"The people stealing from Americans are not folks with tattoos and hoodies—it's people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins, sitting in this Capitol right now," said Rep. Maxwell Frost.
We all do the problem is everyone is doing their own things. There is no online community server to unite everyone to do together and collaborate yet
If one was made on Revolt, & another on Matrix then getting people in to do, inform, discuss, work together, & more then we can all make HUGE progress in a day. And then from every day onward
Many people are up for this, and efforts are being done to get it started but we need more people focused on doing it together
They don’t have the balls or the outwards thinking. The only time they’ll be thinking “We need to guillotine these bastards” is when they’re being dragged into an ICE-truck. But of course the onlookers won’t be thinking that.
You know, the last ten years have been a whole lot of “no way that will happen” and then that thing happens. I never ever would have believed that Luigi would have caused the kind of outpouring that he did or possibly even set a UHC bankruptcy in motion. We’re sitting on a powder keg, saying it’ll never go off because the sparks never caught for long before.
Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it’s a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the “it couldn’t possibly happen here” message.
Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn’t wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn’t know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.
In his perspective, the idea of a “fluke” is not a fluke at all, it’s a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.
Gonna be honest with you.
Americans don’t have the balls.
Hope I’m wrong. Pretty sure I’m not.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Peasants were entirely self sufficient and had nothing to lose. It simply isn’t the case for anyone who lives in a city.
Military coup is possible though
The enlightenment era revolutions were, almost unanimously, instigated and led by upper middle class fuckboys.
The French revolution wasn’t lead by the rural peasants.
Every day more people feel like they have nothing to lose.
It’s only a matter of time until they take matters into their own hands.
As an American who is a liberal gun owner I will agree with you.
Need more liberal gun owners to be made. Try to recommend people to good organizations from people you know
