    When slavery was an institution, “drapetomania” (the pathological urge to escape from one’s masters) was recognised as a mental illness. The USSR had “sluggish schizophrenia” (whose symptoms matched the behaviour of dissidents), with which a lot of troublemakers were diagnosed and permanently institutionalised. The more things change…

    A LOT of people here are making fun of this going 'haha they’re the stupid ones" but I don’t think many of you realize what this will entale for protesters now. This should be deathly scary to you, this is really really bad.

      Declare dissidents mentally ill. Commit them to mental institutions against their will. Now they can be held indefinitely without even needing to bring charges against them. It is scary and bad.

        5150 only applies to things in the dsm5 or idc11 and I haven’t heard any medical society attempt to add it to either.

        Exactly, many protesters aren’t taking any of this seriously enough. They are going to vary likely kill these people or lock them in a padded cell, drugged stupid for the rest of your lives. And people wonder why I get so hostile towards these protesters, they’re not taking this as seriously as they should be.

          We literally just had a discussion that made it clear you don’t know what’s happening in MN and that you outright reject the fact that we know with clear heads and open eyes what we’re facing.

            Looks like someone is still angry, see what I mean. You blocking shipping trucks at target will not stop people from getting dragged off to a padded cell. Stop wasting my time. (edit) if you think i dislike the protesters for just resisting at this point and not resisting hard enough, you specifically have actual problems beyond trump, they are trying to put you and your allies in a padded cell and your seeing red attacking me while the regime is ramping up force against you.

              You really don’t like it when you’re confronted by one of the protesters you’re so upset at. We know what is happening and the threats we are facing.

              You just want to paint us and our resistance as ineffectual, despite mobilizing the first mass strike in North America since 1934 (also in Minneapolis, mind you). A mass strike that was successful at decimating the fascist forces in our state.

              In response to your edit specifically, I literally only have to look 2 comments up within this thread to where you said with your own words that you were hostile to protesters. I can and will point out all the other times you’ve shown your dislike towards people fighting against fascism.

    Each time I hear or read something from Trump I find him pretty deranged.
    But that is not what they mean, right?

    There’s only one group of people who ride around with flags, hats and cars with a fat, old pedophiles name written all over them.
