Politics Fascist takeover US 2025.

If you know you are confronting "goons" and "savages", in the current heightened atmosphere, what could possibly go wrong? They are not going to let you interfere and your life is at risk. No one rushed to help him. It's the same as confronting a gang on the streets of Melbourne, or anywhere; you are going to come off second best. Be sensible.

"He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight". Be sensible.

i'd certainly take the pragmatic advice in that situation. i'd stand back from the action, and away from other protestors so that i'm not in a grouping, and so that i can provide alternate camera angles when they murder other people.

You're right, but (1) the disproportionate use of force causing civilian deaths is extremely concerning nonetheless and (2) sets a bad precedent and could occur with future administrations on both sides.

I hope the right understand the can of worms they are opening. The worm will eventually turn and they'll lose the power. Will they be just as happy when it's them being brutalised and murdered?

Alex should have stayed TF away. What did he think he was going to achieve?

I dunno for sure but at a guess I reckon he was thinking he'd achieve helping a woman get to her feet after some thug knocked her over.

 

[ferball]

so you would have done the same thing? Yes I am fng serious. Don't mess with these people.

I'd love to tell you exactly how gutless I think your attitude is but I'd probably get another infraction...

Would you have tried to fight your way past several “thugs” to the rescue? I’m thinking no.

You can think what you like. You don't know anything about me.

He was on the street and pepper-sprayed. he had a right to be on a public street.

Disgusting comment.

I’m still thinking you have more sense. Goodness knows why…

I wouldn't count on that...

You're right in terms of today's religion where we all pray to the god of self interest. Which is why we are where we are.

 

[RCAB]

Are you fng serious?

Of course he is. He's not telling what they really think, and that's that they want them all in concentration camps soon.

TikTok is censoring the words “Epstein” and “ICE” — and that alone should tell you how fast political censorship just arrived in America. Over the past several days, users across the US have reported that messages containing the word “Epstein” are blocked outright, flagged as violations of TikTok’s Community Guidelines.

Videos critical of Donald Trump or documenting ICE raids and protests — including in Minneapolis — are reportedly being buried, throttled, or left sitting at zero views.

This didn’t happen in a vacuum.It happened less than a week after TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, was forced to hand over majority control of its US operations to a group of American investors aligned with Trump.

Since that takeover, the censorship complaints have piled up fast. Not rumors. Not fringe users. Elected officials are saying it out loud.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a state-level probe into whether TikTok is violating state law by suppressing Trump-critical content. “It’s time to investigate,” he wrote publicly, after screenshots circulated showing the word “Epstein” being blocked outright.

State Senator Scott Wiener went further. He says a TikTok video he posted explaining legislation that would allow people to sue ICE agents was effectively shadow-banned — stuck at zero views while other content performed normally. “TikTok is now state-controlled media,” Wiener said.

TikTok’s response? A familiar corporate shrug.

The company claims the issues are the result of a “major infrastructure” failure caused by a power outage at a US data center, triggering cascading system errors — slower loads, missing views, blocked posts, vanishing engagement.

But here’s the problem: infrastructure failures don’t selectively block politically sensitive words. Power outages don’t mysteriously suppress criticism of the sitting president or footage of federal law enforcement raids.

What we’re watching isn’t a bug. It’s a stress test.

A platform with more than 200 million American users just changed hands — and almost immediately, discussion of elite scandal and state violence started disappearing.

This is what soft censorship looks like in 2026. No bans. No police at the door. Just invisible throttles, muted keywords, and a public square quietly fenced in behind the scenes.

You don’t lose democracy all at once.

You lose it word by word.>>>

Sounds like Pretti is a far braver man than most. Obviously deserved to be executed for the crime of helping a woman.

The same poster your replying to is the same person who has no issue with the moral assymetry of innocent women and children get slaughtered in Palestine by an oppressor.

Why would they change their views for the US?

True, Israel is not involved so it's probably of no interest to you.

Murder is murder. State violence murder is wrong particularly when it oppresses people. I have justified the Iranian regime, at all? Or is this projection? You have justified Israel war crimes for several years on Bigfooty. You have justified Israel and Zionists who are performing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

You think you're arguing with a fool?

Actions have consequences. Both ways. “Reported on” = took part in storming a church.

Yet a judge refused to issue a warrant based on the evidence presented……

Yet they went ahead anyway…. Kinda like a fascist government would

When you're as invested in Trump as these guys are he could f*** a kid and they wouldn't care.
