Interesting enough, that’s how the Berlin wall got taken down. It was announced in the news that it was happening immediately. The actual order was going to be the next day, but when people in the crowd started taking down the wall, no one stopped them. The soldiers were told to just stand down.
Well if you televise it like that then yes. But they say revolution will not be televised.
Literally a tactic that Russia was / is using to destabilize the US. Remotely organize an event and hope people show.
We just had one, they won easily with almost no resistance, and are in power now.
People who want a revolution have absolutely no fucking clue how badly it would turn out if it’s so much as even tried. Know this: It’s not the 1700’s anymore. It’s not going to go down like that at all.
It’ll be a fucking bloodbath.
And once the smoke has cleared, for all the effort and untold innocent lives lost- nothing will have moved the needle in a favorable direction for anyone. In fact, I’d all but guarantee we’d live under an indefinite martial law the likes no one has ever seen.
It fucking sucks SO bad that we’re here, don’t get me wrong. And I’m well aware this’ll be the unpopular opinion here, but never in history has charging the guards in a prison ever netted a positive result for anyone, and sadly, that’s where we are now. It’ll just be risking too much for not nearly enough.
And don’t even ask me what alternatives there are. I’ve no fucking clue. I wish I did. But this is one of those situations where one might not know the proper way to exit an airplane at 32.000 feet, but it’s safe to say they know damn well not to do it without a parachute.
realist doonerism is my favourite drug of choice these days too
It shows you’ve never been to a third world country. You have no idea how bad things can get and people still chug along.
The revolution has already started
Progressives and MAGA both love Luigi Magione. Every shitty thing Trump does is another inch added to the smoke screen that the billionaires are hiding behind.
We take the fight to the individual billionaires, we’re gonna have unity across the entire political spectrum in a second.
We are not hungry enough.
revolutions take time. people are already out there building it.
wont complain if this gets more people to join though.
we wont get any good revolution by just throwing stuff around. planning and organization are the most important aspects of a revolution
Grab your rifle and run out into the street… If you’re the only one in the street with a rifle, go back inside. The revolution hasn’t started yet.
Why do you think Trump is doing so much outlandish bullshit right now? He’s trying to distract everyone from the revolution.
The perma stun proceeds as expected
Nah, we’re just in a weird echo chamber.
So is MAGA. Most people, I think, do have strong opinions on things just thanks to social media brain rot but what they don’t have is an actual plan, organization, or the actual fire you need to fight a revolution.
The Gravy Seals were just a typical example of how well your average revolutionary is really prepared.
Does make me wonder how many people are trying to affect local change. That’s not going to get notice by anyone online, after all.
Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.
Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.
No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people’s way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they’re told.
I personally think it’s only a matter of time. Trump is terrible at the type of finesse needed to properly ‘boil the frog.’
I hope so. Traditionally the fascist way is to pick off small groups so they don’t have to frog boil as much. Hoping they overstep their bounds and people get pissed and do something.
Recommenting from another post, about the news of using Guantanamo for immigrant detainees:
I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who’ve probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it’d be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.
Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:
America has a concentration camp now. I won’t send you anything more…it’s kind of rude that I’m sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/
