    They are preparing for an uprising, the USA will have its own Tiananmen Square soon the way things are going. If we don’t stop these things now, one of us is going to be Tank Man, standing with a bag of groceries, in front of an armored death machine on its way to kill students, and we’re all going to have to start making decisions about whether that’s the kind of country we want to live in. Good luck, and for the record, Tank Man was never seen again. This is what’s at stake. Universities having military equipment is not a joke, it’s not a mistake, and it’s not normal.

      Tank Man was never seen again because no one, not even the CCCP, has been able to conclusively prove his identity. He remains anonymous to this very day, which is exactly something what would terrify the current regime. It’s also unlikely any of us would enjoy that luxury.

      When it comes time to fight, remember that there can be no half measures this time.

      we already did, in Ohio some years back.

      american capitalism has ensured the bulk of us are too sick and/or tired to uprise.
