I keep hoping I'll awaken from this nightmare.
In the past, I faced personally dangerous situations but always managed to extricate myself from them because I followed my intuition and reacted quickly to it to avoid any proplems.
This situation, however, is totally different.
Where to hide when the criminals who want us dead are in positions of power?

It's not a matter of where to hide, it's a matter of how we organize.

Well I certainly won't be going quietly into that dark night like the Russians did during the Bolshevick revolution.
I'll remain standing until the bitter end.

You make your last stand here. If America falls to Communism, it will cause a domino effect throughout the rest of the world. There is no place else to go.

I'm remote now but I still have neighbors close enough.
The plan I'm on working on is too be much more remote with no neighbors in sight.
One of my present neighbors took in a lady from east Germany as a roommate. She grew up there at a time when the Stasi police shot her neighbor for wrong think. She was 9 years old at the time and saw her neighbor shot by them.

Anyone know what he's referring to, about Biden making journos pull op-eds? Is it related to his "doctor" wife by any chance?
[–] Gringojones 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Retracting opeds does not put journalist lives in danger. Full stop.
[–] RicardoSanchez [S] 1 point -1 points 0 points (+0|-1) ago
That type of censorship puts lots of lives in danger.
[–] Gringojones ago
No it doesn't.
Opinion pieces aren't journalism. They are not fact. They aren't even stories about what is happening. They are someones opinion about what happened.
Opinion pieces are censored constantly. Not every one that gets submitted gets printed. It could even be argued that opinion pieces are only printed at the discretion of the editor and therefore reflect what the editor wants people to read.
You might have had a point if the subject was actual journalism.

Last 12 years normalized "That made me feel unsafe.". For most their default now is "We shouldn't do that." rather than "Grow a pair."

For four years the media lies about Trump, shits all over him and his wife and family, mocks him, reviles him, insults him at every turn, refused to report what he says, distorts everything he does. And Trump did nothing to them, except chide them for their "fake news." Does anyone believe for a second that Biden will just wag a finger at conservatives in the alternative media who criticize him? Not, he will come after the reporters like the fascist he is and shut them down, maybe even get them thrown into prison. And the full weight of the corporate media and Deep State and justice department will support him and never speak a word of criticism against him. That's what we're facing unless Trump gets his second term.

I think most people here would be down if there were a fascist candidate running for office

Fascism usually works out not bad for people who are useful. State can't be killing skilled workers, Corpratist/Fascists understand that. Communists however don't understand that.
