Good. Love to see it.
Starve the beast. Don’t pay your taxes either. Go to HR and change your tax withholding to tax exempt.
You’ll catch fines eventually. But in the meantime your check will be a little bigger and you’ll be denying tax funds to a fascist government.
If we ever get a sane government I’ll pay those fines happily.
Fines? You’ll end up in the Tesla tunnels working until you starve to death
What do you mean? Isn’t The Boring Company the one that makes tunnels?
Boring Company tunnels just doesn’t have the same alliterative ring to it
“President Trump will do what President Trump wants to do. He has a plan, and I will play accordingly,” Goncalves said. “I’m a big boy. I bought Stelco knowing that Stelco is in Canada. And you know what? America first.” Lourenco Goncalves CEO of Stelco …purchased last year.
Republicans are good for the economy. /s
awesome
The video on that page is pretty interesting.
In the US. I hope this hits a lot of business (leopard eating face).

Let him. Stelco has regulations to follow. He can shut it down and then nobody gets steel and start fucking with trade agreements, but big corps aren’t gonna like his scorched earth tactics.
Let him burn it all to the ground so we can start moving the economy away from the US.

That’s why we as citizens need to organize and stand together in solidarity. Don’t depend on institutions to fight back.

So, to me it’s the shield over the sword.
You can do so much more good protecting, sharing resources, building community programs, etc. If they burn the country down to ash, well your oasis might survive.
Then for aggressive stuff, non-compliance would be way more effective. Think simple sabotage manual, a bit of sand really grinds up the gears of fascism.

with minimal effort
no, none of my action items are minimum effort, sorry. Defending democracy will never be a low strain activity. I’m organizing unions in my workplace by following the disruptive and worker-led Minnesota Model of organizing. We workers make the world go round. As the US labor movement gears up for a genuine general strike in 2028 (yes, we’re following through with Fain’s call to action), we need unions of all stripes to form. Labor unions, tenant unions, debtor unions, etc. Then after forming, we need unprecedented inter-union cooperation. It’s ok to be tired and burnt out. Let yourself recover, and then continue the good fight.
it sounds like you have put in a significant amount of good work

Wait until they see what other countries are willing to tolerate to decouple from the Nazi bully country.
Made in the USA is a mark of avoidance. Fuck visiting your country. I will sign up to die to defend Greenland from you for our friends the
DutchDanes.Edit: I’ll die for the Dutch or Danes against Trump.
What the hell do the Dutch have to do with Greenland?
They colonized it at the expense of the indigenous people.
I bet Trump thinks it would make a good golf course or some dumb nonsense but yeah this could pretty much end up getting the US booted from Nato and at war with it.

He’ll change his tune when he isn’t selling enough to run his garbage company.
It’s roughly 10% of our US steel supply (or around 40% of all of our steel imports)…meaning prices are going to start going up. This is going to hurt…
Things are escalating quickly. Good job, everyone. Maybe it can trigger a coup.
If they hold tight for a while, it’s going to be wild… I fear international business lords won’t let it happen.
Considering the fact we’ve been clapping “third world dictators” and installing others purely for profit or wouldn’t at all be surprising but you can bet it’ll be a weirdly confounding way. Ie. So unbelievably obvious and discrediting and yet so plausible no one can honestly tell if it’s fact or bullshit, coincidental or intentional.
Rest of the world understands solidarity better than U.S. voters
I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean.
It means I should have read the article before I posted that.
I actually agree that Americans don’t understand solidarity, because they’re soaked in neoliberal, individualistic ideology. But even if they did understand, they’re so lacking in class consciousness that they wouldn’t know what to rally around.

If I have to read “it’s not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom” one more goddamn time

They don’t have room for love.
They need lubensraum.
On the contrary, they’ll even dedicate a whole ministry to it.
Good for them. As an American I fully support them fighting back against our bullshit
Thanks. Remember, it’s nothing against you, or even against people who were lied to in order to get their vote.
At some point, some random billionaire will become slightly less billionaire-y and freak out about tariffs wrecking their bottom line. Until then, we’ve all got to grab on to our sanity and hodl like never before.
The problem is the billionaires are self radicalizing. They’re believing the lies they tell the poor, and that’s a dangerous feedback loop. Barry Goldwater was what they would’ve wanted had they been rational actors promoting fascism for their class interests. Even the “smart” ones like thiel are clearly losing it. They too were not immune to propaganda.
I’m not so certain. I think they’re perhaps opportunistic nihilists and have seen too deep into the abyss one too many times to know how to deal with the sheer amount of nothing they saw there.
and freak out about tariffs wrecking their bottom line.
Nooooooooo. You got it all wrong! (seriously)
The ruling class wants the tariffs because tariffs artificially increase the price of their competitors’ products! The entire point is to literally block people from getting a better deal outside of the US, so those same people can get screwed over domestically.
Tariffs are not good for the working class.
They only exist to protect the profits of the rulers.
I don’t doubt what you’re saying.
This all assumes that businesses and consumers can absorb the bump in prices due to the lack of a better deal. There are going to be plenty of construction contracts that Just Won’t Happen because they won’t be able to get the building materials they need to actually build something for a price that someone is willing to pay. That’s the kind of thing that can wreck a bottom line.
