Well, I think what you're seeing from Minneapolis is a massive resistance movement that's giving the world great courage because to stand up against this fascist autocratic regime, the most powerful regime in the world with a goon squad that is funded alongside some of the best funded militaries in the world, it's very heroic for the world to see.

So Minneapolis is really representing.

And I think we can see that they don't have the manpower to lock down every American city.

If we can have Minneapolis and every American city in response to these ICE invasions, then I don't think, I don't see how they're going to succeed.

Now they're doing what every autocratic regime does, which is declare the truth.

So it's very obvious.

There's no connection between their declarations and reality.

We know the roadmap they want.

Stephen Miller has laid it out, and NSM7 has laid it out.

They want to say that the opposition party is our domestic terrorist, that anyone who's not wearing a MAGA hat is a domestic terrorist.

Now, they've gone too far.

I don't think they care about public opinion because they assume they have it all locked down.

But public opinion is not gonna go with them.

At this point, you've got to be pro-execution, pro-murder.

And I think there's a lot of debate happening

on social media where people are like, look, Black Americans have been gunned down in an arbitrary system of lawlessness for decades and decades and decades for all of American history.

And now, so this is really American history we're seeing.

Actually, this is classic fascism because fascism

So according to the imperial boomerang thesis of M.A.

Césaire, fascism is what happens when you treat your colonial population with brutality and then it gets generalized to everybody.
