As MAGA world rages about left-wing violence, the government appears to have removed a research paper showing contrary evidence.

    Once you lose hope for any change from peaceful resistance, that’s when it’s time to transfer over to more kinetic insurgency. It’s time to make American politicians and bureaucrats fear the people’s retribution again. If anything, I’d argue there isn’t nearly enough political violence from the left and that their peaceful complacency is what allowed fascism to flourish and gain power. It’s time to make bigots fear for their lives, IMO.

      This is exactly what the Trump administration is desperately hoping the left will do. Quit fedposting.

      Well, that, or emigrate and choose to contribute your skills and expertise to a country/region/polity that actually somewhat aligns with your values and ethics.

      And to that end, I’m seriously considering figuring out how to move to the EU, and perhaps even getting back into the defense industry, because I see the possibility of an open conflict between the US regime and the EU (which I see as perhaps the last bastion of democratic-government, flawed as it is in many ways) as a disturbingly nonzero eventuality.

      Not a career move I ever thought I’d reverse - NGC was interesting for a time when I was younger, but I pretty quickly decided that wasn’t where I wanted to pour my efforts. But priorities change, and exigencies develop.

      Put another way: the regime has completely forgotten where a lot of the scientists and engineers who made the Manhattan project happen, and later enabled the space race, came from.
