Look far and wide. This is the future of the Earth every where if Authoritarianism takes over. When every where is an autocracy this will be normalized. As a species we must fight back for freedom.

Peaceful protests until there is nobody left to protest.
Just hit anything in the oil supply chain relentlessly until the People's demands are met tbh.
Any suggestions?
Yes, join a protest movement, the ones that survive will transform into resistance fighters in the near future.
Oh I meant how to disrupt the oil industry effectively. I don't actually know how the supply chain works fully, nor where it might be weakest.
If I did I wouldn't be talking about it in something thats indexable by search engines. If you're curious about becoming a liberal democracy instead of a fascists oligarchy/dictatorship, you should join a movement.
This is the US that MAGA wants. They should do the world a favor and just move to Russia. I hear they need more men to feed to the frontline anyway.
Your comment reminded me about an article some time ago about a maga family emigrating to Russia. I think it was during Biden's time.
Not sure what happened to them since, but they were in some kind of trouble back then. It's possible a conscription order may have been that trouble...
I think I know which one you mean. The beet farmer and his family of ten, right?

Yeah, this the one. Obviously I remembered the details wrong, but I am curious how well they're living nowadays.
I guess that partly depends on how many of his kids are conscription age.

They seem to be doing okay, though it sounds like they could still lose everything at any time.
Is this the same family that had their bank account seized by Russia and then the father disappeared for a while, only for mom to make a weird YouTube video that looked like a hostage video, claiming everything was fine?
I don't think so. I don't remember hearing about that.
After looking it up, it seems I remembered some of the details wrong, but it's the same family I was thinking of. I may also be remembering those wrong details from another story I read long ago, but my brain is basically a bowl of wet oatmeal at this point, so who knows.
Upon arrival, their bank accounts were immediately seized for suspicious activity (too many transactions). The wife made a tearful YouTube video criticizing Russia and saying she was ready to leave. The Kremlin took offense and the video was removed. The husband later made an apology video, saying their frustrations weren't aimed at Russia as a whole, but that they were just frustrated at getting used to how the laws there work.
Good on them if they are doing okay. Russia isn't a bad place, even if the government is shit. I wouldn't recommend moving there during war time, but outside of that, you could do a lot worse. I visited Russia and Ukraine in the early 2000s, and loved both places. I actually wanted to move there for some time, but life happened, then war happened, and I found somewhere else that fit me a lot better. I really hope to visit again someday.
it's good propaganda to keep them alive and happy, they're probably fine
The people that do this horseshit never want to move to places where it’s already in place, because they are always dangerous gangland nightmares and those people tend to be soft and sort of stupid. If they went there they wouldn’t survive. They need to be in our safe ordered society, and fuck it up into the nightmare, in safety.
Counterpoint: how much of this is our fault? If people are allowed to vote who don't even know how many branches of government there are, then how can they make effective decisions about the very thing that they know nothing about?
We've seen this before, with Brexit. Democracy requires effort to maintain.
Yeah. Every securely built society gets rotten as time goes on, because no one feels anymore the urgency to maintain it. People used to have a fire of how important it was to make things okay, build and maintain all that structure, and that's what built the mid-20th-century good place that was America (for some people, not that it was "finished" in any sense, but it was pretty freakin' good all things considered and comparatively.)
But yeah then everyone got lazy and let things fall apart. And now, look what happened. Weak people make hard times.
Ironic that her last name Kozyreva means Trump
Wants? America has been doing this since Biden.
Poor girl. Fuck authoritarians everywhere
To El Salvador with you! Oh wait, does Russia send citizens to Max prisons in other countries?
Why bother? Just ship them to Siberia.
Just gulags
My mom would make gulag when I was young
US, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Iran, China, North Korea, same shit different places
Ironic that her last name Kozyreva means Trump
Did they send her to El Salvador too?
