Well, when the people in charge make abiding by laws means you sit quietly waiting to die, protesting is illegal, dissent is illegal, and even having a negative opinion of them is grounds for being mentally unfit, well there's not much you can do inside the confines of their laws.
Laws are not inherently moral or just. They will have to be broken, and by many MANY people. As my dad used to say " 'you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands' just leaves you a crazy lone gunman dead in the street" he was just making fun of movies when he said it, but to me it's a call to organize.
Honestly I don't see why any person would want to force someone else to take hormones as a contraceptive when non-hormonal contraceptives work. And the fact that it's pill form makes it super easy. Literally not even an inconvenience. Just toss it back in the morning. Boom. Done.
Oh okay, I'll continue buying from businesses that only pay LIP SERVICE to nazis, and be sure to closely observe each business that does this to determine which actually believe the nazi rules they comply with instead of just pretending to.
When a fascist regime says jump, and all the businesses jump, you don't stop and ponder which businesses only pretended to jump.
Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.
"yeah this thread is discussing how the American people are actively burning teslas and dealerships and all that but ameriturds totally won't do anything"
I'm watching news every day about how the Turd Reich is cracking down on anything that opposes them, but yeah the people totally aren't doing a thing.
The pearl clutching of many non-north American people is becoming nearly comedic.
It's always been "you shouldn't lump everyone on that label as the same because they aren't" up to now, so it sure is "confusing" as to why suddenly all Americans bad.
Until citizens can pressure those in government to uphold the rule of law and create/enforce consequences for unlawful actions, this sort of thing will unfortunately continue.
Yeah, the only way this is happening from now on in the US is for some very much not legal things to happen.
But hey, didn't someone recently say something about whoever saves their country commits no crime?
Um..... "it doesn't matter that the very thing used to elect this person wewas rigged to specifically elect this person, you still elected this person"
Think about that for a second and get back to us on the logic behind it.
If I've got my CCW on me and I see a bunch of dudes in masks and no description clothing trying to force someone, especially a woman, into a vehicle, then I'm drawing and not stopping to ask questions.
Honestly I wonder if they're just waiting for that to happen so they can use it as an excuse to be even more brazenly brutal and operate even more openly.
This is not "I am an American and you should let me in" it's very much "I'm fleeing my country for political persecution please allow refugees in from this shit hole country"
Good to know nationalism, inhumane conditions, and good old fashioned concentration camps are acceptable as long as it's "hurting the right people"!
I have been filling out applications recently and one place wanted me to download a mobile app that would record camera and microphone stuff while I filled out the application
Another company wanted me to record responses on a Webcam.
My favorite group I have ever DMd for was at a convention, it was 2am, and nobody had ever met before except the two couples in the mix of 9. I just ran part of a campaign I was working on for a different group.
I barely had to interact with them for RP stuff unless it was to drive the plot, or play a character they convinced to join them.
It was great seeing a large muscular guy dressed like a Dwarven blacksmith role play a halfling, and the smallest person there was playing as a half-orc barbarian from the plains of icewind dale.
And of course since it was a convention, and some of them had LARP gear with them, a friendly competitive sword fight broke out during a rest and instead of rolling, they just went ahead and used foam swords and stepped away from the tables. And borrowed dialogue from the princess bride.
Most groups definitely prefer combat, and to be honest so do I unless I'm running the game. Maybe I just haven't played with the right group or character, or more likely I just suck at it. Either way...
I think everyone has "that one group" they wish they could play with forever and never have scheduling conflicts...
