Many of us have been screaming this for a very loooong time!!! We are shocked by the lack of action! Much like many were when the Nazis grabbed power. More folks are realizing how goddawful T/ they are but changing the direction is a huge job. And the longer the FASCISTS remain in their stolen power, the longer it will take & the harder it wb to UNDO it:(

The same simplistic mentality that lumps all Americans together is the same simplistic mentality found in the bigots who elected the empty headed Cheeto.

There are absolutely exceptions to what this guy is saying, but this message isn't FOR them. It's for the people who need to get up and help the people who ARE protesting.
OfficialTrollInspector
Listen.
If anyone here has a plan on how to do something about that man,
they will not be sharing it with you over the internet.
That shit is need-to-know basis.
FractalShoggoth
For real. Starting to wonder if all these people shouting at the U.S. aren't feds trying to gather intel.
etherbunny41
And until someone *enacts* a plan, we can't assume that people are already on it. In the meantime you'd probably be best staying off social media of any kind so you don't have to worry about people bitching at you for not doing anything.

The bitchers are a distinct minority. They're not important, and never will be.

I can arm myself and leroy jenkins myself into an ICE formation. I will be killed and will be forgotten in a week. we really want to do something but we can't do it alone. scheduled protests are absolute nonsense "hey, next weekend when you arent working, come on out and support us!" like its a muscular dystrophy walk. people are so concerned with food, rent, mortgages, tuition that they arent eager to upset the applecart. we are really fucked and it's been decades of planning that put us here
etherbunny41
You're not being asked to Leroy Jenkins yourself, you're being asked to act as a collective, like you've recently seen other countries do. It is possible for you to work together. American Individualism makes it a lot harder to think that way, but it is absolutely within the capabilities of your society. The cost of living is on a steep climb. Pretty soon you're not going to have to worry about affording all those things; instead you'll Know that you simply can't. What then? And why not sooner?
idrinkcheapbeer
If it can be scheduled in-between pilates and soccer practice.
etherbunny41
You don't need to answer these questions, but I'm still going to ask them.
Where do you live? How big is your neighborhood? How far are you from your state capital? Have you tried asking your neighbors how they feel about all this? Have you asked them if they'd be willing to maybe skip the hypothetical "pilates and soccer practice" to maybe do something more important than that?
idrinkcheapbeer
I've done all of this and more. I've been involved top to bottom for a decade. People will need to get hungry, really hungry for any kind of change. And thats the point of what is going on. When we are too physically weak to respond, that's the end goal. I'm sorry if I seem bitter but I can't not see what I am seeing.
etherbunny41
Then you're not the people this message is for. Put down the imgur, get some sleep, and keep doing what you can.
Deadflower394857
Acting as a collective is not exactly a simple task. This requires organization, logistics, administrative work. We are not a hive mind.
etherbunny41
Especially for people with socially heightened individualism. These messages aren't for the people who are already doing what needs to be done. These messages are for the people who haven't joined the cause yet.

An attack on one is an attack on all. Invoke article 5.
IHateItH3r3
This is victim blaming and this type of rhetoric does nothing to fix the problem. I know people are scared and angry, and I’m sure it makes you feel better to blame everyone else. The horrid behaviors we are seeing happen everywhere and its on all of us to stop it.
etherbunny41
The victims are the ones killed, injured, kidnapped, or otherwise directly harmed by the actions of the abuser.
The rest of you are bystanders. It is up to you to collectively step in and protect those who can't protect themselves to prevent there from being MORE victims than there already are.
ElleW1988
And you all are going to create some kind of fund so we can afford to eat while we protest or engage in cyber attacks that contribute to the destabilization so we can be successful right? Its a digital world. We don't have to do this alone. But y'all would rather point fingers. We are protesting. And people are dying. The news isn't reporting on it. Its a fucking shit show out there.
etherbunny41
An excellent idea! Exchange rates and logistics of how it would all be distributed considering border issues and tariffs and what not complicates things a lot, though. Probably wouldn't be worth it for people outside the country to do it...
... oh hey, why don't YOU do it? Go around to people of your neighborhood and spread the word. People within reach of the problem can help out a whole lot easier than us folks way out here. Good thinking though! Now you have something you can Do!
ElleW1988
I have probably done a lot more than the average fucking person and I'm fucking tired of keyboard warriors telling us we are doing nothing. Its not noble or smart to line up to get shot in the street. We need resources and tactics and those things take time to organize. And what part of media blackout don't you understand.
etherbunny41
Then you're not the people this message is for. Put down the imgur (it's clearly not good for your psyche), get whatever sleep you can, and keep doing what you can.
ButTheyWereAllBad
Exactly this. Those who aren't rich cannot afford to miss work to join protests. They need to keep their jobs so they can feed and provide the basic care for their family. I agree that we need to collectively join together to protest AND supply support for those who need it during these times.
etherbunny41
Those who aren't rich should've been out peacefully protesting when they COULD afford to. The best time to protest was yesterday; second best time to protest is today. Keep waiting and the cost of living will increase until you don't have a choice.
TheBloodyLady
Those who aren't rich have lived scraping by for most of their lives. The system is working as intended to keep us all too close to starvation and homelessness to convince people to stand up for themselves. That and decades of propaganda.
ClessAurion
Your grandfathers did general strikes 100 years ago when things were way worse than now. What is your excuse exactly?
AllSeeingAvalin
Lack of unions
getting fired for trying to start unions
fired for talking about unions
general mistrust of unions due to 100 years of media campaigns
no savings
no support
no sympathy from neighbors
having bill
needing to eat
needing to feed our kids/pets
fear of retaliation
fear of imprisonment
fear of being shot
lack of leadership
lack of organization
lack of knowledge on how to build leadership
sickness
And a well armored rouge police thats willing to kill.
Just to name a few issues
etherbunny41
Do you honestly think a company can afford to fire its entire work force if they decide to collectively not show up to work? How many of them do you think they can safely get rid of and replace within, oh... let's say a month?
You don't need the black feather. You've always had the power to fly. You just have to realize it.
ClessAurion
Very good arguments. And people fought for that to not be the case... Yet here we are again.
It was the same if not worse at the start of last century. Yet people created unions and did all those things. Repercusión free? No, people bled. More will if you don't start organizing now
Arkandos
People started unions back when they shot union workers. What's your excuse now?
TheLastGreatAudit
We will. Look, Americans always do the right thing... just as soon as we've exhausted all other options.
etherbunny41
Exactly this. The whole "Fuck You, I Got Mine" mentality means that most Americans aren't willing to fight for their neighbors. There should have been massive protests YEARS ago, and the fucked up thing is that if you go back far enough you'll see there WERE protests... but they stopped, for some reason. We had a World War II, why not a Million Man March II?
LaffertyDanie1
If you're suggesting a coup you might want to think through some of the possible international ramifications, besides how poorly it could go for us. If we have to fully retreat from the world stage to deal with that, what happens in Taiwan? Would Putin go nuclear? We've given netanyahu a long leash but what about no leash? I don't know but it certainly could be very very bad

There isn't going to be a revolution. We're a nation of dopamine addicts that's been spoonfed bullshit from the Right AND Left for generations that we're better than every other country in the world, and that we have this magically self-correcting system of government. Take your Soma and let Someone Else™ deal with the real problems.

There is no left in America. The voice of the left has been systematically silenced and demonized for decades, almost a century by this point.

Buddy, there's no contradiction, the "but" is misplaced. You can totally be a "software guy at a Danish TV station" AND "just shit on Americans". That's because one is a profession and the other an (online) opinion.
goonislovegoonislife
I don't think you realize how poorly most of the western world thinks about Americans. Obviously you're not all dicks, but the 'average American' has had a bad reputation for a long time. People like this with passionate disdain aren't uncommon.
mycoffeeartjourney
Bad news travels fast. I've been to America a few times and everyone i meet was cool and sensible {except a TSA lady at LAX but YMMV) but the media outside America paints a picture of nothing but angry racist old people and a financial disparity that is almost binary. It can't actually be like that, you have stores and wine and boats and beaches but none of that makes good news. But pictures of rioters and billionaires getting upset because the government might tax them... That makes the news..
justiPumpkinTaker
Except enough of them are angry racist assholes who did elect the main one. So while they are nice in small interactions with you, that doesn't mean that they want a comfortable and equitable America for everyone.
He did win, twice - so there are millions who do support him when he says and does deplorable stuff

I blame all the people who voted for Trump, all the people who didn't vote against Trump and all the people who helped to legitimize the idea of not voting against Trump.
InfocalypseRising
Okay, well, I didn’t do any of those things but this comment thread is still happy to heap all the blame on me personally
EroticZombiePants
Also, if you think people are only blaming everyone in America for Trump, then you aren't paying any attention to the threads involving the Palestinian genocide.
EhhSpoofy
Difference is, American influence is much larger than that of Russia or Turkey. The fact that half of em own guns and claim to "defend democracy and freedom" using those guns, yet Americans are gunned down by ICE daily. Home of the brave? Go and deal with the Tyrants, otherwise I'll keep refering to it as Home of the bullies.
EroticZombiePants
I hate to break it to you, but by 2029 there will be such intense deep-seeded hatred of all things American, they'll be hundreds of millions of people all over the World that's not going to bother making the distinction between 'voted for Trump', 'voted for Harris', or even 'immigrated to their country before Trump was even elected the first time'.

He threatened to cause a nuclear cascade event if anyone interfered in his illegal war of extermination. Something that would, without question, end humanity.
Anyone who hears that, and WOULDN'T attack him on sight is a traitor to all mankind, putting their bullshit above the survival of the human race. THEY heard it, and didn't care. So yes. As far as I'm concerned, anyone there who isn't rebelling is a lost cause.
Sure it's extreme, but we're talking about THE CONTINUED SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY.
DukeDarkwood
Sounds like you should get on that, being part of humanity and all.
I really don't think Putin goes to see his public, anyway. Nobody would ever get the chance. A random Muscovite on the street has the same odds of going after Putin as you do.
DrunkGermanGuy
The overwhelming majority of Russians are either entirely on board with the quest to "restore" a Russian empire against the will of the people of other nations, or don't care in the slightest and stay passive like they've always done.
georgeousviking89
Maybe it’s because you were always #1 and we kinda all looked up to you, but now the cats out of the bag. When you let profit and growth control everything, while denying free education and healthcare, you essentially put a paywall on critical thinking. By treating education as a luxury rather than a right, you’ve created a population that doesn't know any better. That systemic failure is exactly how you breed ignorance and end up with MAGA.
InfocalypseRising
You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know, man. I hate all of that shit. What I don’t understand is why so many of you are eager to shit on the handful of us that agree with you.
georgeousviking89
Yeah that is lame to do, its not your fault
Pandabear71
Putin elects himself. Trump was voted in by a majority.

SuperfluousMeh
Yes, especially here on imgur, people do blame every random Russian for putin. I made a post about how having no heat in December in russia is literally lethal and the comments I got were about not caring about Russians because of putin.

America is going into a downward spiral that is inevitable and can't be stopped, even if you elect Bernie's younger clone in 28

As an openly trans woman who left the US with my wife and our kids, what exactly AM I supposed to go do? Fly in and get arrested immediately at the airport because my passport gender marker was changed but my name wasn't because Texas is a gigantic trump nut sucking shit hole and I can't change my name legally there?
It's one thing to ask your friends not to go into work in the EU where you aren't held as a wage slave. In the US they'll fire you on the spot and bam... Now you're double fucked.

I mean... I'd argue my comment excludes most if not all people that aren't in the US.

InfocalypseRising
Yeah everyone loves pointing this out but what exactly do you want me to do? Just call up everyone I know and tell them not to go to work?

You have my sympathies but unfortunately thats all you have. I warned about this while the election was still going on, I warned about it during Bidens years of doing fuck all to stop what was coming.

Quit thinking in terms of how it's happened in Europe and look at American history.

No difference in disparity from the rest of the dictatorships. It doesn't matter that the US military is by far the biggest, it's comparing civilians to a military regardless. You got here not in one year, not in 10, but far more. Inaction and apathy got you here, and it's killing people in other countries every day. It will kill countless more.

General strike. No company can fire its entire work force, let alone a small percentage of it. The only stopping that is American Individualism. "Fuck You, I Got Mine".

Try to remember that the president has the largest military and police force protecting him. No other nation in the world has even tried to overthrow our government in the past 250 years. You can't honestly expect people that have never even considered the true reality of a tyrannical government to build a rebellion capable of overthrowing this nightmare in under a year. I think most people are still in shock that it's even happening much less already rallying to action.

There is no bunker at Mar-a-Lago. He kept classified docs in the bathroom. Get a few thousand people down there and hang him at a gas station. I hear Chevron has a thing for him.

As justified as that might be, it wouldn't be that simple and, even if it were successful, it wouldn't solve the problem. All 3 branches have fallen and Trump would be replaced immediately by a smarter fascist with similar ambitions.
ClessAurion
He has a personality cult, and there is no favorite child that can replace him now.
loedout
Vance (or whoever took Trump's place) would probably not command the same loyalty from the extremist base, but they wouldn't need to. Trump has already concentrated so much power into the presidency that they would really only need the oligarchs and sycophants support to hold onto power, and Trump's assassination would give them the justification and support they'd need to solidify that power.
ClessAurion
That is a fair statement tbh.
It still would be a test of fire. Just like the next presidential elections will be when he inevitably goes for a 3rd term.

Nah you are right, best to do nothing i guess /s
Prom7766
America is the most difficult country in the world to take over and you're expecting a few thousand civilians to handle it. As if they won't mow us down and call us terrorists.
There's not a single target we could take out that would stop them.
Honestly, if you're all so scared just get together and attack us yourselves. The combined might of several countries has to be better than a few dudes with rifles, right?
Or take a plane ride over here and handle things personally since it's so easy.

Fucking organize a multiple-day country wide general strike. Like I've been suggesting since the orange moron was elected.
To us Europeans is BAFFLING how chill you are as that guy literally strips naked your democracy.
You literally do your day to day like nothing is happening instead of properly organizing. Its kinda chilling to see happen in real time tbh.
andexer
And what would that do? Most of us will be out of money (starving and homeless) before anything happens as a result. And where has a general strike of the populace forced a leader to resign?
ClessAurion
Most of you will be out of money starving and homeless either way after they're done with you.
Us citizens that were poorer and in a more dire situation a hundred years ago have done what I'm suggesting. It really isn't as good of an excuse you think it is.
JMassHysteria
The vast majority of us live a distance of multiple European countries away from the Orange twat. So marching to the capital to strike is nearly impossible. And even if we all just decided to stop working tomorrow, striking in our individual cities and towns, there’s a frightening number of people who actively want him to keep doing what he’s doing, many of whom would actively obstruct those of us trying to stop these horrors. Not to mention the fear of law enforcement killing us.
ClessAurion
Many say that. It's the problem, the capital is irrelevant. Big numbers and multitudes are great for news coverage. You aren't aiming at that. Neither were Americans a century ago, and they were in a way worse situation than the average today.
You do it because it's the only thing the assholes that are hurting you care about
A huge chunk of Americans (double digit %) get together to literally stay at home one or two days, and the the economy suffers in the billions. Remember covid? Like that
Callipygius
What do you think would happen? Trump would resign? You think the Republicans would impeach him? I think it would just make life shittier for those who already have the shittiest lives until they have to die or work
ClessAurion
Definitely not, of course. And they are already doing the making shitty part already so... No changes there.
You are putting pressure on their government. You are making people that are undecided to take sides, and you are forcing g the moneybags to actually have to do something about it.
Doing fuckall like that, or get a couple thousand people here and there randomly everytime something bad happens... Does nothing but exactly what they want and expect of you
NonstopRampage
They still have internet. That's the lynchpin. They can be priced out of everything, be stuck homeless, starving and sick, and still be content enough to do nothing. You can take away their porn. They don't care, because they can still get on twitter and youtube.
billmike019000
Do you know how big the us is ? It’s easy for you europeans to say …strike…just about all of Europe would fit in one or two of our states …
ClessAurion
That makes no sense. Look what a strike is, because I think you are thinking about people on the streets, which yes, but its about a massive percent of the population refusing to work to give a massive hit to the economy so the leaders (and people with money) shit their pants a bit.
You could literally contribute to it by staying at home (although ideally, you don't)

Neanderthalersutopiaphilandrousanteatersotherbrother
I suppose not all Americans are on the fascist side but I only meant the hanging part, doesn't matter how we get there
hyperchondriac
I politely disagree. I think the "getting there" part is very much the million dollar question. How does one depose a tyrant who controls the world's most powerful (and apparently, quite willing) military, and has the populace trapped in a brutal police state.
NonstopRampage
When gaddafi was cornered, and his bunker couldn't take any more hammering, he tried to flee the country in a military convoy. His victims grouped up in such large numbers, that the convoy couldn't even bowl through them. He was ripped out of his vehicle, torn literally limb from limb, and violated with a broom handle before death.
As a canadian, whose nation is at risk of being dragged into war? FUCK 'getting there the right way'. He is a threat to the world and it's AMERICAS JOB to stop him.
Neanderthalersutopiaphilandrousanteatersotherbrother
Yeah, the military being that willing was kind of a surprise for me too..
And he's not the real problem. He's the orange face of it. The entire system needs reform.
The 2nd amendment could come in handy but the crazy guys with the guns are on his side too..
But from Europe i really really hope you guys can turn it around.

Sonicschilidogs
Italy is a fucking ant compared to the US in terms of geographic size, and the motherfucker has private planes, military escorts, and secret service details in the modern age of digital spying and data collection..... Not exactly analogous to Mussolini.....
Neanderthalersutopiaphilandrousanteatersotherbrother
Mussolini had the equivalent of that in his time..
You have a better suggestion?
Sonicschilidogs
He realllllly didn't though, he was captured after trying to run to the border in disguise as a common soldier. No plane, no NSA surveillance, small geographic area for citizens to cover. Hitler is truly the best analog for Trump.
Neanderthalersutopiaphilandrousanteatersotherbrother
It doesn't matter how, it just has to get done.
I only meant the public hanging part, but i dont care how he dies. I want his grave to become the #1 unisex bathroom.
Sonicschilidogs
Sprawling domestic surveillance network, jackboot thugs that ship residents to camps, zealot cult followers, large and industrialized military, and relatively vast expanse of land with which citizens would have to cover to get to him, and yet he had the logistical ability to evade any attempts by land, air, or sea.
jayman0123
Please remember other countries that are saying "just go get him," our police force, that has hundreds of cops in every city in the country, are better equipped than most countries' militaries. We have police departments that have literally tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, drones, and explosives.
So yes we are taking suggestions.
SergeyPrkl
you have 300 million people. They can't kill EVERYONE?
jayman0123
Of the 300 million, about 70 million are children, 70-80 million support trump, 1 million of them are police officers, 2-4 million are in the US military, 70 million couldn't be bothered to even vote let alone revolt, and the remaining 70 million are spread out across 4 million square miles of country
SergeyPrkl
And? So, you are OK with it. Got it. This doesn't come as a surprise. It seems that Majority of americans are OK with this, murdering innocent etc.. It is what americans wanted.
jayman0123
So your suggestion is that I, a single citizen, get in my car with the $27 that is in my bank account, and drive the 4297 kilometers across the country, running out of gas and money along the way and what? Assassinate a few hundred people? You're a fucking moron.
personwhoisaperson
You're likely to get shot by a cop in the US whether you do anything about your president or not. Might as well take someone with you when you go, since you'll go either way.
bigtitsbutnotthesexykind
It sounds to me like a swift and decisive operation means the people have literal tanks, armoures vehicles, machine guns, drones and explosives. And I am assuming not all cops are pro Orange cheeto. There are more of the people than there are of the police. It might be scary, but I don't think the landing on Omaha was just a nice walk on the beach. You've tried being nice. Now try the othr way?
TheFastpaws
You act like the people in the Arab Spring, Hong Kong, Syria and more didn't face militaries trying to kill them.
TheWarHymn
Even in a city with a large police force like Chicago, cops are outnumbered by citizens 200 to 1. You have the most civilian-owned guns in the world and 2A. Maybe its still early to go in shooting, but you still have time to prepare and organize. Also, civil disobedience can take many forms. Ghandi's people stopped paying taxes and boycotted businesses that supported the government, among other things.
NonstopRampage
Let's not forget that they only chose nonviolent resistance simply because they didn't have the numbers to fight back. Ghandi simply pushed for the logical choice- if they had enough manpower, he wouldn't have gone full pacifist.
TheWarHymn
FYI things started non-violent, but Ghandi's supporters absolutely went to town shortly after Ghandi and his crew were arrested by the British for inciting civil disobedience. They rioted for weeks and burned down thousands of rail stations, police stations, and post offices.
NonstopRampage
Makes sense. I just like to point out that ghandi was by no means a staunch pacifist like people think. He made a pragmatic decision. People always use him as an example when telling people to leave their abusers/oppressors/killers alone, and I'd rather nip that in the bud whenever I can.

People did that shit in 2020. It didn't move the needle an inch. In fact, it would have resulted in a massacre if it weren't for heroes like Gen. Milley who pushed back on Trump's desire to murder protesters. Those heroes are gone. The actions you prescribe will absolutely result in a slaughter if not a full-on pogrom on protesters and dissidents across the entire U.S.
It's absolutely ludicrous to compare French police (or any other police force) with the American police. French police are
Anfalicious
BLM became a global movement. In Australia it brought the issue of deaths in custody to the fore again and resulted in changes to police procedures. It's cultural impact is well shown of you watch how tv like law and order completely changed their vibe. Did it stop police brutality? No. Did it wake up many white people? Absolutely. Would it result in slaughter? Probably. Do you get your country back without that anyway? Probably not.

Far less militarized and, more importantly, view themselves as members of their communities.

badgerwedontneednostinkingbadgers
It's not go kill yourself it's fix the fucking problem you created before it escalates to WW3

Unfortunately for them the longer they wait the more likely it becomes "go kill yourself". This is why you need to be doing the peaceful protesting *PRO*-actively, not *RE*-actively.
Arkandos
You haven't even tried nonviolent actions. But all Americans can think of are murder. American exceptionalism is keeping you so far under the boot.
Where's the general strike? Where are the nationwide protests shutting everything down? The riots, the political action and organisation?
That's right, nobody cares enough. "We can't or we get fired!". You think people that protested in other countries had it kushty when they did it? What a fucking joke
Schrefu
Then people are like "but we cannot afford to do strikes, shutdowns, and protests. Joe Shmoe is struggling to get by". If Africans and Ecuadorians and Venezuelans could do it at the worst of their economy, surely you can.

The problem is bread & circuses. Americans have it too good, they are fed, cared for, and entertained. But they're at the same time pushed down enough that they think political action won't do anything.

The longer you hold out, the more your government will take from you. It is your collective inaction that has brought you here."

Deadflower394857
The "gotcha" is attempting to point out to you that individual poor Americans don't have power over billionaires, and aggressively blaming them for not somehow fixing an imperialist fascist country themselves is unreasonable. Even you yourself dont have a plan for what we could do, because you clearly haven't put much thought into this.
FrancsTireur
I dont need to put any thought into it because its not my country. Here's what happens when it becomes "my problem", as an officer in the British army, every American who threatens my home or my allies is a target. I wont ask who you voted for, I wont show you any mercy because we used to be friends, I'll defend my nation if it means killing every single person in yours.

Ride a bike 2000 km to go storm the Capitol?

The actual answer of what to do is mutual aid, support your local community. Support each other, build strength for the coming fight.

So nothing as far as what OP is saying. OP is saying we need to stop Trump, not survive him.

So, there's this thing called Population Density, and it tends to increase the closer you are to Important Stuff. There's also these things called State Capitals which hold the government buildings of your local representatives.
"What do you expect people in Nebraska to do?" is the wrong question. What can the 8,000,000 people of New York do? What can the 4,000,000 people within driving distance of Frankfurt, Kentucky do? And really, what can the 700,000 people in Washington DC do?
A lot.

Whatever they can. That's the whole effing point.
2074red2074
And what can they?
Eidodk
You should ask them. Sitting back and crying about being poor isn't helping anyone.
2074red2074
No, you're asserting that they can do something, so you tell me what that is.

American exceptionalism at work once more I see
FractalShoggoth
That's not what that term means.
2074red2074
That's not really exceptionalism. It simply is a fact that it's harder to effect change the further you are physically from your center of government, and America is a lot bigger than most countries and really shit when it comes to public transportation.
Arkandos
Then organise. Work together. Help one another. You have more cars than people.

Oh yeah, let's all quit our jobs, leave our elderly and disabled family we're caring for (because we don't have free healthcare) to die, and drive for several days to get to Washington D.C. And let's not worry about the fact that we're all in poverty and can't afford the gas needed to get there, the fact that this convoy would be noticed and the feds would have a fucking week to prepare for us, and the fact that we don't have a supply line and would have to disperse for food after three days.

Making up scenarios nobody mentioned, good as always.

Shut the country down in a general strike. Unless nebraska is in some kind of alternate corn dimension and not in the us, that’s what you can do.
Arkandos
The alternate corn dimension, I like that
Arkandos
Not let it get to this point. You've had clear signs for decades.
Now you're here, and it's time to dig deep to get out of the shithole.
Also, fuck you for talking down on other countries.
2074red2074
No, the person above didn't say that we shouldn't have allowed this to happen. I would agree with that statement. What he said was that we aren't doing enough to fix it. That's kind of the problem with a huge country like this. A lot of people live so far away from their leaders (both political and economic) that they literally cannot do anything to actually effect change outside of utilizing the systems set up by the very leaders they're trying to oust. Also, fuck you too.
Arkandos
Nah, you're just too americawashed. This is the whole point of community, unions, organisations. To organise. But you've elected not to. So lie in the bed you've made.
2074red2074
Again, you're criticizing the choices that led to this situation. I don't disagree with that.

Start growing food like potatoes and stuff, it will help feed your poor while they fight the good fight
