Even that’s just a bandaid fix because it should really be all genuine humans against all other humans that play “the game”.
Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US?

People want a turn to drive the hate bus. There’s an idea that the US is the nexus of racism and slavery, but someone had to sell the slaves and I’m guessing if you went to a place like Thailand and started calling everyone Vietnamese (or vice versa), there’d be some problems sooner than later.

Or just a US revolution could work. We don’t have to kill everyone.
mrdown@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That would be a good solution but world war 3 looks more probable

you misspelled profitable.

For whom? Even those making nuclear weapons, have a high chance of dying in the war, have their possessions destroyed, their investments ruined.

Half of America actively support this shit. They are a LONG way from doing anything about this themselves.

Not even 1/4th, and that’s counting the stupid, ignorant and disconnected. 77M of 342M voted for him.

People who stayed home with fascism on the ballot are as good as fascists themselves.

So half your country won’t be moaning and denouncing and overall being sad next time and assassination attempt is made against Trump, right?
… Right anakin?
Yeah, right.

The other half is almost completely oblivious or just doesn’t care what the US does abroad. They only start caring when American soldiers start dying in significant numbers, like in Iraq and Afghanistan. I definitely agree with the other poster who said WW 3 would be a more likely scenario than US revolution because of actions like this.

How is the US population to unite, self organize into militias and erect barricades with the current surveillance state and social media polarization?
Americans are staying at home doom scrolling and getting angry about their scarecrow neighbors they are made to dislike.
We know for sure that Americans are not ready to do anything more than voting and praying to answer any form of the social question. Haven’t been for a while. We’re on the slope of them not caring about the political question either. It’s all bread, circuses and surveillance algorithms.

Don’t forget about the Sword of Damocles that is the lack of social safety nets. Also, political ignorance is a feature, not a bug in our political system. A quarter of the American population would kill the rest because they think the regime is “hurting the right kind of people” and not anybody that they care about. This also includes the minorities who will soon learn that being “one of the good ones” just means that they go to the showers later rather than sooner.

I share your pessimism. My answer had nothing to do with what might actually happen.
