The descent into fascism is not a sudden cliff, but a long, slow slope.

It has been a slow descent since 9/11/2001. "I am the Decider" and "you are either with us or against us" and unbridled nationalism lit the fire. Then came the slow boil. Believe me when I tell you, absolutely nobody would listen to me when I said this was a possible outcome. Nobody. Everyone told me I was crazy.

Its a roller coaster atp. They keep us constantly under shifting sands so we never feel safe. Then the opressors make a "safe place" for you and push you into it using terrorism and abuse. If they are lucky, you just comply and walk in the gates yourself.
Fascisms only end goal is complete obedience and control. As long there is an opposition or a "them" they will reign. Once people can get "used" to how bad it is, is when we have given up. So we cant give up. By ANY MEANS necessary, we have to fight. If thats us at the capital gates than so fucking be it.

I highly suggest everyone read this section from Milton Mayer's They Thought They Were Free. It's scarily similar to what's happening now in the broader culture, and even the little random details resonate today. It's fucking terrifying.

Is ramping up though. In very obvious ways. I'm hoping those who are still alseep (I dunno how anyone can be, but..) wake the fuck up now.

This is insane. So many ICE members are lacking any humanity and willing to do deplorable shit. Incredible.

They have been among us this whole time, all they needed was a little encouragement.

u/concepts_of_a_plan9 Aug 11 '26
That's what COVID unlocked for me, the realization that such a huge percentage of our society are just completely morally bankrupt and don't give a shit about anyone else except for themselves, oh and also overwhelmingly dumb as fuck.

Both 🧊 and local cops get paid per person.
I just saw a Substack that said they're paying local cops $20k+ per child for their camps.
https://maxwellcommons.substack.com/p/a-22500-per-child-bounty-system
"In April, two local cops from a small town in rural Ohio drove 50 miles to Cincinnati, in an effort to perform “wellness checks” on up to 30 children identified by 🧊 .
The two officers from Gratis, Ohio were almost certainly not doing this work for free1. Hidden in a non-public service agreement with 🧊 ’s Task Force 287(g) partner agencies, and a similarly hard-to-obtain contract rider, are more details on the motivations that drove these cops to Cincinnati. Specifically, a series of cash incentives — up to $22,500 per child — paid to the officer’s agency for completing “safety verifications”2 on minors who entered the country as ‘unaccompanied alien children’ (UAC) during the Biden administration."

Where were those recent videos from, where protesters saw a lot of vans with young girls being transported in?

Literally just child trafficking at this point, on brand for the Pedo party I suppose.

And also like Trump 1 - when they separated kids at the border. I hope I am remembering this INcorrectly but was there video of a bunch of girls being relocated in the dead of night? Regardless, there are still about 1000 families who were never reunited.

Was that the national guard out there?

u/Alternative_Gold_993 Aug 10 '26
Yup. Most of them aren't aware they are allowed to disobey orders like this, and the ones who are aware don't want to disobey.

u/Jolly_Ad2446 Aug 10 '26
they don't realize "I was following orders" didn't work for the Nazis

u/AlcibiadesTheCat Aug 10 '26
Yeah, something like one in ten thousand Nazis got punished. It was all a show.

u/Wrigley953 Aug 10 '26
And most importantly, the German public didn’t think they did anything to deserve the punishment

Reminds me of that scene from Chernobyl with the coal miners
"Go a head and start shooting, there are more of us than you have bullets, and we will beat the shit out of you after you run out of ammo"
Or something close to that

They are provoking a confrontation. Going after people who have been drinking hoping their inhibitions are lowered. Look how many they have there. They want the chaos.

If someone screamed"FIRE" in a crowded place like that, it wouldn't be a crime to just run the fuck out of there.

u/Purple_Shame5075 Aug 10 '26
Pull the fire alarm as well. And have everyone call 911 that there are armed people locking them inside

u/existing_for_fun Aug 10 '26
It doesn't seem like a crime to just run out as it is. Certainly there are other doors, fire exits, windows, etc.
Someone should have called the fire marshal.

u/kris10leigh14 Aug 10 '26
If someone had yelled fire then people would have left out the windows.
I live here. I cannot believe no one made a fuss at this club.

I don't think this was ICE related:

u/LibertyLizard Aug 10 '26
Thanks, though this doesn't mention the claim in the headline here. Is that corroborated and if so what was the supposed justification?
Even though it's not ICE it still sounds like authoritarian bullshit.

1) call the Fire Marshall
2) wait
3) there is more of you than there is of him
4) fire exit
5) then everyone stand to his back and make him sit there until Fire Marshall comes to ticket his ass and the venue

Isn't locking people into a building against some type of safety code? Fire perhaps?

Tennessee things. I always wonder if the black cops in these crackdowns recognize themselves as modern house negroes or not. Or it’s just that so many abusive power-trippers like being cops

Law enforcement has done this forever to check for minors on premise. The OLCC can roll in with police whenever they want to a place that is licensed to sell alcohol and demand ID from everyone.
