  Why? Because the alternative will lead to people watching their loved ones get hurt or die. People are used to a peaceful existence for the most part, and particularly in the US, food and medicine being regularly available.

  If we have to shoot our way out, many will pay a grave cost. I’m not saying it’s not a potential outcome, and if it comes to that, it is what it is, but I don’t blame people for wanting to find any alternative that doesn’t involve the complete social collapse of a civilization.

    Multilateral approaches to revolution are statistically way more successful. Meaning there have to be multiple factions but usually some use force or threat of force to back up the peaceful majority. Thems be the facts

    Well if fighting is too high a cost then you could just live with and just accept the new order and probably live a completely normalish life assuming climate collapse isn’t as bad as projected.

    Which I’m afraid what most people will end up doing.

    Obviously a violent approach shouldn’t be chosen first or lightly or at all if possible—but that doesn’t mean people can’t and shouldn’t start taking steps to defend themselves from illegal violence from the ruling class.

    People right now can learn how to operate, maintain and store firearms safely. People right now can form militias and community defense groups as a deterrence from the ruling class violence.

    None of that have to mean performing acts of violence, but can help us have a stronger position to bargain in the future.

    Technically people didn’t vote their way into this if we are to believe the second election was rigged… but that doesn’t matter now does it

    it’s like you can jump out of lava

      Unless you’re dead, you can at least try. Beats folding your arms and complaining that this jumping strategy pails in comparison with your superiour strategy of wishing really hard you could fly.

        You wouldn’t even have time to fold your arms before you were dead. Being able to jump into the lava doesn’t imply that jumping can save you from lava.

  Genuine questions: then what is the solution and how have you contributed to it?

  • lumettaria@sopuli.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Genuine answer: organizing with your fellow people, and forming communities. It’s not an accident that seems such a monumental task today when historically it was the only reason people survived hardship.
