I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.
May I ask,what would be that thing? Because its seems like your all well over due for a bit of a revolution
The people who don’t care/understand politics will have to get hungry.
You know what they say, a society is one 4 meals aways from complete chaos
Thats the string holding it all together imo. The majority of people still feel secure enough in their next week of meals, let alone next four. Yeah they cost more, yeah food pantries usage are trending up so much that it threatens their stocks of food, but the foods still there and obtainable for most. Many of us who see the writing on the wall are ready for whatever but we can’t simply start shooting and hope things get better.
Well sure for now,but your seen the price of eggs,Healthcare, transportation, education, Internet and about dozen other things,prices for food is already going up,how long will take? By the way,I don’t think revolution is the answer,j think politicians need to grow some back bones. Give aoc or burnie a chance.
1929 crisis lasted more or less 10 years and nothing happened
Great reply,yea you guys are Americans. I thought you all have a belief that anything was possible with gumption and grit. I don’t really understand what happened to the people,I thought you guys where all fire and brimstone,what happened?
Ohh indeed.
Here’s the playfield:
We have cities full of poorly armed people who are on the edge of readiness. Then, we have thousands of miles of rural country with a sparse number of well-armed people who are quite happy with the turn of events.
Nearly all news coverage is now directly/indirectly state-controlled. Nearly all social media coverage is directly/indirectly state-controlled.
We’re seeing protests come up around government buildings, but it’s barely a pittance.
The people who would need to start the coup are poorly armed and largely reluctant to be violent; they’re also not ready to give their lives for the cause. The people who are against any form of coup are well-armed and would LOVE to go in guns blazing.
The inklings of resistance are present. They’d need someone to organize and lead them,
Another concern I have is, historically, you have a coup, the military is called in to take it out, they refuse, and a new government is installed with their blessing. What happens when, instead of the military getting called in and refusing, the old government hires private industry to put guns on drones and starts murderbotting protestors? Tech isn’t like it used to be. They don’t need to get their hands directly dirty anymore or risk any of their own lives.
I’m not certain you could have a revolution against well funded oligarchs dug into a country.
Well kid,now is not the time to give up, no matter how dig in they think they are,the tick can always be pulled out
People are seemingly waiting for “the thing” not realizing that there’s never “the thing” in a successive authoritarian takeover.
Well that’s extremely sad
The thing is probably a leader for the opposition in this case.
I think most people thought that “the” line was crossed at some point several lines ago, but when there wasn’t an obvious consensus that “the” line had been crossed at that particular time, people kept looking around and waiting for others to say that “the” line had been crossed. That’s how we’ve all allowed it to get to such an insane point. We’re all waiting for a revolutionary instead of being the leader we need. I don’t think any of us feels qualified and capable.
Yes but it’s bluntly obvious that no one in capital hill is actually qualified. In fact I would say they’re extremely unqualified. Remember the BLM protests? When nothing changed, well you all need to get to working out that line and get out and do something. 50501
