President Donald Trump told Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele he wanted to send "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador next and encouraged Bukele to build more prisons.
I hear this all over Lemmy. So which improvised weapons have you crafted to oppose this regime? It’s like you expect the rest of us to do it. Give your nutsack a tug and lead on.
I suppose one could start hoarding glass bottles and gasoline/styrofoam gel.
I’ve done neither of those things, but I have read Mila 18 a bunch of times, so I guess there’s that. Oh, and I do have at least one board with a nail sticking out of it somewhere behind the shed.
Look, I’m not going to take up arms against the government. Not going to happen.
You want people to invade state houses? What’s the goal here?
My Senators haven’t done shit to slow the administration down and I have a feeling they will pay for it. Bennet wants to be Governor but we can primary him. Hickenlooper is just as feckless as ever and I’ll try to primary him again too.
My Representative has been vocal about the administration and has been pointing affected constituents to various resources to help them. Not much else they can do in the House right now.
It seems that I must repeat this to non-Americans until the heat-death of the universe:
To attempt to overthrow a government by force that has, at its disposal, swathes of 5th generation multirole fighter aircraft, drones with Hellfire missiles, and an army of sycophants more than willing to gun down their brother and sister citizens is a fool’s errand for suicidal rubes.
The thing with the flour soaked in diesel really wouldn’t work.
If you want to do anything with flour you have to disperse it in the air and then ignite it, so that you can take advantage of the huge surface area of the particles mixed into the ready supply of oxygen in the air. If you want to see how this sort of thing goes down, look up grain silo explosions which is precisely this but happening by accident. Getting the stuff wet will turn it into a gloopy pasty mess which is totally counterproductive for this sort of thing.
Related rando fun fact: The deep orange and red, smoky, mushroomy fireballs you see erupting out of the ground in movies/TV/Top Gear/etc. are dispersed powder explosions typically made with a lift charge and a small amount of powdered non-dairy coffee creamer.

I’d say but I don’t want a visit from the alphabet boys
Sane take. Keep your head low and wait.
Well, this would be a noble start: Guerilla Shotgun

So what are you doing as an American?
You expect the rest of the world to act for you, while you sit back and disparage people talking about a solution.
I’m not asking for shit, 'cause I know none of you can do a damn thing.
Yeah because I’m not in your country, you are, and your inaction is allowing innocent people to suffer.

The goal is overthrowing fascism, or at the least crippling it into inaction. Taking out leadership achieves that.
Do not delude yourself that you’re going to win this at the polls, there will be no fair election to win. Trump has free rein to do as he pleases.

Wildcat Strikes are de wei.
It seems Americas love fascism on their shores and refuse to fight it.
You are not fighting the military, you are fighting a few thousand rich old fucks with names and addresses.
Why improvise? I can walk into a store and leave with a rifle and armor piercing rounds
