The other thing to consider, and maybe this is already addressed, is that there's a stunningly large proportion of the population that is not only okay with this, they want it. And it's not a situation where those people who approve or simply don't care are segregated out by regions, they're literally living next doors and up stairs. They're cousins and sisters and fathers and bosses and coworkers and so on. This is not some super easy "why doesn't the larger of the two simply eat the other?" kind of situation, and no matter how hard anybody wants to try and reduce it down to that, sorry, that's just now how things work.

A general strike for 2 weeks. Will bring the economy to near destruction and force change

If the US collapses before I die. I can die happy.

This is an evil country. It makes war on the world. It threatens the world via control of the reserve currency. To say nothing of the abuses it visits on its own citizens.

Total collapse. Balkanization. Don't care how. No expectation of surviving the fall. But as long as it falls I can die happy knowing that life on this planet has a brighter future than it did with the US at the till.

Americans were bred not to fight for anyone except the master. There is no real God(s) here.

I'm rapidly approaching the point where I don't care if anyone has a plan or not.

If I managed to rally my fellow men with out being ~~assasinated by the CIA/FBI~~ commingling suicide, then we would just be ~~bombed out of existence like the the black panthers~~ terrorist combantants.

Americans don't know how to cooperate, they're raised with a "me first" mentality. They can't fathom the thought of laying down their lives for their countrymen, so unless you propose to them a revolution where every one of them gets treated as the main character and everybody else as the supporting cast, they won't lift a finger.

without a rallying force, its just sparkling crazed gunman

"Professionals are predictable but there are a lot more amateurs to account for."

To get that kind of momentum going against a literal police state would be difficult to say the least. Such a movement would also likely be smothered in it's crib by the surveillance state we built ostensibly to keep us safe from the terrorist boogeyman that America created.

Even if the revolutionaries win, there's no guarantee that the government that comes as a result would be better in any way. Great warriors rarely make great rulers.

Violent revolutions almost always result in bad governments for exactly this reason, i.e. it's only fringe idealists that get it together enough to lead one, and such people are usually terrible at doing actual grown-up governing.

It's why it's so infuriating to see right-wingers claim that basic social safety nets and tackling inequality are Communism, because it's like, if you want Communism then pushing half the population towards that level of desperation is exactly how you end up with it.

We are in the middle of a revolution, just not one of, for, or by the people.

Listen, at least tear it down for the rest of the world, what you do after that is up to you, but for the love of god just stop the existence of the usa

I'm just gonna leave this here:

"Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

Most of the people here live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford a $500 emergency.

So the risk of even just getting arrested, and held in custody for a week, would be enough to ruin one's life.

That puts a damper on protesting, until you or your family are directly impacted. It also inhibits willingness to strike.

And it also explains why so many protesters are of retirement age -- they don't have a job to lose if they miss work unexpectedly for a few days.

In a lot of ways, we were already conquered.

Not sure what the point is here exactly. Every single country that has ever had a revolution had to deal with these things.

Not to mention, "how is someone supposed to organize any of this without getting disappeared by the FBI or CIA."

1. they LIKE racism
2. very few, mostly funding issues
3. toy helicopters, vapors + soapification effected solids
4. lone wolf. huey P. Newton's autobiography title, all threads lead to doomed wolf
5. revolution with heavily splintered factions that all kill each other for power at the end of toppling the old guard is a tale as old as time.
6. no. consider that political theories the average person is aware of are old, out dated, and largely meaningless concepts that many people have idolized. Marx has been dead so long, I doubt he would have any clue how to deal with geopolitical machinations. if he could grasp them. there's really no point in theory. analysis isn't a creative process. it's only ordering chaos into a digestible framework, it's not how anything comes to be. creative acts are based on needs. what would happen? who can say. but I can say nothing will make sense in 4 years. it stopped making sense before then as well, but, again. it will stop making sense. that's all.
