    I’m curious on what a resistance or revolution would look like for a regular person to get involved with, with all the surveillance, be it online or your life being recorded 24/7 as soon as you go out the door of your house, like let’s for a second imagine someone IS aware and WANTS to help out, wouldn’t it be kinda impossible to do anything meaningful? Yes with enough people maybe you can do something about it, but in the real world you won’t have “enough people that care” up until the very end where shit hits the fan and everything is super duper fucked

    Always so quick to advocate for violence and unrest in someone else’s country.

    I’m assuming you’re not Americans, because, if you were, surely we’d be hearing about your heroic violence on the news right now.

      You’re subjected to violence every day by our government, the entire oligarchy of Democrats and Republicans. You sit back and accept it. But when our own working class advocates for collectivism to fight against that government, liberals always try to talk it down. The biggest obstacles to progress have always been Democrats.

              I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
