Shit, why not here? Can even make a whole goddamn community for him on one of the instances.

I have no mouth, and I must scream.

Can I get a quick rundown on UniversalMonk? What the hell did he do? Looking at his profile he does seem suspect, but aside from that, did he do something that really exposed him or something?

Lol, we should create a society of sorts along the lines of the original Bavarian Illuminati. Create a decentralized storage network and archive of knowledge and history. Create a list of important shit that needs to be archived, and delegate standardized chunks (let's say 5 or 10gb each chunk) of data that are to be downloaded by people. Anytime 5 or 10 people have downloaded a chunk, strike it off the list of priority archival and move onto the next chunk. For this to work, needs alot of people though.

Shit, I wouldn't even discount trying to vote 3rd party when it comes to local elections or state elections. You have to chip away at the power the big parties have at the peripheries first, before trying to do big stuff like voting 3rd party in the big presidential election where they are basically guaranteed to not win.

Prep. Build community. To survive potential trying times. Keep your mouth shut when the fascists take power and figure out ways to erase your online presence.

Edit Addendum: Stock up on food and water. Stock up on vital medications, this of course is personalized to your needs. Saving up a bit of cash and maybe having a few ounces of silver coins probably wouldn't hurt. Gas generator or power station that can be charged with solar can be useful, lots of people like Jackery. Learn how to use a radio, baofengs are a great cheap start. Guns and ammunition if you trust yourself with it and aren't mentally ill. Training for firearms if you do get them.

Shit, even saying the loud part ain't that new if you go back far enough, especially in the southern states.

I think it does ring true. I think you can also say that, in a way, feminism successes do come from patriarchy, that is to say-

It is built upon patriarchy, through the analysis, critique and solutions offered by feminists to it.

What you are critiquing is the hypocrisy and personal individual failings of feminists, which is valid, but is another problem entirely I feel.

Perhaps you are saying these hypocrises and personal individual failings affect alot more feminists than feminists themselves would like to admit? Or perhaps that these hypocrises and personal individual failings have poisoned feminism and it's touted ideals? That feminists who fail in these ways affect the ideology of feminism and that THIS feminism, the "feminism of hypocrites" is what now pervades majority feminist thought?

The expectations the feminists have, are a part of the patriarchy, is what I'm guessing they're trying to say, so it's ultimately still the fault of broader patriarchy and it's standards. I guess what you're effectively saying is that Feminists are affected by patriarchy and it's standards too I guess, which is obvious given they're human and most humans aren't perfect.

Edit Addendum: I also think why it's hard sometimes for some feminists to acknowledge the problems men face, under the standards that the social system and hierarchy that patriarchy sets and is, is that men often play such a big role in the preservation and continuation of patriarchy, that the idea of even talking about or blaming some women(the gender which has faced the biggest brunt of the abuse from patriarchy) for also upholding the system of patriarchy, gets hard. It feels almost as if you were victim blaming or punching down, even though such aspects of patriarchy(that is the idea of women's role in upholding the continuation of it) must be addressed.

So uh, walking, buses, and bikes for the win?

I think the term is private vs state militias, and with this article being about armed militias, we are talking about armed private vs armed state militias. I think technically all 50 states have laws on the books that prohobit various forms of private armed militia activity. Is it enforceable? Maybe, but that would maybe probably cause a nation wide incident given the amount of violence these groups can wield (though they would probably still lose against any organized state militias or any official state/federal military force), as well as increase the chance of a homegrown insurgency popping up. That's just my armchair opinion or thought about it though, I'm just armchairing here.

Lol, civil war then? Imagine trying to arrest the ones with the guns. I'd imagine a big, although still a minority, chunk of troops would immediately defect and form an insurgency under such actions.
