Well tell us your four point plan about how to overthrow the US government and take back control. You can base it on one of the numerous revolutions you have obviously been a part of. It’s not like you are just some asshole who doesn’t really know anything about it and you are just greatly oversimplifying the situation…that couldn’t be it.

Go to Truesizeof.net and look at how fucking big America is. It’s roughly as big as all the countries involved with the Arab Spring events added together but it would basically have to be overthrown all at once. We can’t overthrow Virginia then slowly work our way around to other states.
People outside America act like we are doing nothing but there are protests, riots, and people are getting disappeared by ICE every day. There is no magical way to get a few million people to roll over the White House becuase the president has his own very violent army (ICE) and much of the military supports him becuase they fired all the generals who didn’t.
We are not spoiled fat lazy childten. Most of us work at least two jobs and still live paycheck to paycheck. Roughly 60% of the population is one patcheck away from homelessness.
…but yeah all Americans are lazy fat fucks for not fixing a situation you have never been in or offer any real solutions for.

Look at France because theybwantes to raise the retirement age. Maybe we should start making jokes about Americans being docile. Like they make fun of the French being cowards.

As someone who’s working on starting a diyhrt homebrew and joining the SRA: unless you’ve lived through the rise of fascism stfu, chances are if you lived here you’d be doin jack shit too.
Fascism/late stage capitalism is exhausting by design. If I didn’t spend the past decade removing corporate software from my computers I don’t even know how I’d be comfortable doing any of this safely.
Proper privacy in today’s day in age requires understanding of Linux systems administration/, basic network architecture, and virtualization.
If you’re not splitting your identities/footprint across several permanent and burner VM’s w/ different public IP’s you’re probably doing it wrong.
How is that reasonable to expect out of the average person?

Call up your local NAACP and find activist groups to be a part of. Advocate for yourself instead of waiting for whitey to save you from the mess they created.
