That is the goal of this style of facist takeover (for example Putins regime).

The opposition to Putin in Russia are literal Nazis, but go off please.

"The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine: it's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident." -Nemik, Andor S1

You think Tony Gilroy was talking about Russia?

Is that why he gave the rebels AK47 blasters?

You lost the plot, guy.

Can’t organize revolution if you’re all burnt out just trying to survive. Though Americans could probably all stop working for a week or two and end all of this, half of you hates the other half so you’d never band together and support each other for something as little as… Freedom?

Most of use majority even think of taking two weeks off with no pay would end up homeless. Hell even with a job that did give me 3 weeks a year only allowed use for 1 week at a time.

Take that and how huge this country is compared to say France hard to organize. Also they keep us separated and polarized against each other. By race, politics, and class. We spend to much time end fighting each other then working together.

One reason they are trying lockdown the internet. And social media is the also terrible for us they keep us in bubbles.

Those barriers didn't stop us back in the early 1900s when workers literally went to war with the state for the rights to unionize.

That's why it is paramount to organize your communities to counteract the polarization of said communities by outside forces. No one said it is going to be easy, but it is absolutely necessary

Rwanda comes to mind

Can't imagine why. Things are going so well for everyone.

It's ironic that he was tired, but his name was coffee.

Except those who are fueled by twitterslop rage-bait-farms. Somehow their energy to target minorities is endless.

[–] sunsofold@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Or they trade off when they get tired because there are enough of them with a shared goal.

[–] Cheese_man@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

We are the 71%

I'm not American and I'm also exhausted of hearing about their stupid president.
