have guessed it either, I found out about it when I was researching options on places to move.

That's the point.

If you can push a minority group into desperation, then you get to play the moral high ground when they act out of desperation. It's not a new trick by any means.

92

It’s been Israel’s playbook against Palestine for a very, very long time.

43

Nah, even if the minority group doesn't do anything, "yes they are. They're being evil and doing evil things just over there where you're not looking, and that's why bad things are happening to you. The only way to stop them is to give me power."

and then they’ll parallel push for removal of passports for these groups. then they’ll push to make passports required for voting….

fucking nazis. all of them.

51

And if you don't have a passport they'll arrest you and send you to a camp for undocumented people. If you try to escape they'll arrest you and send you to a camp. The only way through is active, organized resistance and defense in large numbers.

14

They want you to be able to show a birth certificate with a matching name as your id which actually rules out many trans people and the majority of married women.

1

That's the label they use for mass shooters when they can't be racially blamed in case you didn't know. White school shooters are NVEs. They are trying to legitimize the "trans people are school shooters" absurdity they have created out of thin air by making a syllogism - and being able to treat them as terrorists in the process. Which in US law basically means you have no rights

42

So if trans people become members of the satanic temple, then would they still be nihilists?

Dear trans comrades from the US, arm yourselves and organize if you have the means to. I'd say get out of there but that's probably much more difficult. 😔

25

My dearest friends, I second this.

Exercise your second amendment rights. Be prepared.

And in every way possible; please protect yourselves.

Everything goes according to putin's plan. Electing incompetent nazi cunts will weaken us.

24

that's ICE.

The FBI is more akin to the Schutzstaffel (SS).

they go around "investigating" crimes against the führer and against the party.

12
Typhoonreply
lemmy.ca

Yes.

They already built the camps, and are building more. You didn't think they were all for "immigrants" did you? ICE has a yearly budget of about 37 billion dollars. There's no way they would need that much funding if they were only deporting people in the country illegally. This has always been about persecuting minorities.

First they came for the illegal immigrants.

Then they came for the trans community.

They've already started canceling anyone speaking out against them and will target their political opponents. We're well into the Nazi consolidation of power phase of the takeover.

13

That is messed up. These guys have just given up on humanity and just want to punch down. Fucked.

19

Trans friends, this is the time to consider doing what you need to to protect yourselves. I would be looking at what it takes to emigrate somewhere safer.

18

It is time for us all to step the fuck up and protect trans people, ESPECIALLY if you yourself aren't trans.

It's also the time for allies to step up and organize. This is everyone's battle for rights and trans people can't be left to fight it on their own.

17

Organizing is the biggest issue, IMO. I don't have much experience with humanity in person. I was raised in a isolated rural territory, and don't have enough money to explore third spaces for likeminded folks about the situation. Figuring out HOW to network is a huge issue if you aren't connected enough to society.

What churches align with justice? Which coffee shops embrace freedom? Among the militias, whom among them are antifa?

While I am practicing a firearm with the expectation of someday serving as a ReUnion soldier against the NeoConfederates, I don't know how to bridge the gap between being an lone individual and part of a Rainbow Panther militia.

4

OR Americans can decide to protect fellow Americans who are simply existing which YOUR government has decided is a crime.

Because it's already started. First the immigrants, now the transgenders, and soon depending on who or what you are you'll eventually be next.

Because make no mistake unless you're a right wing white straight christian male in the 1% they WILL eventually come for you.

3

Honestly, the FBI has been doing brainworms shit for decades. This is way worse now obviously but lets not retcon the former legitimacy of the FBI. It is NOT there to keep us safe and it never has been. The FBI always has been a tool of oppression for the rightwing.

How can nihilistic people also be steeped in a "trans ideology" that they want to force on everyone?

Nazis aren't big on verbal accuracy or logical consistency. They are big on keeping everyone arguing while they ramp up the machinery for disappearing people.

To bad they aren't a legitimate organization.

The moment they start door kicking in gunland is when their fantasy falls apart.

2

How many times have lone Americans fought back against cops and won? The only way to put a brake on this is a massive movement of active solidarity with trans people. Anyone who considers themselves a trans ally (anyone with a heart) needs to make contact with others and organize to support and defend the trans community. Make it difficult for them to turn this nonsense into anything but words on paper. Fund legal and medical aid for trans people. Be ready to obstruct the Gestapo together when the time comes. If you don't, and try to lay low, the Nazis are still coming for you soon enough.

Projection, in the Western-psychology sense:

The Republicans-enforcing-fascist-police-state are exactly what they're designating trans-people.

Gaslighting's greatest-example yet, apparently

( Homer Simpson meme: "greatest-example so far .. " ) :


I hope I don't have to live in this world too much longer:

humankind's making its collective-ego's myth-fantasies actualize, is very very bad, when humankind's ego is toddler-pubescent, without any understanding of accountability or consequences..

The problem is that MY soul/continuum indulged in this-incarnation, therefore MY soul/continuum doesn't understand this kind of experiencing enough to have the responsibility/intelligence to avoid it.

Unfortunately, that means the only means of preventing further re-incarnation-into-this-kind-of-braindead-shitfest is to endure as much of it as possible, making that soul/continuum have some experience-induced-understanding.

Humbug on reincarnation's rules: humbug on experience-being-required-for-competence..

( I'm only making this explicit, so that others who have no encountering of AwakeSoulism/Buddhism's "the nature of existence in universe, is suffering" can begin understanding what perspective that Buddha/AwakeSoul Gautama was speaking from.

Ditch the "me" from the above, & see the principle of it!

that principle makes much of reality clearer: unconscious-souls get caught in lives in-which they suffer, because unconscious-souls don't accept accountability or responsibility, & they just do any random thing, because they want to.

Experienced/conscious souls avoid doing that, & get caught in more sane, more advantageous lives/incarnations, simply because they know-better.

It's rational, it's obvious, & it's functional: we can act on it, through making our Eternity get better, through earning more growing-up within our individual-lives.

All this fatalism & learned-helplessness that is being pushed by all the different forces/groups is counter to our own advantage, and we NEED to stop drowning-for-its-benefit, right?

That's why I invested in making the underling principle clear, even though I'm tired & fed-up with how it has battered my life: universal-law cares only about itself, so "tough cookies", it is. )


That brilliant insight in the Christian bible is true:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev+10%3A8-10&version=CJB

In-one's-face apparent- or symbolic- "truth" is syrupy-sweet,

but in-one's-belly experience-induced-understanding is bitter, bitter.

The more-complete my understanding, the more the world's oligarchy-rulers turn out to be machiavellian gaslighters, who have power that cannot be broken without MASSIVE concerted-action by entire-civilizations, including governments-for-the-citizenry, ..

.. & the next-while's going to be butchering-down humankind in wars over ideologies, in order to prevent any fundamental-change from removing power from narcissism-machiavellianism-sociopathy .. to responsibilityarchy..

it's like seeing a mob take a detour from where-they-are-fighting .. through a narrow land-bridge that slaughters most of them, dropping them into being shredded on rocks by stormy-seas, so their few-survivors can finish fighting without concentrating on the important-thing-1st..

Fighting the wrong war.

It is our unconscious ignoring that won, .. not any appearances that we put atop that unconscious-ignoring..

Humbug on our retardedness, refusing to correct the most-fundamental-wrongs 1st.
