Disagree. Russia will see a coup or revolution before a proper war. They have utterly failed against Ukraine, itās unbelievable to me how much they have failed. I have been observing the invasion, now and again, from before day 1.
Suicide for the human race? Duh. And thatās climate change.
See my instance. Iām aware. I can say for sure that the oligarchy here in America wants the whole world to perish while they wait it out in their self-sufficient bunkers.
Then donāt use it. Just like we have a post office, and UPS. But you need communications to be centralized somewhat lol, thatās how communcation works. You also wouldnāt say anything on there you wouldnāt say in a Town Hall, it would be your official profile. The power structure also wouldnāt be as centralized as regular social media- thatās why you can sue and demand things, based on constitution and bill of rights and other laws. That means you actually have ppwer over it.
I argue for decentralized, loosely standardized, democratic, socialist structures. The legal system is absolutely and completely busted. I really shouldnāt need to get into that. Hopefully you can agree that the Supreme Court is beyond saving. Your idea is a fantasy, but itās a nice one if there was any state that truly represented its populace. I do value it though, and even if I call it a fantasy, I like it in theory.
Thereās no legal way for us to depose the government or even to suggest to depose the government. I would never organize to depose the government.
Guess we just let Trump destroy the government and install a dictatorshipā¦
I disagree, we do have power. This government is entirely ineffective, even before Trump rose to power, and Iām not going to roll over and lose any semblance of democracy - Iām going to do my best to save democracy with democracy. Hopefully you come to agree at some point. I never imagined to hear you use legality as an excuse. Trump and the current administration are taking a shit on our legislative branch and our laws in a general sense. 77 million voted for Trump. There may be around 290 million citizens. There are approximately 344 million people living in the US. The numbers are there to take back democracy with democracy. I am completely serious.
Complicated topics cannot be summarized in a Tweet or Lemmy post, they take time like books, long form media, or yes, documentaries and news interviews, gasp.
If people in debates are told to source their claims, they provide the direct context, and there is a preference towards direct evidence, primary sources, and specific excerpts.

A major goal of nearly every Russian war is to kill off their own young men (in this war, esp indigenous people living near Mongolia are being sent to war to die). A lot of wars are like that - two leaders with populations that are getting agitated, send them to fight each other and take all their stuff and their women. Classic attack by the top to the bottom and gaslight them that it was for a good cause the whole time. Maybe Russia could have a coup or revolution, but maybe not. Hasnāt happened to Putin yet but we can dream.
I think itās the global wealthy, but same. The Titanic sub was a preview of the wealthyās hubris when it comes to science.
I think our legal system as its bare bones isnāt bad. The way arguments are presented etc. It was formed via Greek philosophy, at the same time as ideas like democracy lol. They are intrinsically related and good faith arguments and logic are the cornerstone of progress and society and fact. Thereās so many amazing, empowering, and incredible things about our legal system.
But thereās many many things that can be done to reform the issues in it incl the Supreme Court. I figure you would like it, because it is decentralized and one of the only ways an average citizen can get any kind of power in this country over their government. Pretty rad.
Yeah again my plans are not your business and not something I discuss online. Youre giving off Fed energy over there.
I can tell youāve never been homeless or did anything with the homeless network. Ever hear of Slab City? The government is effective as a slave machine and will grind you up in it no problem. I am an abolitionist first, and imo the most important thing is to stay free as much as possible and to hold onto the power you have as much as possible. Being thoughtful during fascist takeover is wise. Take battles wisely.
The documentary is direct evidence, primary sources, and specific excerpts. Literally thereās even pictures. Itās so solid as evidence and as a case, they didnāt even get sued by Trump over it (avoiding discovery). Length does not determine validity. And itās so weird of you to push back on it as a source just because youāre too big of a baby to learn what everyone else has been talking about for years - it came out in 2018.
If you want to do this democratically - then go to the protests and town halls and talk to people. Go ahead. Iām not stopping you, there are many movements like that.

I concede, but I think some are more prepared than others.
Perhaps there are solid foundations present, but slow reform will not save us. We literally canāt afford to delay immediate action.
You were free to not engage, that was me being incredibly brave in light of recent developments. I donāt take great measures to hide my identity online and I donāt care to.
Then why didnāt the US government under Biden take action? Iām serious. I immediately told you Iād check them out, I am aware of the allegations loosely being made by at least the book from other sources.
We need country-scale action. I spend most of my days living with impaired health, bed-bound - I can do only so much by myself. Iām doing my best to improve my health when doctors arenāt trying to kill me. I have had extremely life-threatening encounters with the healthcare system.
I have lived in a rural area, in poverty, without much dignity at all, and with chronic illness my entire life. I am gay, autistic, regularly discriminated against, I have experienced prolonged sexual abuse with absolutely no support, and I am effectively a dissident in the state I live in. And I have volunteered to directly help the homeless in the past. Iām not the vanguard, Iām just giving small nudges here and there where I can and am able.

Wisdom is as important as bravery.
They tried but Barr and Mueller were limp dicks. It represents a MAJOR FAILURE of that admin along with the election interference.
I said that about homelessness because it is true anarchy, and maximum danger by the state, and no homeless person or formerly homeless would call the state ineffective or think it wouldnāt try to immediately enslave them when it notices them. Slab City is a homeless city in the desert, and they arenāt even safe there from police taking them. And yes online stories say no cops in the Slabs but that isnāt true, police go by routinely.
Helping the homeless isnāt the same in terms of the anarchist way of living and mindset towards the state, although it is kind.
Online communities are great for disabled people but yes can represent a danger these days.
I am not a doctor but if you ever want help with vitamins and your health issues, I can try to give you reasonable recommendations and tell you why I recommend it with studies or explanation. I have celiac so I am super familiar with every vitamin deficency and am pretty good at helping people feel a little better at least. I know having a chronic illness is the absolute worst, especially when doctors donāt know and you arenāt getting better.

I really appreciate that, Iāll consider taking you up on that after I get blood-work next.
