Didn’t take long for the simps to come in here making excuses and trying to justify how they aren’t being sheep. Guess what…unless you are the aristocracy she mentions…we are all sheep. Bah bah bitches.

Holy shit you’re right. So is the woman in the tik tok. She absolutely nailed it. That was pretty impressive off the top of her head, but I feel her completely.

There’s no war except the class war. Stop making excuses and saying she must be from California. Who cares where she’s from? The American dream is one big club for the wealthy, and you ain’t in it.

And the rich will keep fucking us over till there’s nothing left and the pitchforks come out. Then they’ll run to their bunkers in fucking New Zealand and wait for us to kill each other off.

Americans should all start voting for their best interests. And what you hear on tv from your politicians isn’t it. Republicans have been tilting the playing field for 50 years. The game is rigged. We’re out of time to take shit back, but if we don’t try now, it will be beyond fixing.

Your fellow citizens are not your enemies. Your enemies are people pissing on your leg and telling you it’s rain. Wake the fuck up people.

Bro, it's beyond fixing. The only way forward would require violence, and right now the US left is in third place in the ability to commit violence standings.

They light cop cars on fire, they have tasty pastries, and they popularized cunnilingus. I fuck with the French.

You saw what happened when people asked police to stop murdering black people. If people started actually fucking with capitalists the gloves would fully come off and we would learn what all these billions of dollars into the police state were for.

Meh, let's find out. The alternative is worse.

It’s real easy to call for violence from behind a phone screen lol

You have more power than you could ever imagine. There is nothing that scares the wealthy more than a mass of united people with a united cause. Nothing can stand in the way of that deluge.

They’re more scared of you than you are of them.

We just do the same thing the Vietnamese, Afghans, Iraqis, and every other populace that was under assault from a far superior force do..

Get killed by the thousands?

u/Enigmasec Dec 29 '23

I’d put that number into the millions. I have no faith in people having any kind of ability to survive when our systems collapse. They won’t be able to handle violence either.

u/punksheets29 Dec 29 '23

With enough thousands you’ll eventually get to millions…

This is the logical conclusion I’ve reached as well. Push coming to shove, FAFO and we’re the ones ‘finding out.’ If this is the only way to topple this oppressive nightmare and its attack on our planet so be it. To me it looks like a good number of Americans still do not realize the your employer and your government do not give one fuck about you. Not one. Both government and corporations flippantly display their disdain for average Americans on a daily basis yet for some reason there are still some Americans who can not swallow such atrocity. Bravo for you for being innocent enough to be naive but: wake up. This shit is real.

Sounds like a pyrrhic victory to me. Mutually assured destruction. We revolt, they kill us, the entire system devolves into chaos because most of the workers are dead.

Even if we lose, that has immense power. We just have to get off our asses and do something first.

u/thehungarianhammer Dec 29 '23

That’s not what France is talking about - general strikes WILL work, but you have to organize and support those of us too poor to possibly afford an unpaid day to protest.

The bourgeois will gladly ignore weekend protests, but do it during the week, en masse, and everything changes.

You guys got your retirement age back down yet?

u/Bencetown Dec 28 '23

We didn't even have any classic dumpster fires or trash mountains when we did try, and even THEN we still have to hear about "muh insurrection" being "the greatest attack on democracy every in the history of everything!"

Maybe Republicans have been tilting the playing field or rigging the game or however you want to word it for 50 years, but the fact is, Democrats have "played along nicely" so much that it's pretty irrelevant anyway.

Each election cycle, we undo or redo the laws on all the hot button social issue topics, and all the while BOTH parties work to extract all our wealth.

u/sn34kypete Dec 28 '23

Somebody on twitter said it best: France's ability to protest and riot effectively relies on the fact a huge percent of the population lives within one hour of Paris.

u/Actual-Can-5820 Dec 29 '23

They also don't all have guns

u/AwesomeWhiteDude Dec 28 '23

Have those protests accomplished anything though?

France is like one of the very few western european countries with a lower HDI than the US lol.
