Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.
…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?
I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.
We’re coping by voting. And if our voting fails, it’s not like anything else would succeed.
What do you want us to do, summon the Assassin’s Creed?
General strike?
Too many people are paycheck to paycheck. They’re too afraid to commit to industry strikes, let alone a (illegal, cuz of fucking course it is) general strike.
This is also the reason we’ll never see real universal healthcare.
Three days of a general strike would suffice.
Revolt and overthrow your shitty government.
If we just overthrow our existing government, why would something better magically show up in its place?
Because by that time you’ll have grown the fuck up and taken ownership of your country and your actions enough to implement one.
It won’t be like in the movies. Brutal fighting house to house.
And then there’s the whole did you see what we did to Iraq in a month?
Thanks to Bush II army can operate in the US during “times of crisis”.
So vote.
More excuses. It’s going to get ugly and will only get uglier the lonfer you continue to be selfish and avoid it.
You’re just some brainwashed sheep trying to justify being a brainwashed sheep and you will bring untold suffering to everyone else because of it.

Bruh really thinks not causing complete chaos and instability is being selfish.
Wow, a pile of insults hiding a weak counterargument, color me surprised.
You know a population organized enough to overthrow the U.S. government will simply overthrow evil corporations too, right? You did consider that, did you?
After all, if you think you’re so smart then the American people certainly are smart enough to do so.
You heard it here ladies, gents, and others. A pile of insults is defined as more than two, and a three paragraph counterargument with multiple points is considered weak and undermined by one “haha, bet you didn’t think of that!” sentence. Sorry bruv. Gotta hard disagree with your stance. I agree things are f***** i ti distopia, but a single organized revolution is both insufficient and monumentally difficult to achieve.
And your response is to quibble about what “a pile of insults” means so you don’t have to address what I or anyone else is asking you at all.
We’re gonna try this again. Did you consider the fact that an armed, organized second American revolution can topple evil corporations as well as it could the U.S. government, if one existed? Yes or no
I have shared my thoughts here already, but ok. I’ll play along. I did consider it and it wouldn’t work due to a major split in the populace’s opinion, foreign powers that would get heavily involved, the sheer size of the country, and the inability for the revolutionary force to choose the correct moment to stop violent action.

Perhaps, before suggesting people engage in violence or protest, you should do some research as to why they don’t, why it hasn’t occurred to them; what is the resistance?
It’s not an easy rabbit hole to follow, and I had to do the dive, myself. Heck, I was so certain the world by now would have a constitution wiki in which every national charter was translated. It would feature a workshop area where legal scholars could hone clauses like including ranked choice voting into US federal elections. Because so many improvements are no-brainers.
Eventually I realized such a beast didn’t exist, and legal scholars aren’t into that. It raises the question: why?
So, for now I’m going to say, just like yesterday, you should get on your knees and pray we don’t get fooled again.
