EARLY ACCESS: Is The US a Police State?
Added 2024-07-12 01:35:55 +0000 UTCHowdy, friends! This time we're taking a look at the logic of the US carceral system to answer the question that's increasingly on people's minds...is the US a police state? With crackdowns on student protests, redefining peaceful assembly, and attempting to silence dissent, it's no wonder people are starting to ask these questions. Hope you enjoy!

Hell yea it is ! 213 billion Fiat bloodmoney wannabe jokes of a shit-show since 1971 with nixon for a "switch and bait" for OIL 🛢 is the main ROOT of the problem for seeing 👀 the 11 million dollars a minute for dirty petro-dollar's is the problem!

2024-07-15 01:08:00 +0000 UTCHey JT, I’m curious how you got the WhatsApp chat logs of the Zoom call of billionaires with Eric Adams. That seems like it should be pretty explosive stuff and reported broadly.

2024-07-12 22:06:08 +0000 UTCThe system in US Police State wants you to shut up, work for the corporate system that doesn't pay you enough to live a comfortable normal life, pay your taxes, and follow the "law" (which only applies to 99% of the US population), and if you break the "law", well then, there's the police!

2024-07-12 14:23:07 +0000 UTCWell, it didn't really surprise me too much to see Canada, where I'm watching events down south with dismay, be #2 on that list. I've been arrested by and dealt with cops who know that "knowing your rights" is just someone to whom a lesson must be given. But I suppose that three former colonies of England being at the top isn't shocking. What is shocking is that it's just as you had THE TEMERITY to state here- it's become normal. The first time I saw a monstrous armoured assualt vehicle with tires pretty much level with my eyes tooling down Dundas St. here in London, in the middle of the afternoon for no apparent reason was unnerving. So, how far are they willing to go? I mean on societal metric, as DEATH has obviously been long formalized as appropriate in America and really, here too. Canada and the US occupy a unique geopolitical position as two capitalist, settler colonial states which share an extremely long common border, are absolutely interdependent economically and who have mutual advantage in pursuing the same political agendas. Canadians aren't "nice"; it's just a little less volatile up here. Except in Toronto, London, the Golden Horseshoe, Winnipeg, Alberta(🙃), and will actually Montréal was pretty chill when last I was there. And our modern police are gearing up. We have an election soon too and Justin? If Trump and the Conservatives both get in, you'll see El Norte becoming one large rightist coalition. At least we have a few other options too vote for. Thank you for stepping up and showing the face of injustice with conviction. The good kind

2024-07-12 10:25:38 +0000 UTCWhere I live (QLD Australia) the state created anti-protester legislation, or rather, harsher punishment for anyone caught engaged in disruptive protest in order to quell the climate rebellion people. It's better here than America for police brutality, but the graph goes: America, Canada, then Australia. So despite having the most peaceful populace of comparable countries, by a lot, we remain third in police violence against said peaceful citizenry. It could be argued that Australia is more of a police state than America. But it's not, it's just more of a nanny state that has police state aspirations. It's good to have goals.

2024-07-12 06:26:28 +0000 UTCYes. It always has been. It’s only become obviously so since the group the police and other government institutions represents has shrunk to now incorporate only the richest few percent of the population.
