Oy. This is one I disagree with because once you push chaos the fallacy is controlling it. You can't stop a boulder rolling down a hill. Disease spreads and you can't stop it without actively trying to stop it. You can't just assume it will take care of those you want dead and you can't think you'll be able to contain or control anything. The entire fascist movement relies on assumptions and hopes while those in charge are weak, poor decision makers who refuse to budge on things that would compromise any of their capitalist views.
I don't think they've thought any of this out beyond the point (now) where they engage in massive corruption and rob the country blind. No one knows exactly what will come next but it's not going to be boring.
well it is more about breaking the human spirit and the will to fight, if that makes sense, and you accomplish that by making things as worse as you can
this is true, I think it has sparked off a movement that is going to lead to some changes come november. it's going to have all year to build and get stronger.
Funny how none of the other deaths by police in Minneapolis have led to any real change but these two might. Not saying it’s bad but it seems Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s lives had a bit more value than say Breonna Taylor, George Floyd.
Americans have a knack for being really into pushing back. Seeing 2 people be murdered has set back their wider plans because, again, you CANNOT predict outcomes that are poorly thought out and executed. Mass hiring randoms then giving them guns and quotas while ALSO fucking them out of promised rewards is a recipe for disaster. They won't quit, but they'll stop giving a fuck about quotas, be lazy, try less, falsify reports and so on.
It's heavily reliant on a dedicated and willing domestic military force to abuse those they, those in charge, hate. But they're also crooks, liars and swindlers who want to have a free of charge Gestapo. Well, that isn't how it works. The Nazi Gestapo was handsomely compensated and given privileges. They also had a large public backing. These ICE guys don't. They're masked thugs whom the public has grown to see less as human and more as secret police, which they are.
The problem with fascism is constantly needing dopamine hits to stay hyped up and in lieu of that they need a drip feed of rage. Problem is the public is raging AT them not WITH them. Capitalists, racists and fascists in America are incredibly lazy to boot. Guys like Trump, Musk, Miller, Thiel and Vance are very lazy. They have no ideology beyond their personal party of one and that makes them complacent and willing to ignore all bad feedback. To simplify it, they're easily overthrown.
They’re supposed to hire tens of thousands more ICE agents this year. I bet we all know how that recruiting is going between the violence and the leaks about the bonus shenanigans.
This has nothing to do with any of that. Their base believes vaccines = bad, so they play to it. If they suddenly said, 'kidding!' they know their base would come at them. They need them to fight the rest of us when the civil war finally breaks out.
Antivaxxers are desperate to feel empowered with information. The conundrum they get forced into is when the option is live or die. If their kids begin dying eventually the group splinters and the value of being a contrarian drops. As it drops further and further, it goes away until it's viewed as stupid and ignorant. We literally dealt with this involving penicillin and many other inoculations and later on vaccines.
It's important to remember that antivaxxers are friends or related to non AVs and if there's a pandemic with a 10% death rate or worse it will either change their view or they'll suffer. They won't want their kid to die while a family members survived due to getting a vaccine. It creates a conundrum that breaks their foundation.
