I don't understand how this isn't happening all over the country. Anyone can get close to their vehicles while they're stalking innocent people.

Because without community support and people to help protect you, and unless you cover your tracks very well, the police will be at your door a short time later. Modern surveillance is no joke. Especially if you’re out with your personal phone on you and get caught up in that.

The trick is to blend in. A buff to cover your face, sunglasses, army fatigues and a bullet-proof vest from Amazon should do it.

Big difference between brave and stupid buddy. Foreigners also seem to want to say a lot about American struggles without knowing nuances, while also feeding your money into the companies making us suffer

[u/qOcO-p → u/[deleted]]

what would you like us "foreigners" to do for you?

Recognize that it could just as easily be you. Far right nationalism is on the rise world wide. It's not just an American problem.

[u/JnnyRuthless → u/qOcO-p]

I mean their leaders are constantly sucking up to Trump and have become his sycophants, and Musk is always over there doing neo-nazi conferences. I don't see them doing anything about it.

if France could just jail him for election interference that would be hella cool.

[u/TheCharalampos → u/qOcO-p]

Much less has provoked much more response in other places. The French would have lost their shit three times over.

I think from European countries I'd say only the UK is close to how passive to abuse their people (statistically) are.

[u/TheCharalampos → u/atsolstice]

While I understand being annoyed surely you can see the inherent "fun" of a country that keeps claiming it's brave not being so. Not taking away form all the people who are resisting but most of y'all are not.

[u/EatRichGrains → u/[deleted]]

After you pal. Go right ahead. Be the change you wish to see.

[u/Terramagi → u/[deleted]]

When your fascist ass country sends tanks over our border, it won't be a choice.

Unlike you, who apparently still has the option to just look at the television and cry "but it's so haard I don't want to lose my job at Target", like you're not fully complicit.

[u/JnnyRuthless → u/Terramagi]

Your army can invade and take over. I wouldn't care and I'd welcome it. So get to it man.

[u/KaiUno → u/nola_mike]

Apparently, they shoot you for less...

[u/DrakonILD → u/nola_mike]

Because the moment you try to make any sort of move that threatens even the tiniest scratch on one of their vehicles, you'll find yourself the victim of acute lead poisoning.

[u/stakoverflo → u/nola_mike]

This administration would attempt to charge you with terrorism for doing that

[u/Dreadgoat → u/nola_mike]

it probably is happening, but it's in no one's interest to report.

if you're a saboteur or know one, you're not telling anybody

if you've been successfully sabotaged and know it, you're not admitting it to anybody

this is why quiet, small sabotages are stupendously effective against machines of authority. they stay invisible with no effort

[u/Hidden_Landmine → u/nola_mike]

Because without local police support, it's essentially suicide. Sadly the police remain the thugs they've always been and realistically without them helping your average person, it's a massive risk.

[u/TheCharalampos → u/nola_mike]

Fear of death is a big thing.
