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.
It takes guts and strength. In the mass of population, this is found in people who have nothing to lose. Today, you always have something to lose. It's called comfort. If you don't have comfort, someone's pressuring you in one way or another, and you don't have strength to rebel. You can't. Literally.
If you have comfort, why would you rebel at all.
Then, anything goes, no matter how offended you are.
The stupidest win because of fear. They are not inherently stupid, they just make the stupid choice. Making a stupid choice doesn't make you stupid forever (except in the US).
violent rebellion is almost always a lost cause effort. It's the thing you go to when literally everything around you is burning down and you're going to die already.
Agree, I think it's kind of what I mean, or maybe I misinterpret your point ?
Last non violent rebellions, like the HK yellow umbrella, or the yellow jackets in France, have always been met with violence, whether political, or physical. Prison, disappearance, chopped arms, punctured eyes etc
i 100% agree with your statement, i think we might disagree on intention though.
A lot of people are here arguing that the US should be doing a bolshevik revolution 2 electric boogaloo right now, even though basically nothing has changed.
Maybe 3 years from now that will happen, but it's hard to say.
The big problem is that the amount of effort, and the numbers killed, will be much smaller if done before all democratic infrastructure has been destroyed. The flipside, as you rightly allude, is not enough people yet understand where this going, and thus action may be seen as too precipitate.
When everything has been burned down and it's blatantly obvious how this goes it will be VERY hard to over throw it
More accurately, choices founded on ignorance are easier to make than choices founded on active thought.
