Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer.

theres a difference now though. the rich have amassed more wealth and power than ever before and technology has multiplied that power many times over. In countries like the US, the fascistic and oppressive systems that have been put in place have become nearly unbreakable by any realistic means. A civil war is not realistic without outside support from other countries. And that’s not realistic. Smaller countries can have revolts because they don’t have the systems the US has in place. They aren’t militarized and policed to even a fraction of the amount. The US public only worsens the issue because it has been purposefully de-educated over many decades.

The world has not been this way before.
