The stretched supply lines of walking out your front door to yell at the pigs while they brutalize your neighbor.
fuck off pigs! op! forgot my mittens. back in a jiffy.Hey, can you give me some context. Cause this is not a good look mate.
because i used grillman? i debated internally which emoji to represent a generic neighborly minnesotan who has suddenly found themselves labeled as “antifa” for their opposition to the occupation forces.
why did i settle on grillman? it’s perhaps an interesting question. it seemed good enough for my purpose and i didn’t want to spend overly much time deciding, and so i picked grillman. but perhaps you object to the decision because grillman represents to you the intentionally oblivious beneficiary of imperial dividends. and fair enough. but does grillman lack all revolutionary potential? is the occupation not igniting that revolutionary spark that exists whenever grillman can grill not just for himself, but for his neighbors?
that revolutionary spark that exists whenever grillman can grill not just for himself, but for his neighbors?
I applaud this beautiful post
Tagline worthy
Thank you for the clarification. The reason it looked like you were mocking revolutionary action is not because of the pic but because what you said lacked so much context. It was a 50/50 whether it was mocking the hoi head or infantilizing revolutionary minnesotans. I simply just didnt know which one.
It’s riffing on a couple midwestern stereotypes, like saying “ope” apologetically when passing close by someone
And explaining that “antifa supply lines” are 2 blocks back to where you live.
Im not sure about that. It looks like fae are mocking revolutionary action.
It really doesn’t.
Erm nnot a good look buddy 🤓
Jfc 2016-tier twitter comment. I’ve no idea what would even be the bad look
are the supply lines in the room with us?
What in the Napoleon-brained shit is this?
That would be correct if this were a war between two armies using traditional battle lines lmao.
This is more like an occupation force vs a bubbling insurgency that hasn’t yet boiled over into a true insurgency. All violence used against the population actually strengthens the “insurgents” unless it’s a huge, decisive and crushing use of force to push people inside and off the streets.
Ice is running airplanes to Texas daily, and driving people in from staging grounds in Wisconsin. They’re being followed and harassed wherever they travel, and beseiged while they sleep in a constantly rotating cycle of hotels.
Minnesotans are hunkering down in the comfort of their homes, and at worst, when an area gwts too hot, staying at a friend’s house. Supplies are being shipped cross-town for free to vulnerable people, to protests, and in all likelihood, to underground orgs, all with little disruption.
It is not Minnesota whose logistics are under threat. And no, “the cold” is not slowing Minnesotans down. It’s incredibly stupid to think they don’t know how to deal with winter when they incessantly brag about how cold it is any time anybody from anywhere south of The Lake of the Woods besides them dares to allude to winter weather
While corny, fascists at least have a more material look on the situation. Libs really need to ditch their trust of institutions and idealistic outlook if they want to have any chance of resisting fascist domination. PSL’s leadership would be immensely useful here.
My understanding is that PSL is leading much of the organizing effort, but they aren’t big enough to do it all on their own.
extended supply lines
you mean wal mart, bozo?
I mean the line of thought is correct if you flip everything about it like this is the exact inverse of my “it’d be a shame if anything happened to ICE during this giant winter storm where they can’t easily leave or receive reinforcements” but yes you got me all I do is play Paradox games (not HOI though i can’t get into it)
Hearts of Iron is the best military game of all time and it’s completely unplayable
when mods add .1 AA to infantry units and late-game you have Revolutionary Cleetus in the midwest, hiding amongst the corn-fields, plinking down fighter jets with his armalite.
Shadow Empire would like a word.
Well there’s another game I’m gonna have to get a twenty hour course to play now (I say that in excitement tho)
being unplayable is no excuse to not play a paradox game
i avoid hoi4 because i need more to my strategy games than just the one war. at least 100 years of econ and social change so i see how much better I am than the braindead ai
Fr tho. Their units work on a different ruleset.
Send in the clergy! They can move diagonally. Quickly legalize nobility and knight some of the ICE so they can move in an L shape.
They can’t get knighted until they reach the Canadian border though. And at that point you’re probably better off force-femming them anyway
imagine having this kind of HOI brain but not accounting for the obvious regional passive buff in cold weather that minnesota has. fucking pathetic strategy gamers.
Just take lenningrad menality
The last time there was a “war of attrition” in Minnesota that lasted years, the left won a new deal. A massive victory, but this time there can be no deal. “These revolutions only strengthened the machine.”
Yeah insurgencies never outlast conventional militaries! /s
In the world’s most crowded place with nihilistic terrorists not even one seems even accidentally willing to do something good.
Meaning they will absolutely be needed to be exterminated if something VERY GOOD happen.
Thinking antifa is a formal/conventional military is… bizarre lmao. Like infinitely more bizarre than (wrongly) thinking antifa is a terrorist org.
