Break your electoral chains

“If we could just get rid of one guy all would be saved” good one

You’re in U.S occupied Korea so you should know shit’s fucked beyond just one guy

What’s improved since you impeached a 3rd president in the last 20 years? A less outwardly corrupt president was elected?

Yes.

I need my Tankie siblings to look at these comments and tell me it’s worth conversing with any of these people lmao, let them play in their own shit. If they’ll ever be convinced, the material failures of their worldview will do it for us, if not- the future’s ash and fertilizer welcome them.

Yes, funny that you mentioned the American perception of danger.

Any time I mention visiting a country outside of western europe / the caribbean tourist hell- I literally get told I’m going to be chopped up or murdered.

I think any american willing to travel outside of the aforementioned places is someone with a mind already changed. For me it only confirmed what I already knew about the rest of the world.

And some of your replies are very correct, and a surface level conversation with most american hogs will prove it: the majority have not traveled abroad and many aren’t even well versed in the states / workings of their own country.

I think the death penalty is silly even from an evil standpoint, death is a kind release compared to life in an American prison.

This is a difficult topic because on the one hand I don’t believe banning weapons addresses the root problems of violence in the first place (access to automatic weapons in the USA has decreased yet mass shooting are way up), but at the same time recent events have shown that despite being the most armed populace in the world, U.S americans refuse to even lift a finger while people are being ripped off the streets and shoved through concentration camps.

An armed people can still be a docile people.

I will mention though, even with bans- it is extremely easy to produce automatic firearms both conventional and 3-printed. I’m not convinced that a ban would be effective at hindering mass shooters in the U.S. We can bring up the statistics of other countries that lack the same firearm access of the US but I’m not sure those are apples to apples comparisons given the differences in material conditions.

There will not be relative calm but it will stamp out much of the fervor the masses have right now, brunch will be back

Even if Zohran the Zionist were the pale of water many hope him to be, he would just be buying american capitalism more time- much like FDR. It has to burn

Americans are lazy, entitled, and careless- that much is indisputable fact. But it is also true that these characteristics are acculturated and not individual moral failings.

We are long away from a general strike in the US given the attitude of the average american and the complete lack of class consciousness / solidarity. What’s likely is that the Dems will seize some electoral power back, and much of the current political fervor will die- as it usually does. And then the republican party, emboldened by Trump proving that they can just do whatever they want, will come back with a competent figurehead.

The idea of an impending civil war is very optimistic given the fact that there’s been 0 opposition to right wing policy or even the recent city wide military occupations. We have a militarized fascist force quite literally kidnapping people from their jobs and homes while the most heavily armed populace in the world stands back and watches, slacked jawed- and I’m supposed to believe there will be a domestic war? This is a bridge I will not buy.

Conditions will have to get much worse in the united states before people finally take meaningful action (non electoral, potentially violent), the good news is that we have 3 more years for that reality to come to pass and Trumps bad optics (the only thing that actually bothers americans) are bringing the future’s inevitability to today’s doorstep.

46% of people across 29 countries still believing that “the US will have a positive influence on world affairs” is insane

I’m choosing to believe that they think the collapse of US empire will have positive ripples globally

As some of the replies to your comment show, many only care about aesthetics

Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word “master” intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.

It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new “objective” truth will wield considerable power.
