You have no idea what's happening here, do you?

I hope so. Traditionally the fascist way is to pick off small groups so they don't have to frog boil as much. Hoping they overstep their bounds and people get pissed and do something.

You know, i really underestimated how much Lemmy users operated on kneejerk reactions with my comments here. I guess there nothing i can do about that though. Seeing this kind of reaction to a perfectly reasonable opinion is just kind of exhausting.

I have a Twitter account that i haven't posted on in years. I only use it to view posts that my friends have sent me. I keep telling them to stop using Twitter but they won't listen. My usage, if anything, is costing Twitter money to serve me the content on my browser that does not allow for ads or tracking.

You're only a dunce if you ONLY have a Twitter account

Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.

Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.

No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people's way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they're told.

?? I don't really understand what your goal is here

*I love using thumbs up in a way that invokes absurdist situational irony by laying out an absurd situation that the other person expects an explanation for, but instead receives a friendly affirmation in the form of the thumbs up emoji, which exemplifies situational irony by subverting the other person's expectations of what the situation is actually about.

I love using thumbs up ironically. Like is someone trying to ask for an explanation to why i don't sit down to shit? 👍

I'm not making a claim to the efficacy of capitalism. Quite the opposite, really. I'm saying con men will try to reinstate it so they can put themselves at the top.

I honestly think people will keep trying to sell capitalism to make themselves rich in the same way time shares still get sold when everybody knows they're scams.
