The question was: When are the good guys going to hack these feckless morons?

@merileedkarr that would be nice, but I don’t know what the larger goal would be? Maybe to doxx these idiots, and maybe then invite people to visit violence upon them? (It would be totally cool with if that happened, by the way.) Or maybe drain their bank accounts, which would risk prosecution for espionage (not that the rule of law means anything anymore nowadays.)

It looks to me more like the Trump administration is going to self-destruct at some point in the near future, this could come about due to pressure from foreign adversaries like the Chinese, and/or internal pressure from big business fascists who have decided Trump has become too much of a liability.

I think the most important thing is to try and minimize the fallout from their self destruction, and I mean that both literally and figuratively, because Trump does in fact control the nuclear arsenal.

We're a violent people. We kill each other every day. Almost all killings, and the overwhelming number of crimes in general, are gotten away with.

What citizens do not have is a monopoly on the use of violence. That's (theoretically) the purview of the state. The most violent among us are the agents of the state, the police themselves. Google "40% of cops"

Their irregular auxiliaries, the grassroots fascist paramilitaries are a paper tiger. They're out numbered, out gunned and surrounded. They also tend strongly to cowardice. At public demos, without support from the police, they always retreat.

Should #CivilWarII will break out it would be a disaster for all concerned. No sane and sensible people want that, but if the fascists insist, we're going to have to deal with them. An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Anyone who believes that #neoNazis, #WhiteSupremacists, and #MAGAts are the only people in America who own guns and know how to use them, is deeply deluded. We just don't wave them around at demos, that's all. But we *are* ready to defend ourselves.

#CivilWar2 wouldn't be fought between states or regions. It would be fought between neighbors. It would be a bloodbath. It would also be America's national suicide. The world would pick our bones and we'd deserve it. A lot of people think we deserve it already.

Day 20 💰💰🏭🏦🛢️☢️🕍⛪️🙏🔥

“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.

Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.

Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”

“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.

Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”

If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 🧅 got a new job.
