@LibertyOverGov Any other nation in the world, even those in fascist states like North Korea or China would have stood up and ousted the Trump Cartel's long ago

@LightHouse_Dann @LibertyOverGov

fuck the united states but tiananmen square and {gestures broadly at the totalitarian cruelty of north korea} proves that your take is quite absurd

what i'm saying is we can oppose the fascism in the usa without letting the fascism in other countries off the hook

a principled stand would be to oppose china, north korea, and the usa, all at the same time

Lighthouse Dann Feb 22

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov I wasn't agreeing with or siding with China or North Korea.The point of the comment was that even in countries like those the people are willing and actually try to oust a Dictator leader.
I never said if they win or not.
I didn't say anything about my even caring about those countries.

The comment was pointing out that the American people are doing little to save their democracy and, "any other country, "even" North Korea and China, would fight for their rights.

@LightHouse_Dann @LibertyOverGov

"The point of the comment was that even in countries like those the people are willing and actually try to oust a Dictator leader."

North Korea?!

"The comment was pointing out that the American people are doing little to save their democracy"

they absolutely can do more. 100% agreed

some of these entitled assholes you can't even get to vote, nevermind strike or protest

@LibertyOverGov I guess people are starting to remember what we called police during the late 1960's....

I do remember Century City 1967 (where I was billy clubbed by rioting police), Chicago 1968, etc.

Medium Cool (1969) - protest turns violent

I love you, I am proud of you!Feb 22

I needed a trigger warning for this one.

@Mage_of_Chaos @LibertyOverGov

my personal feeing is that trigger warning the abuse of fascists only serves as censorship of fascist abuse and therefore only benefits fascism

as long as it is not gore, i don't think your instincts here are helping our struggle

JackMex Feb 22

Folks supporting authoritarians are crazy mad.

Look what it does to people.

Let the kids protest. What happened to freedom of speech?

Captain Jack Sparrow Feb 22

Hey fascist pig, that's child abuse!

@LibertyOverGov ACAB

a grown ass man choking out a teenage girl

because his feelings were hurt

that's pretty much the essence of MAGA

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov He's lucky some kid who kicks for the football team didn't mistake his head for a football while he had that girl in a chokehold.

i disagree because then that would be carte blanche in the minds of these hysterical pigs to empty 20 rounds into the kicker

don't get me wrong we need to confront these shitbags, even physically

but we need to be smart about it

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov A chokehold is in fact lethal force and in and of itself. By law resisting lethal force from someone in a brown shirt not a police uniform is "anything goes"

i agree. you have the moral and logical stand

however, there's plenty of people in the cemetery who had the moral and logical stand

all i am saying is that we need to fight back smart. and certainly in the heat of the situation we can't magically think up the ideal response. so a kick in the head is appropriate, according to me, and you

just be aware what that means in the minds of the brownshirts

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov If I have to go to Valhalla myself to keep a kid from being murdered by a brownshirt so be it

and i for one would like to see someone as brave as you live to see another day

so i won't stop your actions. but i will try my damnedest to see if there is a better tactic. which might not be possible

much respect

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov Thanks

This is like when someone on a bike tells me they have the right-of-way. Yeah but you versus a car is a pretty iffy outcome. I don’t know what the answer is and he would definitely deserve that kick but…?

@LibertyOverGov @benroyce Yup, entitled white male bitches punching down…or in this case, strangling down.

Quaker Town!!!!
As in the pacifist Quakers! What the hell is happening in this country?

@nanowiz @LibertyOverGov Civil war is what's happening here

nanowiz Feb 22

warring over this syphilitic Orange pusack is pathetic and sad

@nanowiz @LibertyOverGov War was the only thing that stopped Adolf Hitler 1.0

nanowiz Feb 22

And that caused great sadness proving that we have learned absolutely nothing in the intervening years between Hitler and the orange syphilitic pus sack

BLURST OF TIMES Feb 22

@LibertyOverGov that’s exactly what they want to do to all women.

TheZorse Feb 22

This should have a content warning.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

no it should not

this is anodyne content that anyone on social media sees all the time

your instinct here is to censor police brutality, which only allows police brutality to occur unseen. your instinct is helping police brutality, unintentionally

if this were gore? i would 100% agree with you

but i disagree with you here on *this particular* content because people need to see

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov

TheZorse Feb 22

I don't need or want to see this. I'm also not American, so seeing it doesn't empower me to help the situation. It's just traumatic.

It's not censorship. It's respect.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

well then respect us in the usa who are going through this trauma, who need examples of police brutality broadcast as far as can be seen to help fight it

if you don't want to see it you can block or unfollow

but what you can't do is gatekeep on our abuse for the sake of your need for an antiseptic timeline

if it was gore or pornography, you could. but it isn't, so you can't

all you are doing is helping police brutality by hiding it. you are in the wrong here

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

draNgNon Feb 22

@benroyce the hash tags should be a bit more accurate though, for proper filtering. some folks will have trauma re-triggered by that picture.

@draNgNon @TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

i would like to believe that anyone who has suffered police brutality would like us to fight police brutality. which you do by broadcasting it

but i have no problem with your request for a hashtag

The best assistance you can provide in a case like this is to hit that 'chief' really hard on his throat. He will be choking and probably need emergency 1st aid, but he won't do this again any time soon.

JeffreySmith 🌻🍉🇨🇦Feb 22

A chokehold by a grown man on a teenage girl is child abuse 100% of the time.

Creamy Spinach Jalapeño Feb 22

@LibertyOverGov snowballs? Imagine losing your shit over a snowball being thrown at you. Pathetic.

Here is the news report about the incident.

Looks like the guy was the local police chief, but not in uniform, and he gets clobbered by the kids after he choke holds the girl. There are also other men involved.

https://6abc.com/post/student-walkout-quakertown-pa-ends-arrests-confrontation-police/18626651/

Student walkout in Quakertown ends in arrests after confrontation with police

In the footage, a man wearing a brown shirt, identified by sources at the Quakertown Police chief's office, is seen putting a girl in a chokehold as other students surround him.

Another account...

"Although it’s unclear from public videos whether there were one or multiple men in tan shirts clashing with teens, the student said McElree was the only one he saw wearing tan, and that he was the one photographed putting a freshman girl in a chokehold."
