    This is probably gonna be unpopular, but as someone from the global south I can’t help but feel just the tiniest bit of glee to see Gringos suffer a bit of what they have inflicted on our countries.

    Anyways, get a gun.

    They’re arresting people without warrants. They’re deporting people without due process. The whole purpose of the law (allegedly) is to provide a recourse when the state violates your rights. If people cannot depend on due process, the only obvious alternative is force. This is what they are preparing for.

    A serious message to all Americans:

    Start planning for the worst. Buy and learn how to use a firearm. Get all your passports and documentation up to date and on hand in case you need to flee. Do not give them an excuse to deny your exit from the States as they will do this if your papers aren’t all in order. Save up money in a foreign currency, learn a second language if you only know English.

    Do whatever you need to do in order to be able to flee the country. It might sound like fear mongering, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

    Time for EVERYBODY to start getting familiar with operating a firearm.

    And start operating from the frame of mind that you’re already dead if the cops get their foot in your door.

      Book description

      In his new book, critical theorist Mark Neocleous engages in a sustained critique of the theory and practice of pacification. Combining philosophical analysis with historical detail, Neocleous analyses the development of pacification as a key concept through which capitalist modernity has been organised, offering readers the first book that treats pacification as an important concept in the history of state power and capitalism. Neocleous’s approach is fourfold, examining pacification as social warfare carried out through the ideology of peace; as a form of social police carried out through mechanisms of security; as law and order exercised through the permanent wars of class society; and as the myriad practices of power designed to counter insurgency.

      Making use of official documents of state, the writings of counterinsurgency thinkers and the ideas perpetuated by practitioners of counterrevolution, the book unravels the complex ways through which pacification generates new forms of social war and new modes of policing that reproduce capitalist order and fabricate obedient subjects.

      Through expansive accounts of war and police, and engaging with a range of topics from debt to death, from stasis to civil war, and from the police kettle to the politics of fear, the book offers a provocative analysis of the ways in which state and capital combine to build a pacified social order.

    2025 “I can deputize tens of thousands of masked thugs to shoot innocent people and not lose a single supporter.”
