Where are you holding your violent revolution? Are you taking video?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't even live in the states, thankfully. And I'm more than happy to watch from afar.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why tf are you encouraging a violent revolution if you don't even live here? Where are you from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Because America’s problems are the world’s fucking problems. Believe me we’d love nothing more than to be able to stop giving a shit.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OP is 100% justified in calling for a violent revolution from outside. Let me tell you something most Americans don't seem to know. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING the US government is doing right now to its own citizens is still not as bad as USA foreign policy. And people outside the US don't even get a pretend vote.

Everyone on this planet should be calling for the total upheaval of not just the USA, but every nation state. Their very existence is the stupidest most destructive thing humanity could have ever done, leading into modern day capitalism.

So yeah, as usual, burgerbrains can't comprehend anything outside of USA.

So you think a world war is the answer. Nah.

If you're too cowardly to do what needs doing you can just shut up and get out of the way, actively advocating against the only reasonable response is unfathomably pathetic

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Never you mind, sunshine.

And the reason the US public is treated so badly by their government is almost any other country would have strung their politicians up by now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Nah. Half of Europe is just 5-10 years behind the USA, as usual on pretty much any dystopian development.

Says the person who won’t name their own country.

Does it bother you that foreigners have an opinion on your country?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Does it bother you that people question your motives and the veracity of your criticisms when you try to hide yourself from like inspection?

Your country is also very likely a devolving shithole with a sordid past.

"You're not letting me dox you, so I'm gonna assume you're from a third world country which makes your opinion not matter.(but mine does)"

Truly, "Cut a lib and a fascist bleeds."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People usually assume I'm American when I disagree with them, it must have hurt their brain when they realised people outside of America disagree with them too.

Also, it's always interesting to see what assumptions people make about you when you disagree with them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"Dox". Unless you live in Vatican City, naming your country isn't enough to be considered doxxing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Semantics. You're being so pushy for them to reveal info to you it's creepy and suspicious.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Its still creepy to pry personal information from someone on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

lol. You got my number there 🙄

But they said they're not in America

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

I suspect you're just mad you can't pull some whataboutism out of your ass.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Maybe they won't because it's none of your fucking business?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Doesn't matter, they're right and you're just mad that you can't easily deflect to whatever may or may not be going wrong in their home country

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Because it's clearly necessary, fucking duh

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk if you're genuinely stupid or just trying to get people hurt, but fyi speaking openly about violently resisting an oppressive government on unsecure channels is a bad idea for what I would have thought would be obvious reasons. Also seems like you're sarcastically implying that we're not at a point where violent resistance is a reasonable response, in case you haven't bothered watching the news recently a whole lot of people in LA would disagree with that, and there's a shitload of video

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They were mostly peaceful. And when I say most, I mean like 99%. They know how to do it.

Also, this is what most of you are doing in this thread at me.

Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream -- people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).

The goal is to keep opinions we don't want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they've gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

(All of the stuff above is basically the "standard" for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you're above a certain size.)

You pulled that percentage and the following accusation directly out of your ass, it might make you feel better to imagine that everyone who disagrees with you is either a bot or a russian troll but it's not a particularly strong counter-argument, truth is truth regardless of the source

I'm stocking up on guns and ammo at the moment. I'm trying to build an armory and pantry of like 6-12 months of living and Nazi killing.
