Violent revolutions rarely work…

Are we ignoring nearly all of history? Take some time and see how man revolutions were possible without violence vs how many were. You have all of human history at your finger tips, for now at least.

History doesn’t repeat but it certainly rhymes. If you’re real and this is your true belief then you are not ready for what is coming.

The main takeaway I would hope people get from the idea (one that I heard from a forgotten source and then began using in the light of my own understanding I have to confess) is that we are living under a system that has been disproportionately and consistently shaped over much of its history by moneyed interests in various ways for the specific aim of winning the class war for the wealthy. That’s what the system is doing, that is its purpose.

Another objection to “the purpose of a system is what it does” is that it implies that systems have purposes in the first place. Many systems don’t have a purpose because they were never designed. Ecosystems are the biggest example of this.

Talking more specifically about our political and economic systems, I think the ecosystem view is helpful. Believing that an elite have conspired over centuries to create a system which entrenches their interests is dangerous, conspiratorial thinking which most importantly does not lead in any positive direction.

It’s not a conspiracy though. Political think tanks, lobbiests, SuperPACs all exist to shape politics and have more influence than any person. And they are all controlled by those with wealth. They’ve literally been shaping the country for themselves for decades.

50501 is very active, we’re hitting the streets all the time. I’ve been at a demonstration almost every week for the past month and a half. Please, join us!

Edit: From one of my other comments in case you’re uneasy about getting involved:

I don’t even like talking to people in the first place.

SAME SAME SAME. When I started confronting these [Trump supporters] people in my life my anxiety would flare up to the point my voice would shake lol. And I never in my life thought I’d be out marching in the streets.

It gets easier, but it takes practice (Prozac helps too). Now the anxiety has become anger. But not anger at them, rather anger at the system. Anger at what we let this country become. Anger at how lazy and complacent I’ve become.

Do your best, stay safe, and most important of all don’t get scared. Get angry.

Lots of states allow private sales with no background checks required. People should see if they live in/near one.

If so hop on mewe, or some other social site, grab some cash and get you one! Gun shows are awesome for this too.

She was offering tax credits and small down payments to a population where 70% of people are paycheck to paycheck. While telling them everything is great.

She NEVER cared about the people

I have a friend of a friend, I’ll call him RustGamer, who is a 3 time Trump voter. He marched with me last Friday for the 50501 Veterans protests. The week before he learned for the first time since it’s occurrence that two people died on J6. He was willing to read the Jack Smith report and was deeply troubled by it.

Sure there are some absolute shitmunchers and some so deluded they’re unsaveable. But for some, these people are misled, or downright brain washed.

Rustgamer has no technical literacy outside of Rust. He watched whatever Facebook, Instagram, or ticktock pushed. And of course fox news since that’s what his parents taught him. He wasn’t good at searching for dissenting opinions because Google would just push him more propaganda sites when trying to, sponsored search results are evil.

He’s been in a different reality for the last decade and is just now waking up. It took a lot of talking, a lot of biting my tongue, and showing him I a “radical leftist” actually wanted what’s best for both of us. It’s not easy and I completely understand if people aren’t in a mental place to do it with what’s going on. But we only get through this if we do it together.

United we stand. Divided we fall.

Maybe make him speaker of the house then have a stand in prez and vp step down?

I know a vp has to have presidential eligibility to be elected, which Trump wouldn’t have at the end of this term. But Im not aware of the same restriction on the speaker

I don’t like this sentence

The engineers did this, Teslas just kind of do this.

Get armed and look up your local Ironfront or indivisible chapter. You are not alone, United we stand. Divided we fall.
