We're kinda at the do nothing and be murdered or do something and then maybe get killed for it stage.

Starting to seem like trying is the better option

Sometimes it's better to die on your feet rather than your knees.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Talk the talk.

If we really honestly can’t figure out a better plan than to get our little glocks and go plink at em, then okay. But we’d have to be a whole lot dumber than I think we are.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm all ears on how your going to reason with might makes right peole to give up their power

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No, you're right. We're being brigaded. A lot of accounts popping up out of nowhere with faulty -- to be generous -- knowledge of the US.

If the money is corrupting all players and steering the agenda, why not go after it? When we strike directly at agents of force, then we are directly attacking family and friends of a multitude of others, including of folks that may be trying to reconcile things. It will rile up his base into murder frenzy. Many undecided (dummies) will get swept up in the frenzy, because they’ll defer thinking to others around them. The rabid base have few relationships with their oligarch masters.

Lobotomize their think tanks.

Cut out the tongues of their media propagandists.

Bring any and all levels of direct action against the class that is causing this.

Plinking at them with our little glocks worked for 20 years in the Middle East.

Don't ever underestimate will.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they were plinking with AKs and RPGs

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Small arms is small arms

The Vietnamese did it and they were trapped in a cave with a bunch of scrap metal.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The Vietnamese were bad ass. But they didn’t have to fight facebook.

Buy a weapon before they close that pipeline.

I mean on the other hand, Trump kind of does want violent resistance to spring up so provide the Reichstag burning he's been waiting for to amplify the cracking down. I mean, they kinda already had the Charlie Kirk shooting, and he kind of already can institute martial law whenever (it's not constitutional but neither has been a single thing he's done lately), and martial law won't really lead to anything on its own anyway... I dunno, let's keep resisting in effective ways. One idea is to make ICE's life hell so they loathe their jobs and go home.

I've got a better idea, go to one of the net worth websites, take your pick and make some real change happen.

Eating the rich is an effective way is my point

Well yes that's the main part of the plan, of course
