The shooting happened after the Department of Homeland Security sent more than 2,000 ICE agents to the Twin Cities in the "largest DHS operation ever."
First you’re European with no stake in our game. You swear at me when I asked you what your plan was. Then you tell me to read books that I read in high school and talk to my neighbors. Solid.
Buddy… Are you serious? Both on a long time scale and on a much shorter one, my life is deeply influenced by what greedy shitty little American companies and politicians do, much to my dismay. From the climate, to global warfare, to the internet and surveillance capitalism, what are you talking about? I really say this with no offense, but Americans really have a misplaced sense of what power they have. They fail to see some that they have, and presume to have some that they don’t.
You swear at me when I asked you what your plan was.
You’re right, “fuck off” was a bit strong, and I was swearing because I’m upset, but not by you, nor “at” you. I apologize, and please don’t take this personally. the message I wanted to say is don’t bring “huh so you think you know because you’re smart better and privileged?” energy, it doesn’t help anyone. It’s not about knowing the “right” thing to do, it’s about doing what we know in our heart is right. I really like the “History offers no control groups” quote, think it sums it up nicely.
Then you tell me to read books that I read in high school and talk to my neighbors. Solid.
I told you, I’m serious. If you can’t see the power of knowledge and community, I’m not sure what to tell you aside from please reconsider. Of course you can’t topple the government on your own. Learning from people who have seen and lived similar things, and talking with people that are experiencing the same thing as you, is not a dumb thing to do.
