Censoring FUCK seems kind of ironic.

I think your right

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Fuckity-fuck this censored-ass Internet. Shitcockballs

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

It's pathetic. The fucking internet is great for saying fuck, this pansy-ass self-censoring really needs to stop.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 57 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Capitalism is very good at protecting itself.

Join a union and vote radical left.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

vote radical left.

If people voted based on issues instead of party loyalty...the US would be a completely different country.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People should vote in their genuine best self interest, which is working class in 99% of all cases and they would have been best served with a mostly socialist party. So I guess i agree that party loyalty isn't great.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

party loyalty is great, you should always make sure your party hasn't magically become a different party since the last time you voted.

imagine if social democrats could stop fucking turning themselves into neolibs, even the socialists here in sweden seem to be threatening to ease off the leftism

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 4 days ago

Thats ehy party loyalty sucks ass. Just look at the last 5 yrs of a party to make your voting decision. Who did what and why? Its not hard.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s especially good at protecting itself from literally zero threats.

Let’s not pretend Americans are putting up any kind of fight at all.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right, because capitalism has conditioned us to be complacent.

Which other system was not good at that?

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 10 points 1 week ago

Every other system. Capitalism is far more adaptable, which is not a good sign btw. Because if a system fails to provide for its citizens it should make way for others.

In terms of providing, others were better.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (3 children)

because it turned out Americans are too meek or too ignorant to act

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

People need to miss at least three meals in a row before they start getting serious. We don't have the material conditions yet to act.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's like trying to put on the seatbelt after the crash

Humans are dumb at the macro scale

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How are you gonna act with an empty stomach tho?

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Without an alternative. People get very unhappy when they're starving.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Very hungry.

On fat reserves.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It also doesn't help that all of the people with guns, like the current situation. They may subsequently change their mind when the realities of the situation start to hit in a few years, but currently they're alright with it.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Not all gun owners like the current situation.

Source: Gun Owner, do not like current situation. There's a vast difference between a responsible gun owner and those ammosexuals who just want to be given an excuse to open fire at anything.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The rampant delusion that right-wing conservatives are the only Americans with guns lol. Possibly they're just the only ones dumb enough to believe their guns and weekend target shooting would enable them to win against the US military. That would kind of make sense, cuz they'd assume Jeezus would be on their side.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I guess Jesus was on Vietnam and Afghanistan's side

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Like the idea of a bunch of cave dwelling zealots beating three empires in a row, absurd

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I definitely wouldn't say "all". There's plenty of us with guns that do not like the situation. What exactly do you expect everyone to do, go outside and shoot their Republican neighbor? Someone tried shooting Trump, and most leftists with >2 brain cells would agree that it would've been an absolute shit show if he'd succeeded in killing him.

I don't disagree that the group of people that like the situation are more heavily armed than the group of people that dislike it, but the same thing has been said for a decade now... Why not start changing that situation?

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m glad people keep thinking like you do.

"Cowardly" is the word you're looking for.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most the population is checked out you’re not getting a revolution until they starve.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago

And the other half of wrecking the US economy is to remove resources from the general population, making it much harder for revolution to happen. So by the time it gets to that point, there will be little resources for most of the population beyond lacking food.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Everything is inherently political and only apathetic cowards disengage from this reality.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Large emphasis on apathetic cowards

[–] arbitrary_sarcasm@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I fully agree with the content OP posted.

But I cannot help myself.

*Your

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Most Americans couldn't revolution their way out of a Walmart.

That’s a dang ol’ fuck, man -Boomhauer

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The kind where you execute your surpressors or where you throw imports into the harbour?

[–] 3dmvr@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Sure, but I miss when the internet was an escape, now its kinda of dead for me, I spend more time offline because of the 24/7 outrage, like yeah im upset too, but it just gets repetitive, im not built to be stressed out constantly, im getting blood pressure issues, had to dlt x because the algoirthim shifted towards controversy hard, and have to use lemmy less since its just depressing/exciting in a bad way news all the time.
Really wish lemmy was an exception, considering how small it is and how powerless the userbase is, yet its just another source of stress in my life lately

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe Lemmy could have support for categorising/tagging communities and/or posts, such that one could follow, block, or maybe filter them. I.e. tag a community "Politics", and users could simply express a lack of interest on the aforementioned category, and see no further from said community and others alike

What would be signs of a revolution?

Small scale political violence and organization of militias.

Oh, look, it's just the fascists doing that.

Enjoy the results of your own policies, neolibs.
