News: How to Topple an Authoritarian Regime

Can't help thinking it would have been easier to have just stayed put

But, good on him I suppose

 

Photos: Massive turnout as Portlanders join 'No Kings'

Beautiful day for it in Portland.

 

Holy Ffook. Boise, Idaho

 

If true, that’s 2% of the population

 

I went to the No Kings rally in my county today. I'm glad that I did.

 

How big were the protests in the UK?

 

I’m pissed, totally pissed off after yesterday.
Yes it was a grand day out and lottsa fun.
BUT WHERE WERE THE YOUTH OF AMERICA.
The ones who will ultimately feel the weight of an authoritarian regime. Some have mocked No Kings Day as just for the old. It was for the most part, because older people remember and understand what it means and still know what it meant to be AMERICAN and see it slipping away.
The America that sent the youth of the Finest Generation to fight fascism and win.
Now this current generation doesn’t understand or doesn’t care.
“Leave it out parents generation to look after things for us. They bought us all the toys that they couldn’t have.”
Or as four guys one sang: “ They gave her everything money could buy”
How much is a cellphone these days that consumes and controls most their spoilt lives.

Yes, today I am a grumpy old man. Not normal for me. An octogenarian (big word for 87) an immigrant that has lived in four countries but has stayed in this one, mostly happily for over half of those years.
So it won’t affect me for very much longer.

But I despair for the young who don’t see or care what it could be like living in a Stasi world.

OK, end of rant and before any of you fekkers tag this. Take this.

You can't tell me what to do. You're not my real dad.

 

2 points,

1. We're not the same country, (although sometimes people don't seem to realise that), and,
2. Strictly speaking, we already HAVE a King, so...

 

But apparently one less Duke now.

 

If it's any comfort, I saw lots of young people out there yesterday in Portland. LOTS.

 

Yea, I sorta expect it from PDX. But the rest???

 

We're getting rid of them one at a time, so it's gonna take a while.

 

Unfortunately,many young people have been part of the rightward movement of the country.
They have seen the breakdown of systems that gave them a hope of having what their parents had.
And I'm not going to say they are brainwashed by Rogan Kirk and techbros.
They feel they are losing a place of privilege and are being expected to just give it up in the name of some greater good that in their eyes,isn't benefitting them.
Rogan and the other alt righters arent molding them they grifting off them.If social justice sold,they'd be preaching it.
IOW,kids are selfish bastards

 

There were plenty in DC

 

Hopefully not for the same reasons though.

 

Uh...kinda like the royal family! You may be due for a name change!
