I appreciate your enthusiasm, and agree, that’s the times as they stand, there’s dozens of John Browns walking around among us, hundreds. Just, you know, remember he was coming off a lifetime of conducting on the Underground Railroad when he attacked Harper’s Ferry.

I never heard that song, thank you.

Came here to say this

I thought it was really clever actually tyvm

Pst, why is Russia bad? It is a capitalist oligarchy. The US has worked very hard over my lifetime to keep it that way.

That’s The number of people deported under Biden and Obama in 12 years.

Just go ahead and look for the bureau of governments statistics and be sure to get all deportations not just the ones done by ice.

Hey buddy so I made this space. it exists to tell you hey no seriously. It does not matter which of your guys is in charge. The US is the Premier force for evil in the fucking world. Just just to be clear of the context of this conversation.

Dude same. It’s really good for if you ever go to prison. You’ll sell so much hooch.

Same one as everyone else’s., seeing the future.

Clocked :T

Oh no look at all the radical internet people and their power fantasy of … being able to actually make the world a better place with force.

So unprecedented. How immoral.

We appreciate your enthusiasm. Yeah probably, but the idea is to do a tricky trick and actually win. You don’t need P R E S E N T A T I O N for assassination(s).

Terrorist attack on billionaires where you take them hostage until they agree to end world hunger.

no it’s not. I am the power tripping bastard in this situation. Looking for answers to how Lemmy works.

What in the damn Sam hell is this it says right at the top of the page

Actually. These are paramilitary blackshirts using handguns, to handle a toddler.

everything was handled properly

can’t speak to how you’ve got to this level of brain damage, but I will promise to finish damaging your brain the rest of the way, if the opportunity presents itself.

Well you can always chat with the entire other school of thought for socialists: “Yeah, what you’re laying out about genocide is accurate. It was a FAMINE. That is what a Famine means. Now use that methodology to analyze the societal context and motivations of any other famine that doesn’t rely on testimonials from Nazis as the core of its evidence.”

I will follow up on this research. Thank you.

OK so the relevant context for why arrests can be so dramatically high but the number of incarcerated people peaked at 2.3 million is first off turnover like it’s it’s not the same 2.3 million people something like a quarter million or more or the same people, but the rest of it is constantly turning over they are constantly bringing in new bodies into the system and recycling them out into the second part of the system. Which is my larger point of the actual number of people on probation and parole, who have severely restricted status in every aspect of life is more than 5 million and has been this entire time.

The probation system where people are living with reduced rights under threat of imprisonment, and the parole system, which is the same thing, but even more severe where they were already in prison and have since been released, but they can be sent back at any time for virtually any infraction. That class of people is fucking enormous. It’s something like one in every 25 men in the country is in that system right now and it’s been that way for the last 25 years.

Like, the neighborhood I grew up in, and I’d say about 2/3 of every neighborhood I’ve ever lived in as an adult, about 1/5 to 1/2 of the male population is on criminal probation or prison release on parole. You can you can look at some of these communities in the United States where you know you look at the quality of life and you’re like wow this is so bad. It’s so incredibly bad. Why don’t they just leave and more often than not you’ll find the reason why is because entire swath of the working population are Directly barred from interstate movement by the criminal justice system in the United States.
