  • Why do you think I’m here? If American antifascists fail to remove the cancer, it will destroy the lives of millions/billions abroad. Whether or not fascist tyranny appears in my country/city is mostly dependent on whether or not American antifascists overthrow American fascists, including oligarch operatives like Thiel and Musk. Palantir is an integral part of the fascism American corporations/oligarchs are exporting, along with most intelligence/surveillance tech, economics, politics, big tech, media, and social media.

    How do YOU propose foreigners help? I’ve already shifted my investments and purchases away from American corpos and USD. I’ve already canceled all subs and transitioned as much away from big tech as I can at this stage. I’ve already donated hundreds to Ukraine. I already spent a large chunk of my life refuting both fascists and anti-fascists with stats, facts, and logic on social media. I realised that none of it mattered many years ago, because the fascist oligarchy own the networks and algorithms.

    The hardest part has been convincing American “liberals” that they aren’t in the big club they think they are, and that the “moderate whites” — neoliberals and “traditional” conservatives — will not protect or defend them from fascism, just like MLK documented over 60 years ago.

    I’m not American; just a foreign ally who would’ve already bought a gun and learned how to use it a decade ago, if I were American, because MAGA has been a fascist evangelical mental illness fuelled by billionaire propaganda the entire god damn time.

    But maybe organise protests outside the homes of every Republican politician 24/7? Don’t let them sleep and make them feel the terror they are bringing to the people?

    Maybe spend your time building lists of who the fascists are, where they live, and how high-profile they are? Maybe study methods of guerrilla warfare and insurgency? Maybe join local antifascist militias and learn how to securely communicate, including in case of when the fascists nuke the internet and energy grid?

    Maybe spend your time preparing for when the mass murder starts? Have a plan of meaningful resistance, then execute it if/when all else fails.

    Because I can tell you right now, the tens of millions of mentally ill Americans are impossible to de programme. They’ve chosen fascism, and they won’t abandon it without being brought to their knees. Trying to reason with insanity is nothing more than wasting your breath.

    "Let’s point out the hypocrisy of the fascists for the thousandth time. Then, we’ll use logic to explain reality to those who have rejected logic for a decade. Then, we’ll appeal to the virtues, morality, and ethics of those who have never once displayed any of those traits.

    That’ll surely stop the fascist coup in its final hour."

    — American “liberals”

    I swear, at this point it’s hard to tell who is more brainwashed and mentally ill. The fascists who reject reality, or the antifascists who reject reality; refusing to accept that the fascists are too mentally ill to be reasoned with.



  • America is an example of the narcissism and psychopathy that extreme wealth creates, and capitalism rewards, rotting a society to its core.

    It’s most prevalent in America because it has the highest wealth inequality, and the most religiously indoctrinated poorly educated population, but the ultra wealthy tend to be narcissists everywhere; especially those born into extreme wealth, like Trump.


  • It’s actually a work of art how meticulously they achieve the low budget 80’s B-horror aesthetic; acting, direction, cinematography, editing… everything. The random jump cuts (cemetery shotgun, lol), amateur framing, disjointed voiceovers, walking to nowhere at the end of a scene, or entering a scene for far too long, a Tombstone blowing in the wind.

    It’s extremely difficult to intentionally make it all so shit while being so fucking funny. Perfection. Oh, and no fucking canned laughter!
