"Thanks for the F-shack"
Thanks, you too!
Why do I get the feeling you're not being genuine? Like tucker carlson going "I'm just asking questions here."
"Your idea references a document from 1902, therefore it's bad".
It's ok, the internet is a pretty testy place these days. That's awesome tho, the most I've done is leave my garage unlocked and let my neighbor know they can hide if needed.
Even tho things are bad, I think we still have a while to go before enough people reach a tipping point unfortunately.
Why don't you actually read my comment since I already told you what I will do.
You asked why we don't just "eat the oligarchs". It is because people are still afraid to die. Afraid to leave behind everything they know to try and build a better future they will not see. This is the answer to your question. And it's infinitly easier to talk about all the things you would do from behind a screen. Why don't you start a group? I'll join you, we can meet on Tuesdays.
That's fair, probably the most effective course of action at the moment. That's how the Leaders We Deserve PAC is operating I believe. Still within the two party system getting people to vote and running as democrats.
I guess when I say "dems" I mean "establishment democrats". Like Biden, Kamala, Clinton etc.
It was, still is. I never liked the argument "well it could be worse" when things should be better.
You've never gotten into a better or worse position cuz someone knew an opening trap and the other person did not? GM's fall for that shit every so often so you must not play a lot of chess or something.
Realistically it would take so much time, energy, effort, resources, dealing with trolls, probably way more i can't even think of. But it's so easy to just angrily post online. 100%. And even if a few of us tries to organize, it would be gatekept and fall to infighting. It's why there are no real libertarian candidates, they all gatekeep people "who arent REAL libertarians".
It would take an unbelievable amount of resources and sacrifice to even come close to competing with either major party. Not to mention the probable assassination attempts. It's not that "both sides are the same", one is clearly worse than the other. But neither are what's best for the country moving forward.
Which reminds me Andrew Yang tried creating the "Forward Party" but it never gained traction. And he spent more than all of the people in this comment section probably have combined to try it. Now I think he sells smartphones or something idk.
People are stressed and depressed and yearn for something truly different. Which is understandable. There's just no action that follows and that's what makes it an "armchair revolution". People still don't want to die, deep down they hope some external thing will come to the rescue. Except there never will be.
Do we think dems will save us? Let's say a huge blue wave happens. A Democrat wins every election for the next 2 years. What would they do?
What have they done so far? Ofc I'll vote dem but thinking they will be the ones to save us will only lead to disappointment.
Ironically, reading religious texts and critically thinking about them are the best way to convert someone from a religion to atheism.
