Alito’s draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not “deeply rooted in history.”

General strike? All we have to do is collectively put our hands in our pockets and the ruling class is licked. In theory.

In real life, [REDACTED]

They just killed a million Americans to protect the rich from losing profits during a the 2 week lockdown we needed but never got. The violence that would be brought against people participating in a general strike would be pretty bad.

the violence we are enduring now is pretty bad. at least if we jump out of the frying pan we stand a chance of escaping the fire.

I mean I’m never gonna rule out the power of organizing, but I don’t think the majority of Americans care enough to do a general strike

The problem is the sophistication and ubiquity of the propaganda system, it just works too fucking well. I honestly have no clue how to overcome it, even with events sometimes sparking serious moments of political unrest, the steady hammer of official narrative always successfully reasserts the status quo.

The option of a general strike is at least a decade away.

If a judge gets blown up followed by a liberal replacement the result would be fascist revolution.

yes. but if a handful of senators became properly afraid of the people–as they should be in a functioning democracy anyway–they might do good things and that wouldn’t necessarily lead to a fascist revolution.

The senators are already afraid - of a fascist revolution. The capitol riot did that.

idk the situation on the ground in America, but you should have a ton of LGBT advocacy groups. This isn’t like worker’s rights where you have to start at zero, the organizational groundwork to push back against this has already been done. You can contact local LGBT orgs about this stuff and see what they’re up to and how you can help.

The sickest thing about them using this rhetoric is that British and American imperialism killed off thousands of leftist Muslims and directly funded the rise of Wahabbism, in general, and the House of Saud, in particular. The CIA wanted to “guide the evolution of Islam”. There was a book written in the 1880s, Memoirs of Mr. Hempher, The British Spy to the Middle East or Confessions of a British Spy purporting to be the account of a 1700s British agent, Hempher, of his instrumental role in founding the conservative Islamic reform movement of Wahhabism, as part of a conspiracy to corrupt Islam. Wikipedia dismisses this as “anglophobia” and yet looking at what the CIA and British intelligence did in the 20th century, is it really inconceivable that anglo imperialists have been funding reactionary strains of Islam for 300 years now?
