In theory, if we all stopped working and spending, it would stop within days. The system is set up to make that extremely difficult, risky and painful, but in theory we could get change through overwhelming collective action.
I have a different suggestion
Lemmy always wants a revolution, but here's the problem, you need someone to lead and organize it and there is absolutely nobody in that position.
Particularly if Trump goes ahead with his action of destroying Iran tonight. There is no organized civilian resistance to that and even if you started organizing today, it would be months before you could overturn a sitting President, if at all.
non-statesians on lemmy want statesians to go die at the problem because that is one more method that means they don't have to get off their asses
Yup, or alternatively, bad actors in Russia or China itching for a new US Civil War.

okay i've heard dorothy shay before (i'm not like well versed in her music) but this song is new to me and i did not know she was called the park avenue hillbilly and that little factoid cracked me up this morning. thank you for this song.
Statesians on Lemmy want non-statesians to be killed because that is one more method that means they don't have to get off their asses.
Stop within days, but Trump is threatening action tonight, which is why I say there's nothing civilians can do about it.
