Breathe

Can anyone recommend any resources, books or videos, that discuss what it's like to live in authoritarian states? Like, how to thrive and survive, overall morale, how people feel about the lack of rights, oppression in general, etc.

Part of it is the lobbying. I can't find the full length Al Jazeera video, maybe it was pulled from YouTube? But, I did find this clip from that video. This is from a report detailing that CNN and BBC didn't allow guests to use the word "genocide"

We thought the same about Jan 6th. I'm not quite so optimistic. One thing for sure, we need to keep fighting.

the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. (From here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/genocide) What do you find controversial here?

Probably? How about be sure about what you are saying before spreading rumors.

Massie said on twitter that the person was Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem (who has since resigned): https://bsky.app/profile/gtconway.bsky.social/post/3mejvheyvtc2g Massie then basically said, "If you find me dead, it wasn't by suicide": https://bsky.app/profile/alexip718.com/post/3mernbw3q4c2k Massie knows he just revealed some major shit and that his head is now on the chopping block. I wonder what will happen. In Russia, Massie would be a victim in a plane crash, fall off of a balcony, or die mysteriously of poison.

I don't know anyone that thinks that way. Maybe stay off of twitter

There are too many generalizations in your post and you exaggerate too much so I'm not sure how to engage in a serious way. You talk about liberals and conservatives as if both groups all think the same. Some might say that there are different types of socialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism#Varieties

Yeah, these guys definitely get it

@Elliott How do you define socialism? What do you consider socialist rhetoric?

The techno-fascists are seriously satan incarnates

Who would have thunk? He's such a standup guy! I mean, yeah.

@ted73104 His policy is power and attention. The rest is just icing on the cake.
