If enough people join in at the same time, the threat/risk of repercussions/punishment drops to zero, or very close to zero. The difficult part is organizing enough people.
If you organize that many people you can get what you want without resorting to a form of violence that will really only create a power vacuum, not a better future.
Violence is just cheap and easy, as long as you don’t have to think about the consequences of your actions.
Problem is you’ve left organizing and resisting so long you’ve already so far behind that the only catch up now is violence. Also the vast majority of people who have had to resort to violence as a last resort think about the consequences of their actions daily. It is well documented. I don’t know the stats on fascist dictators but I have afeeling heir druphkin and his ilk never seem to have those problems.
The problem is it’s not the last resort, far from it. We still have some semblance of democracy, no matter how often people are screaming that it’s all lost already (like yourself). We still have options, just because so many people choose not to consider them doesn’t mean they don’t exist, it just means it takes more effort than lighting a bottle of alcohol with a rag in it on fire and tossing it at the people you blame for all your inconveniences.
Yes, we have a problem at the federal level, and yes it’s going to be hard to fix it. But it’s not the only thing that matters, and treating it like it is is how we’ve lost so much ground already. People gave up long ago because everyone keeps telling them their thoughts don’t matter, that everything is already broken and there’s no way to fix it. Not because it’s true, because it’s the easiest way to get people to stop resisting effectively.
You want people to do something meaningful? Stop backing them into a corner by telling them they have no options left. Cause as we’ve seen already it just means they give up.
As someone looking from the outside in please tell me about this democracy you have left. Truely. I’d like to know because I don’t see it anywhere. I specifically don’t see it in the constant threats of annexation of my country and fuck all being done about that from your end. Too busy with your democracy I suppose to stand up for one of your largest trading partners and closest ally. Probably see us as the burden your lord and leader tried to peg us as. Your democracy is working really fucking well. I’ll never again trust an american. Ever. You ensured that. Should one try to cross our border with bad intent they WILL be met with violence that you could never imagine.
You see us Canadians, once you work this hard to fuck us and push us into a corner, we ain’t all sorry and shit anymore. We come out with teeth bared and ice in our veins. Maybe you could learn something from our war history to help your “democracy”.
If people were actually ready instead of all talk, there would already be riots and such. No one is actually uncomfortable enough to entertain the idea of real sacrifice yet. To lose the life they have, or potentially their actual life, to fight the oppression that’s started/is coming.
I think at this point the only thing that would actually make it hit boiling point is mass joblessness/homelessness/starvation. People have to really feel it and have almost nothing to lose to really start caring.
The core part of Populism is a leader who goes around that the established systems are broken and how only they can fix it. It is massively destabilizing on both sides.

Is is a seriously bad sign when people want to go on killing spree. It feels like these days you are ether expected to support Trump and all of his madness and human rights violations or be ready to support mass reforms and even violence. Can I not support Trump while not wanting to start executing people? Last time I checked the courts were a very powerful enemy of Trump. They have repeatedly stepped in his way of his power. The courts take a long time to do anything but they are absolute when they decide on something. If you overthrow the systems of power you end up with a dictator and even totalitarianism. I do not support mass deportations especially when they are completely violating peoples rights. However, that doesn’t mean I have to support a violent uprising. Last time I checked that didn’t work well for the capital rioters.
You should look around. You have installed a dictator. One that you ensured had unlimited power through your court system. Then he made certain the courts had zero power by openly defying them repeatedly. Looks like no one in your country with the power to do so, seems to be willing to defy or confront him.

All these jokes about guillotines is getting old. Either shit or get off the pot.
We all have to shit at the same time, that’s the trick.
If enough people join in at the same time, the threat/risk of repercussions/punishment drops to zero, or very close to zero. The difficult part is organizing enough people.
Governments work hard in preventing people from organizing. Mass media and centralized socials are directly sponsored by the government.
If you organize that many people you can get what you want without resorting to a form of violence that will really only create a power vacuum, not a better future.

Okay. Name an authoritarian ruler who was deposed with absolutely no violence.
A whole bunch of them in Eastern Europe, the only exception being Ceausescu.
And then we all flush at the same time too and the entire school gets launched into the air.
Push them hard every time. I didn’t even consider this. Thank you for updating me. I will be borrowing this theme going forward.
not a joke. be ready.
Are you?
eager
Well how the fuck do we get this ball rolling? I’m ready and it feels like a load of others are ready to fix this too.
If people were actually ready instead of all talk, there would already be riots and such. No one is actually uncomfortable enough to entertain the idea of real sacrifice yet. To lose the life they have, or potentially their actual life, to fight the oppression that’s started/is coming.

We’ve been told we need an adult to go to the bathroom now though.

A song just for you: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TMHCw3RqulY
I’m not sure vaccines are a class issue, it seems to cross the spectrum.
Maybe chill just a bit…
How many people have to go to the camps before you can unchill?
This is the problem with your country right here.
Honestly I wish it was just the US. However, I have a feeling these things will start happening on a global scale as misinformation spreads.
And that’s why you have to fight…Now.
That we think in absolutes, and either are hyper violent or apathetic, both of which lead to no real resolution? Yeah, definitely a real problem.
I’m no expert here but I believe it is called: Populism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism
The core part of Populism is a leader who goes around that the established systems are broken and how only they can fix it. It is massively destabilizing on both sides.

What? You mean the people that faced no consequences for their insurrection? Seems like it worked out quite well for them.
Sorry fam
It’s at the point where the president wants to deport citizens for not being white enough, it’s about to to stop chilling.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
It’s way beyond being chill
