i dont know how i’m supposed to think this is anything but a nuclear threat.
gonna hug my baby extra tight tonight. i suggest you all do the same
Aww baby, cute!She’s 4, so more of a toddler-shaped hellion, but i love my princess
I love meming and all that but I know people with family in Iran who are terrified so as leftist make sure you have a plan if it does go through.
I plan on mass emailing my office that I’m not going in because I will be protesting and encourage them to do the same. I know we frown upon unplanned action but I’d rather so something than wait for the go ahead.
Join one of the protests happening across the country put on by ANSWER, PSL, DSA, PYM, 50501, etc

People on hexbear be like “your plan pales in comparison to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart” and then not firebomb a Walmart
Agreed. This criticism about protest doing nothing is meaningless with the complete absence of firebombed Walmarts.
I’d even accept a firebombed CVS or something, but ain’t no one doing that either, smdh.
Honestly CVS should be firebombed first. Caremark causes far more harm than Walmart.
Strike where opportunity presents itself. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of burning down Walmart.
💯
you, a nerd who expects spontaneous revolution from an uneducated working class, by which allowing well funded liberal orgs to supress revolutionary potential
me, a chad organizer who views protests as a way to engage with and educate an increasingly disillusioned working class to increase revolutionary potential
y’all need to read lenin
I wish I felt alive inside anymore, I’ve felt cold and dead and hopeless for years now. I tried that and it was like trying to talk the grand canyon into filling itself in
I’ve read Lenin, and tried using his methods and analysis to take targeted action based on my local material conditions and consciousness, but I’m not strong enough to keep trying and trying while accomplishing nothing, and my knowledge of Lenin just makes it so I see all around me what I am too weak to engage in
I don’t remember how to have revolutionary optimism
And I feel ashamed that I don’t even try anymore
Join an org. An individual does not a vanguard party make
I was in an org for years I wasn’t just on a street corner with a sign saying its the end of days
The most revolutionary option is, of course, staying home and doing nothing about anything
I agree, but also I’m eepy. Always so eepy. Must take many naps.
does getting brutalized by cops make a difference? does that stop the bombs dropping? maybe it feels brave, but how does that feeling educate the working class? how does your government mandated beating raise class consciousness in the imperial core?
these are networking and educational events, having cops there beating people makes it way harder to have productive political conversations.
Like yes, we have to fight them, but we also need to obtain political legitimacy in order to displace blue fascists as the “face of the left” so we can use real power to do something about the atrocities that are being committed in our name.
Without legitimate power we can’t defund the police, we can’t divest from Israel, we can’t house people, &c. and we sure as hell can’t stop the bombs from dropping. The burgussy will obviously do everything they can to stop us from ever gaining that kind of power, but by struggling for it we legitimize our position and demonstrate why revolution is necessary to achieve even modest goals like “not doing genocide.”
Yeah I saw mention in another thread of a group of protestors breaking down the door of a police station (or similar?) and terminally onlines criticising them for not entering the building.
But to what end? A tiny isolated outbreak of violence without legitimacy or even a coherent goal or shared understanding between the participants is a recipe for pointless disaster.
I’m surprised they went as far as kicking down a door and that is honestly “enough” natural escalation in that moment. We’re so impatient that we’d rather see our comrades hurl themselves off a cliff so we can see them “do something.” It’s pathetic.
Well we have to do something!
OK what about talking to people about history and connecting them to the long history of socialist struggle in America? The working class is starting to see the issues with empire, now is a great time to help people understand what is going on so we can do something about it!
The left in America is useless, they won’t even commit random acts of terror. Nothing is going to change if we don’t go and harass people until the police come in and arrest us for freedom.
Yeah ok white boy go get arrested
Anyway
Did y’all see that someone targeted a city council member’s home after they voted for a data center to be built? The US is no place for political violence
The US is no place
God I wish
c’mon man, we settle our differences at the battle box
No place you say?
the US is an area for political v- *yanked offstage*
Rest in peace, USA. You sucked shit the entire time and now Trump is ending things
there won’t be any way for trump to wriggle his way out of his war crimes tribunal when he puts his genocidal intent in writing like thisAh well, never again
I’ll believe it when I see it. I really want to be wrong.

Maybe he’ll have some health thing before any of that happens
“A whole civilisation will die tonight” Trump is risking a King Croseus moment here.
The oracle has assured him that crossing the river will mean the end of a great kingdom though
history doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes moment
The Oracle from Phila-delphi
The cheese fumes don’t lie.
“your civilization is dying because of this war”
“someone’s is”
A civilization will die tonight
That’s a terrible threat to say about Iran.
Iran?That first sentence does sound too literate for Trump, I believe he was taken over by a spirit in that moment.
“if you don’t open the straight of Hormuz, one of us will die”
Dramatic boom cuts
“And who will that be, old man?”
Dramatic boom cuts
“Me!”
Dramatic boom cuts
“STOP DOING THAT!”
I don’t have anything to say that wouldn’t be fedposting
Isreal is 76 years old, not 47. Honest mistake to make though.
Just talking like some comic book villain
Violator from Spawn is less evil than Trump.
Choosing to believe this is JDPON Don announcing the end of Amerikkka
Amerikkka isnt civilised
didn’t think he’d chase democrat support like that
Eject every American diplomat from Europe is what I would be saying if we weren’t their sniveling lackeys
I am genuinely scared about tonight
me too
