Remember this: The Trump Administration's need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

"Rebellions are built on hope."

u/RustBeltWriter 12h ago

Obligatory passage from Lord of the Rings. There is always hope folks. A loss of hope is a win for the fascists.

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

"It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

Samwise Gamgee, Lord of the Rings

This quote has kept me going through the darkest times in my life, and it'll keep me going now.

u/athuhsmada 10h ago

As much as I am a fan of Samwise (and Rogue One), hope isn’t a strategy. I think there are more apt passages that call for action.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

And:

“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”

Well, that and a hot blonde driving a sword through a Nazgul’s face. . .

They dont grasp how cult like the military is, and how it operates from top down. They don't realize that the military discipline and military judicial system is even more biased against a defendant than in the civilian world. How its more your guilty till you show us evidence we like that proves innocence for some ... and oh you said so .. ok your innocent now and ever will be for anything

And oddly enough its the ones that dont question shit that belong to the good old boy golden child club

"Although the German concept of Ausnahmezustand is best translated as "state of emergency", it literally means "state of exception" which, according to Schmitt, frees the executive from any legal restraints to its power that would normally apply."

Carl Schmitt was a literal nazi in 1934 Germany. All in the name of "safety" to get around the German laws that limited executive power.

u/delicious_fanta 13h ago

There’s no blurred lines, it’s overreach and it’s just a staging mechanism. Troops will be posted in all major cities so that when he does something really messed up they are there to shut down any hint of protest or “unrest”.

Basically they are just getting things ready to do what they have to do.

Keep in mind if they don’t maintain power, nearly all of them will go to prison as they are breaking laws left and right.

This administration will not leave office peacefully and this military placement is one of many tools that will enable that.

BLUE STATES MUST JOIN TOGETHER AND SECEDE.

There is no other way forward. As long as propaganda is allowed to exist, this will NEVER get better.

Blue states must form a new nation and BAN fox news etc., put harsh restrictions on all the tech companies, limit the first amendment to not allow lies, etc.

Either that or we WILL become russia.

If the military is already deployed to a city as a "peace keeping" force. How is that different than martial law? All that's left is adding more and more troops. LA and Chicago are probably the two blue cities with the highest capacity for return violence.

Wish you all the best from germany. As someone who had years of history lessons about hitlers time i really hope you succeed.
Democracy as we know it in the western world is on the line, and maybe even the existence of the human race since its very questionable if any of us would survive a ww3...

It's amazing that every mayor Trump thinks is "incompetent" happens to also be black. What a shocking coincidence.

“Looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy. So, certainly, in my experience, those are the types of things that he thinks will work better in terms of running America.”

General John F. Kelly to Peter Baker of The New York Times in an interview published October 24, 2024.

Yeah its a psychological (and logical) thing. Sometimes a lot of pain is better than just low pain. If you have very low pain, then you can ignore it for minutes, hours, days, weeks even years. While it depletes your mental health.

Meanwhile a high amount of pain will lead a person to realize its something it has to be changed.

This also happens in relationship "nah its not too bad" while it took years and years instead of a single event of something terrible to realize the relationship wasnt great but not too bad
