       it still feels infuriating how when one year ago when Trump started talking of invasion everyone was like "blustering", "impossible", "distraction from Epstein" etc. and I was like, this is war, this is how war happens, there's a process until you get a country to bomb and what he's doing *right now*, these statements, these are parts of the process, we're going to see war.  and now that several ships have been blown up in violation of every norm and nobody did anything, now that he has bombed the capital of a lat-am country and kidnapped the president with the express purpose of appropriating resources and nobody did anything, *now* people act as if they never called me crazy/doomer/news-obsessed etc. for saying, this is war, we're going to war.I guess at least *now* people aren't doubting anymore that Greenland and Canada are on the menu too, though you did call me crazy when I said "this is real" the very first time Trump started joking about Greenland and Canada.  look, if the boyfriend of your friend starts joking about punching him if he runs his mouth again, you have to understand that his joking is already the process that leads to backhand slaps happening.  the violence doesn't happen overnight.  the violence is built, and the words is how you build it.

       so that's infuriating but still not *as* infuriating as the fact that we *already have* concentration camps, mass deportations, child kidnappings, thousands of people kidnapped and disappeared without explanation etc. and people still talk as if the USA is "on the way" to "become" a fascist authoritarian dictatorship.  because disappearing 65 thousand people and ethnically cleansing over 600 thousand isn't "real" yet because these aren't real people, they're just latin americans.of course back in the first round of fascism hitler was also targeting the non-people, which led to real people talking in the same way, what happens to Jewish Poles doesn't count.  the difference is this time people have a model and should know better.  the difference is that now the fascists make meme merch about the concentration camp to own the libs, one third of the inmates in the concentration camp disappeared without explanation and they make funny T-shirts about it, and the fully owned libs are *still* saying that e.g. they don't endorse political violence and that the assassination of one fascist was a bad thing somehow.  murdering 01 (one) of the bastards who did this is somehow a line too far, they say, as his friends blow up another boatful of innocents.  probably because the murdered fascist was a white gringo and therefore a real person, so his death unlike ours counts as violence and that's scary."I'm against MAGA but I don't know what to do" you're also the most heavily armed population in the world for fuckssake, you can probably buy a sniper rifle in Walmart or something. "if we shoot ICE agents they are going to crack down on us" us real people, right? cos for us subhumans they're already cracking down for a year

       ok after a year of disappearing people ICE has murdered a white woman for a change and *now* I see gringos finally talking about the necessity of shooting ICE agents. now it's real, eh.it's hard not to feel bitter about this kind of thing.  suddenly the point I've been making all this time, that y'all gringos are living among brownshirt stormtroopers whose ongoing ethnic cleansing project has cleansed over half a million subhumans already and sent tens of thousands of latinx to concentration camps, right now, and if *that* doesn't call for armed resistance than what the flying fuck does???—*now* this point doesn't sound as "out there" as when I made it in the distant past of three days ago, huh
