As a power bottom I'm offended you would even consider this idiot to put in that much effort.

The Civil war is not the historical comparison to make. This is significantly more similar to Italy under Mussolini or Germany under Hitler. There is no clear state divide and geographical boundary set like that today. There is absolutely no chance of a Civil War.

Look at the leaders of every blue state trying to find their position in the new fascist state we have. Gavin Newsom being the most obvious example.

They will allow the purge of what the fascist consider "undesirables" from their state as long as they keep their position in the ruling class safe.

There will be no civil war. The only war to be fought within America is a class war.

I'm 50/50 on this. I think it will depend on if we're in a full out WW3 by then. But you are correct. It's important the illusion of democracy continues. It's been an illusion for most of American history though.

The Hasanabi Doctrine is real.

You think they'll be an election? Ha!

I don't know why but "Bear Share" became a joke between me and my friends. It was like we made fun of one kid for using it instead of whatever we were using at the time. I don't remember why but that's all I remember about it. Makes me laugh now. Joking with one of our friends about what P2P client was the best.

Torrent scene is still alive and well. Actually has been revived pretty heavily since streaming services have gone to shit. MP3s are easy enough to just rip from youtube using yt-dlp. Supports more than just yt despite the name. That has all the info about it but you probably want to update to the nightly versions since they are more likely to be up to date.

Back in my day we would chemically castrate people that used computers! They were modern day witches!

Better? This was the one I remember running Windows 95. I'm actually shocked at how white this one is. Was everything tinted more back in the 90s? Like going to Mexico in a movie. I feel like it adds a filter.

Off the top of my head others I remember were: Kazaa, Morpheus, Frostwire (when limewire went to shit). I'd say Kazaa was the one I used the most though during its time. Moved to torrents for movies/tv shows pretty quickly and limewire/frostwire for mp3s. Piratebay, ISOHunt, Demonoid (god i was so happy getting an invite there at 13 years old), mininova.

I was an addict. Would download shit I didn't need and just use it because. Literally spent years learning how to animate in 3dsMax just because my brother in law told me that he "stole" a program that cost thousands of dollars. I think the keygen I downloaded for that was actually my first "letter" from Comcast. It scared the shit out of me at 14.

I had to buy a portable DVD-R drive to recover some old movies I made with friends as a kid. I felt old. The sound of the scratched disk trying to be read brought back trauma from when my first PS2 died.

Absolutely. Good luck comrade

Yeah that's probably for the best. I say this with no judgement as a former WoW addict. It's the time to do shit in the real world and get organized to resist these Fascist. Hit up PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) or DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) in your area. If anything it will give you a social life on Friday/Saturday (usually when they have meetups for PSL in my experience). PSL in my area even organized child care during meetups/protests.

Also, your local SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) if you have one. Basically the only place to train with a weapon that isn't filled with MAGA hats. But they have literally been overwhelmed since November so might have to deal with hogs in another course if you're interested in that. Again, depends on your location.

That's my experience trying to explore real life anyway. Your path might be different. Plenty of mutual aids to join. Lots of local organizations of any kind our leading the charge to resist ICE. Depending on your location that might be a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Temple, etc. (Thats one of the main reasons they now legally allow ICE to raid them. Which is FUBAR.) Find out what works for you in your area.

Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.

I'm not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I've read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for "inciting violence" is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to "go to hell where Nazis belong". Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of "no" to my unban request.

This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it's the plague. Digg died because of bad decisions. Reddit seems like it's gonna become 4chan but for the mainstream. I don't know if it'll die. I think they're purging anyone that has leftist profiles.

Absolutely. And it has my full support. But he won't ever see any consequences. The system made to empower oligarchs isn't going to somehow tear down Oligarchs. But they are still absolutely worth doing as a form of resistance. I just don't yhink people should be naive to think that that is the only part of resistance. It's simply a method of delay to give us more time to organize.

There is only one thing throughout history that has brought people in Elon's class position to justice.

Won't happen. While I think all this institutional resistance is good. All of the lawsuits and judge rulings should only be seen as a way meant to delay. Fascism is here. You don't unravel it using the existing institutions and systems.

Delay and prepare. Learn who all your neighbors are. Make sure you can contact all of them quickly and that they can contact you. Your neighbors and your coworkers are who you should be organizing with. Talk to them. Find out who might be a target by ICE. Find out which one of them you can't trust. And of course. Arm yourself.

Elons not getting arrested but we don't have to let them arrest us either. If there is no justice for Elon we can't allow anymore injustice to us.

Yes. That was literally my point.

Maybe but One gun vs. 10 isn't gonna do much. Needs to be combined with community organization. Get to know your neighbors and look out for and protect those likely to be targeted next. Organize your workplace and protect your coworkers from ICE. If you don't speak up there will be no one to speak up for you when it's your turn.

Didn't sample all of the shitty halo players that are too afraid to talk to a women.

Agreed. What point was she even trying to make? Hypocrisy? I swear to God liberals are more helpful to fascism than conservatives are at this point. Their "opposition" is so weak it has to be in bad faith.

Fascist don't give a fuck about a liberals perception of hypocrisy. It's like trying to debate lord your way out of a Nazi death camp just waiting for the fascist to concede to your "superior argument".

The "debate lord" days are over. Fascist ideas won out. We need real material planning not these one liners. Even the right wing debate lords are dying out. No one wants to see Jordan Peterson "DESTROY a Liberal" anymore. Not even right wingers. They are much to happy watching Asmondgold cheer for deporting immigrants and bombing brown kids. The era of the "dumb guy" saying "well that's just common sense" is upon us.

They are done listening to anything liberals have to say. They are far too distracted by enjoying watching "justice" happen to the people that the Democrats ALSO alienated the last election.

This is what no dialects does to liberals. They have no feedback between ideas and material conditions to even recognize the shift. They are still fighting like it's 2008. We'll decline further into fascism as they pretend like they are resisting it.

They had a chance to go a different route with Bernie and they completely blocked it. So now it's too late. Even too late to take Bernie's route.
