And will continue to do so until the citizens get serious about doing something. Reporting what they’re doing to the system that is doing this to them doesn’t really go far.

    Are you being combative and suggesting I’m a bot? I’m not saying that to be critical, it’s just reality. Realistically the only way out of this is an overthrow and rebuild. I’m saying that’s where citizens minds need to start seriously approach because they have been sleep walking for two years and now they have fuck all for power or leverage. Why does me saying that require that sort of accusation from you?

    It's neither. I'm highlighting a fact. We are near an election. Comments/posts either supporting violence or apathy peak during this time.

    But you still haven't recommended anything :(

    Well I guess the overthrow is my suggestion because that seems to be the only realistic way in the immediate future. Also mutual aid networks need to really start growing but both of those take a lot of participation and coordinating and people haven’t done much. Singular people can’t accomplish much by themselves and trying to work in the framework of this system isn’t going to change anything. The fact that it’s near elections wasn’t on my mind when I was commenting.

    This particular article specifically talks about organized groups tracking ICE.

    I don't think the organization aspect is the hard part. It's being willing to kill or be killed to "overthrow".

    Or convincing enough people that a revolution is the only way.

    Ok, but are you going to start organizing to accomplish that? Are you US American? Are you making an effort to work in your community to promote change?

    I'm trying but it's mostly helping other people and my neighbors
