Watchu gon do about it Americans?
Like posts and leave comments that regurgitate their feed’s content or assumptions at the time. And that’s about it until their feeds move onto another topic in the next 48 hours.
It’s a really easy country to get away with shit which is why so many take advantage of that. The population is toothless and part of the ongoing indoctrination is that they’re free and the best, so there’s really no threat from them at all.

The Secret Service, FBI, and CIA are actively busting every attempt at oppositional organizing. Telegram, Discord, and so on are all open books for intelligence organizations, they don’t need to get a court order and the Patriot Act gives them free reign. AI increases their ability to sift through all of that information.
Do they read everything? Probably not… but they read enough to consistently stop every attempt so far, and to run counter intel on any movement of size.
In other words, you can’t organize online discretely for long. Anything successful must be small, and have impeccable counter-intel. It’s not 1776 any longer.
Balkanization is our only hope, in my opinion; our debt-based economy will collapse in on itself at some point. This will be a world-wide event and nobody will be happy with the result, I think.

Then one day, when everyone is pissed past any limit, some event happens that acts as a catalyst and people flood the streets and start taking things into their own hands. And that kinda sucks tho.
