Yeah I’d love to but that’s not going to happen without suffering on a scale this country hasn’t seen since the Great Depression or a civil war.
Getting real sick of all the “Just overthrow the govt you lazy Americans! You’re not doing anything and that means you accept it.” takes on here.
Tell that to Minnesotans or Chicagoans or Los Angelinos.
"laziness" does not exist. It's just a placeholder term used for when we don't understand why people aren't doing what we individually want them too.
There are a significant minority of protestors, like the groups you mention. It's not laziness they are being accused of. It's their inability to match the scale, intensity and severity of the response to meet the threat.
When one side has armed gestapo paramilitary and majority control of the levers of state power and media and the other side has signs, clowns and furries protesting, the world sees a losing strategy.
I'm afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
Yeah apologies it’s just exhausting sometimes. We’re trying but it’s not at a critical mass yet. I worry too many people are waiting for him to die thinking that’ll fix everything when he’s a symptom and not the disease.
The guy peacefully pass in his sleep would be something. I dread the infighting that would follow for the "throne".
If that infighting stops America attacking anyone else in the meantime, then by all means, have at it.
That is utterly depressing to read but something too welcome to happen.
The lack of a general strike is telling. Everyone everywhere faces hardship, but other places would have, long ago (like you should have under Regean long ago!)
Your billionaires know most of you are scabs and class traitors, they will not stop now.
Put up or shut up.
