Yep. And we don't talk about Fight Club.

"I'm showing my support online! That means something!"

The entire echo barrel of Bisky will agree with you. And you will accomplish nothing.

I have protested shoulder to shoulder with aging grammas and men in wheelchairs. Go. Get outside. Boots on ground. Or STFU.

In before "well I can't protest, I have undiagnosed autism/COPD and I'm doing what I can!"

Shut the whole fuck up. Please. I beg of you. Just shut the fuck up. You aren't doing ANYTHING.

"REPOST TO BRING TRUMP TO JUSTICE" Cool idea, Jenny, you've never put boots on the ground at a protest, but, ok, sure.

"SHARE THIS VIDEO TO DEFEAT ICE" OK Kevin, when was the last time you went... outside?

Every time I think that maybe, perhaps, protests and opposition will work against these fascist scum, I then read y'all's posts of keyboard warrior nonsense.

And I despair. You're fucking crunchy hippies who sit behind keyboards, and you're fucking worthless.

Thank god you pointed out there are women involved. Your virtue signaling of inclusivity will be noted.

Yes, sharing this will certainly bring these fascists to justice.

[jacking off motions, rolling eyes]

Cats are apex predators, on a local scale. They will outlive us.

I'd go so far as to say that if it's the END OF THE FUCKING WORLD, and you're worrying about cat food and litter boxes? You are definitely doing it wrong.

That would be a cat owner decision. Might have a big enough tent for 'em. But in a SHTF sitch, it's way easier to let cats go outside and do cat business.

Yeah, but I like my stupid modern Jeep.

We do not have indoor space.

...I'd rather have the upper hand of knowing the land where they do not.

Godspeed to all reading this. But I'm out. Out of the city, out of this battle. Knowing when your side is losing is, in fact, a survivalist skill.

"Oh, they'll just come for you too if you bitch out like a coward!"

Good luck finding us. The homestead is very, very remote. My 50 year old bag of skin isn't going to tip the battle in any favor, whether I join or not.

And if I do end up dying in a blaze of bullshit against ICE and LEO forces...

I'm not a defeatist. Rather the opposite. Anyone who knows me is aware that I will rage in the face of authoritarianism if there's even a SHRED of hope that it will change anything.

I don't even see a shred of hope now. The bad guys won. They resoundingly won. So I'm getting out of here.

On this note, if you're doing the No Kings protests next weekend? Good for you! I mean that without sarcasm or irony.

As a seasoned anti-Trump protester, I will not be attending.

I will continue packing up firearms, equipment, and other resources to get the fuck back to the wilderness.

"Federal judge says ICE cannot wear masks."
"Federal judge rules that ICE cannot use riot weapons on peaceful protesters."
"Federal judge says ICE must have a warrant."

Mkay. Let's see if ICE decides to obey. I know where my money is.

Bet me fucking money. It doesn't have to be a big bet. $5 will be fine.

None of these rulings from federal judges are going to stop this administration's fascist takeover.

Not merely being a doomer. This is how fascist governments operate.

Yep, that'll larn 'em.

Still trying to wrap my fucking brain around the bullshit idea of a "Homeless Industrial Complex."

10 minutes in and this is the funniest punch in the gut I've seen since the first time I watched Rejected in a theater. Bravo, @bencollins.bsky.social - this deserves a fucking Oscar.

God bless B. Kliban.

The day y'all motherfuckers realize that the Rule Of Law already died?

That's going to be an interesting day.

Yeah, that'll stop them.

100% this. I went out and got beer on my lunch break today, and got home within 15 minutes.

Can't do that at the homestead, the nearest beer store is half an hour out.

That said, I've no problem giving up this convenience just to go back to blessed peace and fucking quiet.

Oh hey bud we're running low on toothpaste, can you just nip out to the store and buy some for us? Much appreciated, thanks, text me when you're on your way back.

Things I haven't missed:
- Humidity
- Mosquitoes
- Traffic
- Dallas Drivers
- CONSTANT. FUCKING. NOISE.
