Spicy takes are the best takes though, op
Which is why extremism continues to rise
And that's a good thing. We need a revolution like yesterday, ten years ago really.
More of a peaceful revolution kinda guy if possible but hard to do these days with how dire some things are getting.
I have a good feeling such revolutionaries would only fuel the oppositions fire
It doesn't actually matter what they or others think and that's a lesson I as well as other revolutionaries have had to learn the hard way over the years.
Public support has been made impossible to secure with the collapse of the education system and propaganda designed to convince Americans to reject education and learning.
So it'll be up to the few people who managed to resist it to either revolt, or try to escape.
What of the police state though? How can revolutionaries stay out of the gulags in order to fight these revolutions you speak of.
I don’t believe in the extreme, tired ways of the retirees of the world. There’s plenty of smart routes to change that don’t require being thrown in jail.
We live in the technical age, one hacking group took out most of Las Vegas slots. Anything is possible through though and intelligent action. Stupid violence leads to unnecessary death.
Bail fund. Physically bust open the jails. Attack police and liberate people from arrest. You know, the usual.
I agree with you that white-collar tactics should be a part of the revolutionary's repertoire of government -overthrowing tactics, but honestly, I don't see how it's possible to completely avoid getting physical with those cretins at some point.
Most violence is actually intelligent. They're never mutually exclusive.
While these idiots are advocating for a revolution they'll neither participate in not be effective if they did, the rest of the world will just keep innovating it's way out of problems.
People like the dude you're replying to are the worst kind of useless. They're the kind of person buying Powerball tickets to try to get out of debt.
Yet they seem effective enough that you are regarding them as a threat, hence you're investing all that time and energy you're supposedly putting toward innovation into arguing with people like me on the Internet.
Bro I'm shitting at work lol
You really think the rest of us aren't? Who am I kidding, of course you do.
I don't believe you have a job. I think you're in college, almost certainly undergrad.
Then you're as hopelessly ignorant and unempathetic as you accuse everyone else of being when they demand justice and change.
No I actually do real things to improve society.
You bitch about shit you don't understand because you saw a YouTube video lol
No you don't. You're sitting on the toilet at work arguing with me on Lemmy. You're just as naughty as the rest of us.
You're just as disaffected as everyone else and the day you realize it's because the system you're defending is the problem is the day everything will make sense to you.
I don't even use Youtube. It's too full of ads. Come on. If you're gonna lay out troll bait to kill time, you could at least try to throw out something halfway decent.
I'm not stuck in here with you. You're stuck in here with me.
Definitely a sign you're going to win a war.
Definitely something you genuinely care about and totally not you looking to push pro status quo bullshit.
i'll never need to care because this is just a fantasy you console yourself with while not actually doing anything helpful
Yet here you are. Caring.
Mockery does not imply concern
If the revolution comes, I can pretty much guarantee you're not gonna see the end of it.
Always blows my mind that you people think you'll somehow survive the war you encourage happening lol
Who said I would? I never did. I did not ever even think it. I support it because I care about my family and future generations. Fighting a revolution is a sacrifice you make for other people and is therefore the highest of moral acts.
The fact that you'd even say that shows how selfish and cowardly you are.
You can't have the old world anymore. Your world requires exploiting the rest of us and you don't have the right to do that. Make your own goddamn Big Macs.
