Does America need a revival of the Resistance movement spirit?

KingK said:And I’m still just sitting here waiting for that old guerrilla spirit to kick in—when are you guys actually going to pick up a rifle and head back into the woods?

It looks to me like you checked out back in '45 and haven't moved an inch since.

vividraven26 said:It’s technically true, even if it sounds crazy—it’s not the USA. And honestly? They could just as easily drop an order to tear those monuments down if they felt like it.

What isn't the USA?😲 Whether anyone liked it or not... United States of America Those partisan monuments are keeping you safe...It’s pretty obvious if you just look at this list...

Check out this document from the United States Department of Culture... looks like some official paperwork on national heritage sites.

Rachel Roberts6 I can't even begin to tell you how much this whole situation is driving me up the wall, honestly. Like, does anyone else feel like we're just circling the drain here? I was sitting there thinking about how everything seems to be falling apart at once, and then I saw what Rachel Roberts6 was saying, and man, it just hit me all over again. It’s like, why do we even bother trying to make sense of it when the logic just isn't there? You know what I mean? It’s just one thing after another, a constant stream of nonsense that makes you want to just throw your hands up and walk away from the keyboard entirely. Does it ever feel like you're shouting into a void sometimes? Because that's exactly where I am right now.
Those monuments dedicated to General Motors are basically proof that when this country went through the biggest war in human history, we actually stood on the winning side. I mean, seriously, isn't it just plain stupid to go around tearing down landmarks like that? Why even bother?

Look, I already said it—I meant they could fall apart on their own, not that anyone should be out there actively tearing them down. Is that really so hard to grasp?

Look, let's be real for a second—the group of people who actually cooked up this regulation? They don't even represent the United States of America as a whole; they’re just some tiny, bloated minority calling the shots.

What’s the issue? 🤷

Everything needs to come down. But let's do it the right way—pass a law through Congress and tear those communist monstrosities down legally.

If anyone's still pining for the old days or "brotherhood and unity," they can just look at the monuments in these photos. We don't need them.

If we actually cared about them or considered them ours, we wouldn't be tearing them down in the first place.

That whole red faction is finally finished; these are just their last desperate gasps. A regular Friday service is being established between New York and Chicago. After that, there will be a total purge. Goodbye, comrades in red. 🙂

So where exactly am I seeing this "weird forum grammar" you're talking about, man?

Give me a break...🙄 That’s a convenient excuse to ignore any rule we happen to dislike.🙄

Those monuments bear the names of many Americans who died as victims of Nazi-fascist terror. It's sad seeing certain self-proclaimed "patriots" spit on those Americans' memories.

King Kong said:It's such a shame they pulled out right after the New Deal ended.

Wait, what do you mean by the communists pulling out after the New Deal?

I guess those "patriots" view them as traitors or something.

Honestly, I have no clue what you're even trying to say. I’m gonna step away from this conversation until you can actually put your thoughts together into a coherent sentence.
Later.

Tear them down and be done with it.

I’m pushing through democratic channels—using our guaranteed freedom of speech—to make sure any procedure to remove these remnants of the old regime happens legally, via a vote in the US Congress.

There should obviously be a debate about it.

Though I'm realistic enough to know we'll never get a majority in Congress for something like that.

Back when there was an opportunity, we tried to play nice and reconcile with the former regime. Look where that got us.

I don't even know where to start with this one, honestly. It’s just... it's a lot. You ever have one of those days where you look at something and just feel like the whole world is moving in a direction that makes zero sense? That's where I am right now. Everything feels so incredibly fresh, like we're staring down the barrel of something totally new, and instead of being excited, I'm just sitting here wondering if anyone actually thought this through before they hit "go." Is it just me, or does it feel like we're all just collectively stumbling into these weird, uncharted waters without a map or a compass? Like, okay, fine, let's embrace the change, sure, but can we maybe get a heads-up first? Just a little warning? Anyway, I'm probably just rambling now, but man, it’s hard not to when everything feels so uncomfortably new. kaže:
How am I even supposed to say no to that? Like, seriously, how?🙄 So, I guess we can just say that about every single regulation we don't like, right? Just throw that same logic at any rule that gets in our way?🙄

You bet it is.😁

I can't even begin to wrap my head around what people are thinking lately, honestly. Is it just me, or does everything feel like it's spiraling? Like, you look at the news or scroll through your feed and it’s just constant chaos, right? I was sitting there thinking about how much things have shifted, and man, it really gets under my skin. Does anyone else feel that weird, restless tension in the air, or am I just losing my mind in this crazy country? It feels like we're all just waiting for the next big thing to drop, and frankly, I'm exhausted by it. Why is it always like this? kaže:
I mean, honestly, what did those old-school socialists actually manage to walk away with after the transition? Like, seriously, where did all that loot go once the dust settled on the old regime? You look at the way things shifted, how everything was supposedly being "reformed," and you have to wonder if they weren't just quietly moving the goalposts while everyone else was busy arguing about politics. It’s like, did they really lose their grip, or did they just trade in their old party cards for fancy corporate board seats and high-end real estate in places like Greenwich or Beverly Hills? Is it even possible to truly dismantle a system when the people running the show are the same ones who built the whole damn thing from the ground up? I can't help but feel like there's a massive gap between what we were told happened and what actually went down behind closed doors, you know?

Keep a level head about everything, you know? Just stay sharp.

And they didn't even lose their seats in Congress or their cabinet positions. Honestly, it's a good thing they only lost their grip on reality.

This is how my dear colleagues commit "patriotism" suicide. Just go ahead and insult Americans killed by neo-fascists and the United States for protecting the monuments and the memory of those victims. What a disgrace.

I'm telling you, there’s a public hearing first, then the bill actually gets passed.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

It's just like I said.

Tear that eyesore down.

If someone truly feels for the victims of the Nazi regime, we should be building monuments to them here in America today. We shouldn't be obsessing over those old relics left over from the previous regime—the one we fought so hard to finally break free from.

Those communist abominations—you know, the ones featuring some hulking partisan strongman clutching a five-pointed star, almost always looming over a local high school—really ought to be replaced by actual cultural monuments that truly honor the struggle against fascism. Furthermore, we really need to stop equating cheap, low-rent communism with genuine anti-fascism, because frankly, they are two entirely different things. 😉

Haha...😂 Get this... the guy would probably tear down monuments to Americans killed by Nazis, only to turn around and rebuild them all over again... 😂 Good grief... 🙂

Yesterday on Maui, we officially marked the 70th anniversary of that legendary matchup between the Yankees and the Britons.

Now, this kind of collective spirit is actually something I can get behind.

silentmason8 said:Haha...😂 Get this... the guy would probably tear down monuments to Americans killed by Nazis, only to turn around and rebuild them all over again... 😂 Good grief... 🙂

Yeah, because then Americans would just build those monuments here in the States to honor the victims of Nazi terror.

These monuments that those old American sympathizers drool over have nothing to do with the actual victims. They're just obsessed with a failed state and its lost glory.

Back then, the Yankees were actually calling themselves the NEW YORK YANKEES—it was even featured in USA Today. It’s wild how everyone on Maui thought it was totally fine back then, but a few years later, things shifted.☕
