I would presume that they are talking about the federal bill Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act of 2023 and one in Illinois. If I'm understanding this correctly, after over a 100 years the Potawatomi band right to sovereignty as guaranteed by a 200 year old treaty is being debated in both the US congress and Illinois congress.

Reading in to this makes me want to go to a protest in DeKalb county as according this NBC news

Many residents who live next to the park oppose the plan, fearing construction of a casino or even a hotel would draw more tourists and lead to a larger, more congested community.

“Myself and my family have put a lot of money and given up a lot to be where we are in a small community and enjoy the park the way that it is,” resident Becky Oest told a House committee in May, asking that the proposal be amended to prohibit construction that would “affect our community. It’s a small town. We don’t want it to grow bigger.”

I'd want to tell them "Land back and I'll go away."

I suspect that trauma is being a tool of reactionaries to create more reactionaries. Imagine starving and having the media tell you it's because of X-men (lgbt+, other race, other religion, ect). European elites told their citizens that god was punishing them because the Jews in the 15th(?) century, so the Jews were expelled. Over time the elite began to realize they could escape judgement for poor leadership and remain unquestioned as long as there was an "other" they could blame and punish. The leadership did not wish to be judge, so the leadership found a scapegoat.

During the rise of industrialization through capitalism, they need more scapegoats, so they found more. By indicating to people that wealth and private property were signs of good morals, they were able to claim a moral high ground in the eyes of the traumatized. So by spreading this logic in areas where the population hadn't yet recovered from a shock, they are able to spread fascism. Lots of countries have dealt with trauma without turning fascist. Trauma can absolutely help create fascists though.

Trauma to create fascism is basally a few steps:

Step 1:

Man made trauma, economic, drug wars, colonization, slavery, cyclical capitalist crisis, war, disease

Step 2:

Blame the poor, or other, and flaunt wealth, so they know that the holder of the wealth is the good guy, not a thief.

Step 3:

Tie aid for recovery to demonstration of fascists ideas so that only fascists can thrive.

DSA communist paper says communists should join DSA. In other news red flags are indeed red.

There are few people more dangerous than fascists who have read Marx. How do we survive her presidency?

Didn't Biden say the same thing?

She is a cop, the other guy's a criminal.

Jill Stein and Claudia De la Cruz are the only candidates worth considering.

The only 2 candidates I'd consider voting for are Claudia De la Cruz and Jill Stein. I think I'm going to go with Jill because if I'm not mistaken, technically there is chance she could get the electoral votes needed to be elected. It's like 1 in a million though, but there's a chance.

We cannot be free until Palestine free. This the reason. The oppression of Palestine is the blueprint for oppression around the world.

Wiping out a military group is not the same as attacking civilians. Destroying military capability can bring peace, bombing civilians does not. Idf is military and its primary purpose appears to be the destruction of the Palestinians.
