      Slowly. Luigi was a good start.

      If Americans want to revolt, they’ll have to do it in the shadows.

      Any common man can kill a rich person. No organized resistance is required, and any organized resistance is going to be infiltrated by the FBI and shut down before anything significant happens.

      It would be neat if the heroes that kill our oppressors end up getting social media famous as they do it.

      America isn’t going to have a revolution. Modern Americans couldn’t revolution our way out of a Walmart. Best we might be able to do is a collapse, and we’ll blame it on everybody in the world but ourselves.

      America doesn’t need a revolution, a simple general strike will remind the capitalist bastards that they rely on us, not the other way around.

          Americans haven’t given up their consumerism, so a general strike is out of the question.

          They need money for subscribing to digital entertainment they can be getting for free and to order food with delivery apps at 100% markup.

          This generation sucks.

          I’m Australian. We have mandatory voting, which makes it almost impossible for a nutjob like Trump to take control here.

            But we do have little to no independent media, which does help Dutton and his cohorts (Trumpets of Patriots or some nonsense) convince people to put in donkey votes at best and vote for them at worst. All they need is a majority in parliament to push the crazy.

      say the literal acts you want Americans to do or you’re even more cowardly than we are. ICE can’t disappear you if you’re in europe, you don’t need to mince words
