    The thing that makes them stupid is not their relationship with the land.

    It is their relationship with ethics. They don’t see “making everything worse” as a stupidity. They thrive off of living in a reaction, and our need to generate a “response” gives them more time to be reactionary.

    General strike is the only thing non-violent to do. Stop the cycle.

      This isn’t a new problem, and those weren’t my original words…

      Like, literally, the same type of people Blazing Saddles made fun of 50 years ago are the people in ICE today.

      They’re poor and uneducated and don’t understand they’re the problem. That doesn’t mean they don’t need stopped, but stopping them is easier when we understand why they’re so shitty. Even if they’re individually lost causes, we can at least narrow down the percentage in the next generation, but only if we understand why this keeps happening

      Stop buying from US oligarchs immediately.

      Cancel Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, cable, iCloud, everything that is not necessary.

      No consumption until this stops is a big part of the solution.

      Encourage people in other countries to start (or continue, as many of us already do) boycotting US companies, too.

      Hit them where it hurts them the most, they are dependent on the support of the US oligarchy.
