    I'm just saying, we have the power to start helping economically and socially oppressed people without relying on the government. I'm not asking you to firebomb a Walmart, I'm asking you to hide undocumented immigrants in your house or help them obtain firearms illegally if they require so they can start a militia, those crimes.

    'Cause I literally cannot do those things because I'm about to be homeless. I have no income and cannot get a job because I'm too autistic and too trans and too traumatized for one. So I'm on a timer until my conservative abusive parents decide to rid of me (and they have threatened it multiple times). I rely on them for my survival, currently. I have type one diabetes, so it is likely if I am evicted that I will die shortly after from being unable to have access to insulin or other diabetes supplies reliably.

    A friend bought be one vial of estradiol enanthate online through crypto and shipped it to me, so that's nice, not much, but this is what I'm talking about.

    Idk, this kinda stuff is like for working class people. My class is probably lumpenproletariat, I don't have the resources to do much.

    it honestly feels like a psyop at this point. in russia there was a particular focus on making people "apolitical", which is a different direction but still was focused on reducing opposition turnout.

    Read Aleksandr Dugin book and it all makes sense. It's part of the geopolitical playbook.

    Sowing Social Division: The book explicitly directs Russian operatives to introduce "geopolitical disorder" inside the U.S. by fueling racial, social, and religious polarization.

    Exploiting the Democratic Process: While it doesn't give a step-by-step guide to voter suppression, it encourages the promotion of isolationist and extremist political groups to break down faith in public institutions, media, and the democratic process itself.
