Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids in Southern California.
Look at a map. Talk to the people in all the places you’d have to go through. Maybe if they let this die down, and start it with something other than a police action. But if this goes hot? From fed cops? No. The sierra-nevadas may as well be in afghanistan.
I used to live in the Western foothills of the valley… it’s mostly empty rolling hills dude.
The logistics of getting food to stores is complex and it really wouldn’t take much but some instability to cause major food insecurity in the majority of the country.
True, it wont be universal. I’m even seeing people in OC upset about this though, and if the admin’s lost them, they’ve lost every major foothold with californians. Maybe downtown palo alto, for about five minutes. Maybe san diego, if they skew the demographics with a few aircraft carriers-but theres not much food between there, mexico, and the mountains.
I think you are overestimating the amount of people who would transition from being upset to taking up arms against the government. Most people barely pay attention to politics.
You don’t even know what a maoist ‘people’s war’ even is, and that’s likely the doctrine they’ll start with. You certainly don’t know who the panthers were, or the kinds of people they were. You don’t know what or where you’re talking about.
Lol, the CCP were fighting with much more than just small arms. They and the kmt were both supplied by the US and the Soviets against the Japanese.
You certainly don’t know who the panthers were, or the kinds of people they were. You don’t know what or where you’re talking about.
The Black Panthers never went to war with a military… Fred Hampton was murdered by regular cops with pistols shotguns and rifles.
Just because I don’t buy into your delusion that all of California is going to rise up and defeat aircraft carriers with som Glock and some semi auto rifles, doesn’t mean I don’t know about leftist revolutions.
Chuds can’t and wont do real work. Not in numbers, anyway.
Chuds already manage the farms and ranches in Cali.
Notoriously productive resilient and efficient with their military resources: Slave States!
Yes, because there’s no historical evidence of militant police states being able to feed themselves…
You play too many fucking map view strategy games. Go outside, maybe read a book. Or at least play the more complicated map games.
Lol, dude. You are projecting… You sound exactly like all the come and take it right winged chuds who thinks they’re going to turn into Rambo over night.
I have lived all over the state. I know it pretty well. I don’t think you do.
logistics are hard
Yeah. That’s what i said. I didn’t say we would stay healthy, i said they couldn’t starve the people without going hungry themselves. Im sure they could just burn it all. Might not even take two people, with enough gear. It is that season, after all.
chuds
Yeah they own stuff. But i buy my groceries from these peoples’ families, and they arent all cool with this. Also, fuck who owns it, who do you think does the labor?
the panthers didnt
No. But you just kind of ignored everything i said so you could say something technically true and put it where a response to me would go.
Yeah. That’s what i said. I didn’t say we would stay healthy, i said they couldn’t starve the people without going hungry themselves.
Lol, shifting the goal post …your original claim was that people in certain areas would be fine living off the land if the government theoretically cut off the food supply. You then shifted the argument to the government cannot shut off the food supply. You then went into some weird delusional fantasy that Californians would rise up and take down aircraft carriers with missiles.
Yeah they own stuff. But i buy my groceries from these peoples’ families, and they arent all cool with this.
Aren’t cool with isn’t the same as willing to indulge your weird ass fantasy land where they become freedom fighters.
Yes some people are willing to do violence to preserve their rights, but most people are just trying to live their lives and fly under the radar. Which is why history is filled with tragedy and injustice.
But you just kind of ignored everything i said so you could say something technically true and put it where a response to me would go.
What part did I ignore? You brought up incorrect facts about the CCP and the Black Panthers, which I addressed accurately.
I just think you like to speak before you think. We’re not in a romantic novel, life is hard and the good guys don’t always win. I’m not trying to discourage you, I’m just trying to temper your optimism with the reality of what happens to the vast majority of revolutionary forces.

Don’t get me started.
So i got you?
Again, projecting…

You were the one who brought it up?
So you don’t know what projection is?
