i think we should plan the revolution as a hypothetical. lay the blueprints out online for everyone to see. it's as easy as "if i were going to do X, i would begin by X. if a lot of us did X together then..."
revolution by committee with full transparency. when the plan involves millions of people acting in unison, there's not a whole lot you can do about it, even if you know what's coming.
-
You are a bit late. The plan is already underway
-
we all know what P25 is. we don't need to keep talking about that. let's come up with solutions, not complaints.
-
I think you missed the point.
The link was a tounge-in-cheek reply about how the fascists openly planned and are implementing an authoritarian "revolution", and basically got away with it by telling their voters "lol no we aren't going to do that, it's just the libs lyin' again", and then immediately going with "Project 2025 has been the plan all along" once trump was President elect.
-
i think YOU missed the point. we're all aware of what they did. why keep repeating the same shit over and over? we know they're idiots and liars. we don't need tongue in cheek commentary. we don't need comedians. we need people who are ready to do something about it.
-
Hey, you're hot right now. Why don't you step away for a bit, take a little walk, maybe work on something else for a bit and then come back?
-
you're goddamned right i'm hot right now. most of you children were raised on the social media concept of "calmer than you are", and it's been very effective at neutering all of you.
why are you afraid of anger? anger is a motivator. anger gets shit done.
you just literally refuted the idea that we should be working together to stop this shit in favor of 'clever' banter about it. do you realize how useless you are? do you realize how fucking tired your political commentary is? did you just get here? your tongue in cheek shtick has been done 5 million fucking times, and it hasn't stopped one fucking thing this admin is doing. grow up.

you just literally refuted the idea that we should be working together to stop this shit...
I didn't refute that. I didn't refute anything. I merely suggested that you did not interpret the intent of the above comment correctly.
As for not doing shit to stop this... No amount of shit posting on a memes oriented fediverse forum is going to inspire real world revolution. You've got an axe to grind, I get it, but don't get mad at me because I told you "sir, this is a McDonalds".
Seriously. Take a a step back. Reflect on what you are doing, and where you are doing it. You aren't helping any cause by being a reactionary lashing out at everyone and everything with no regard to what gets hit.

not with that attitude.
so where do we go to rally people into action then? if this is just a "mcdonald's", where do the people who aren't just online clowns go? please tell me, because i don't want to take part in yet another uesless yuk yuk political commentary circle jerk.

You do. That is what you are revolting against. You don't think they have considered their opposition in their planning?
-
You don’t think they have considered their opposition in their planning?
i absolutely do. these people are meticulous even if their leader is a buffoon. but just because they're expecting to get punched in the mouth doesn't mean you shouldn't punch them in the mouth.
-
If they are expecting to get punched in the mouth then maybe you should punch them in the dick.

It's not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.
-
I make the equivalent of $1800/month. I barely make ends meet. Every time I strike I incur a $80 deduction for the working day I skip. Sometimes I cannot afford to strike.
-
You're not wrong. But there won't be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.
Inb4 "doomer post" I'm trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month's worth of food and all strike for an entire week.
I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that's where you have to make waves.
Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone's car broke down they could take to "that guy" in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on "the system", the less control it has over them.
-
maybe. i'm skeptical but not opposed.

I jest, but this isn't what motivates people. Movements happen because people care about them. Something that has meaning.
-
lol. i forgot about that video, but that is exactly what i'm talking about.
