The number of peaceful revolutions we can unfortunately count on one hand. We can strive for to -but we have to be realistic
However there also has to be a plan. Simply overthrowing the existing rule allows chaos & someone worse to assume power
The old rule has already been overthrown. By Trump, far right white Christian nationalists, and silicon valley. Unfortunately, it's being replaced with something way worse.
I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.
FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.
yea, like what is currently happening is a "non-violent" coup. They used anger, mass disinformation and propaganda.
Russ voight literally said their coup would be as bloodless as democrats allowed
well, i guess that meant it would be completely bloodless.
Still non violent. As fucked as it is, there has been very little violence. Maybe some crazies at protests. Compare that to other revolutions it's almost nothing.
I would rather have the violence. Maybe then there would be movement to stop it.
yes but that wouldn't be civil and would degrade the integrity of the procedures, so, you know, un-american.
‘We can’t overthrow Hitler, because someone worse could come in to take his place.’
That's not what they said though
Same logic.
No, they just said there needs to be a plan. It's not the same logic at all.
Ok. I guess evil can be permitted to run rampant while we work out a plan.
Well then, by that logic, let's just nuke the entire planet today! Argue in good faith please.
I am arguing in good faith. You think should be permitted to continue what he’s doing until a plan is presented for what we do after he’s stopped?
Where did I say that? No you're using hyperbole, that's not in good faith. No one said let him run wild with no repercussions, they are saying at least have a plan, it could be developed as things go, but just at least let's have some organization and direction.
I love the setting here where you can see your running total of down/up votes. I down voted that guy 15 times already. If they're really annoying I make a tag too.
Hmm interesting, I'm using jerboa, is that feature available there too, if you know?
No idea, sorry. I'm using voyager.
No worries, I'll try some digging. Thanks anyhow!
No shit. The reason i used hyperbole is to point out your hyperbole.
I’m not using hyperbole. Trump is as dangerous as Hitler.
Yes, and we need a plan, would you not say?
Not only that, but without a plan you won't even be able to get close to overthrowing any half-competent regime.
so you're saying there's a chance?
