I think someone just told me that US folks should all be trying to assassinate Trump & his cronies.

Maybe I misunderstood, but, like, we all know that's not how you overthrow an evil regime, right? Going out & getting yourself killed trying (& probably failing) to do something largely symbolic (because the oppression machine remains) seems like a bad idea.

Also don't come on social media & tell people to shoot people. That's a bad idea.

Again, the reply was kinda jumbled, so it's hard to tell exactly what he even fucking meant, but

I really think someone just told me that we could solve our problems by trying—en masse—to murder Trump or others in his regime.

Quite the take.

Yeah, you solved it, buddy.

For the love of god, comrades, don't go get yourself killed for a pointless gesture.

The resistance will of course require us to take great risks, but grand, heroic gestures aren't where it's at. Don't be goaded into throwing your life away.

We need each other. Your life is precious. Don't listen to anyone who suggests anything different.

If someone tells you that you are a coward for not rushing off to get killed, tell them to fuck off, because that's a lie of the enemy.

Me, squinting: "I'm sorry, I don't recognize you. Did you come here with someone? You seem very interested in talking about crimes."

paycuts are happening everywhere, including all the feds on social media at Eglin AFB apparently, just no real effort in trying to incite things like they used to.
