    I don't think the American state has the capacity to implement something like this at scale any longer

    I like growing food, but that failson doesn't seem to realize that land is all hoarded up by fuckers like him. Or maybe he does and wants people to grow his food for him free of charge.

      I'll be a serf if I get to own my own land and house and just have to give him a percentage.

        Oh fuck, most Americans are precarious enough that they could step in line with being serfs. I can't even judge.

      they really did the first time too (in nazi germany some of the first people to be executed were the mentally ill, along with anarchists and communists).

    This isn’t gonna happen for the same reason I’ve never been fucked with once the entire 7-ish years I’ve been on the streets: you don’t wanna fuck with crazy.

    If they try this shit there are going to be a lot of bombs, bullets, spit, blood, piss, and feces.

      no i think historically the state has fucked with crazy quite a lot and with few consequences, except maybe the unintended assassination of JFK

      bad take imo. underestimating how much they can get away with could give people a false sense of security, which will then be one of the things that allows them to actually commit such atrocities

    suddenly I remember why I used to agree with the right wingers about having an armed populace.

    Maybe I should've guessed they'd try to bring back sanitariums.

    This honestly has been like a recurring nightmare of mine. I just assumed nobody would have the audacity to try it nowadays, but more and more this country is capable of any horror I could conjure...

    As an armed leftist with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and life-long issues with sleep. I will not be taken without taking out as many of them as possible. brace-cowboy

    Anyone have a meme with the "Come and take it!" but with ADHD pills instead of the cannon and the wording "Come and take them!"?
