My guess is that their revolt will be similar as the recent Chinese and Russian ones.

There's a revolt in China and Russia?

It sucks that the USA is associated with the bald eagle because IMO it's still a beautiful bird and it did nothing to deserve the association. And also for me, the fact that they sound like seagulls makes them even more relatable because it has an annoying voice just like me 😆

Ikr, they sound so funny and not at all like the majestic yet hyper masculine beasts they are usually portrayed as.

I work for an US company and I got a day off, it is curious, cause Im from Costa Rica, and I belong to the bribri indigenous nation, and we commemorate Pa Bru day, an ancient leader who stopped Spanish incursions to our land in 1710. So I wish, from the deepest of my soul and for my ancestor that you, US fellows, rebel!

We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.

Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.

Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

They're finally doing one on a weekday? Excellent. I like the concept of these protests but they seem so trivial when they involve people pretty much just hanging out with signs in front of empty government buildings. Having it on a weekday means disrupting business and work schedules. Don't let them ignore you.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I still cannot fathom why they scheduled on a weekday for the next one. If you want turnout schedule for the weekends.

I know people should go out regardless, but they have bills to pay. A lot of people can't afford to miss a shift and vacation time is far too limited

Because defending your democracy isn't a weekend fucking sport. How many days a week are the fascists trying to tear down your democracy? Because that's the same energy you need to bring to defend it.

No, they need to be on weekdays. They need to disrupt business and be visible. Weekend protests in front of empty government buildings are worthless.

Edit: worthless was the wrong word. They're not worthless, they just seem too easy to ignore for rich politicians who just go to one of their vacation homes every weekend. Or stay at home in their giant homes outside the city.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It just simply won't have the same turnout. Frankly I think weekend protests are more visible since the average person is more likely to be out and about and not at their job.

I think making the people see it and then you pressure the politicians. The politicians don't give a fuck if thousands of people are gathered outside a building.

I attend my local protests and take the time off to do so. The last no kings protests pulled well over 1,000. Other weekend protests typically pull around 300 - 400 people. Weekday protests typically pull barely 100, if we're lucky 150 people. It just has less impact.

How about a general strike? More than protests but non-violent.

It worked for Germany after WW I.

I 100% support a general strike, but (1) I think that's a lot more difficult to organize than revolt, which can be spontaneous, and (2) I don't think a general strike and a revolt are mutually exclusive tactics.

First past the post voting system isn't democratic and can easily be corrupted by Gerrymandering.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean yeah, I vibe with this, but did you mean to reply to something else? 😄

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, I meant that revolting against a government without an election system change is replacing one almost dictatorship with another.

I'll believe it when I see it. The Americans seem perfectly content with how things are.
