Why? He should be considered for next presidentship.

Its a hydra and not a minotaur. 8 heads will spawn 16 heads in stead. Structural changes require non violent continous revolution of Gramscian nature. Violence does not work as well as you think it would.

Not the same. US tried to establish a government and then leave the place. They had no plans what would happen after the invasion. If the plan was to establish permanent colony, there would be control structures which make sure that happen.

US is armed to the teeth. The local home guard is more armed than militaries of some countries. This is before the army gets called in. Any chance of an armed uprising is naught. The only thing that will work is making the police join in the strikes.

Violence will be used as an excuse to attack people who stood against the govt. This part has been played many times in history. The last major one being in Tianenmen.

It’s all okay. We can all sell our blood and organs to the mega billionaires so they can all go to space and construct an empire there.

This is interesting.

I have read a lot of marxist and anarchist theory. All marxist theories did is to confirm that the anarchists are right.

What is a tankie?

Blanket bans have sometimes helped me in the past. Lemmy IMO is not at the scale where that would be necessary. A contextual evaluation can still work for lemmy. Your solution of moderating it individually is the right one in this case.

That too. It will just be like pigs or chicken now.

This assumes that the citizens are capable of fighting back against an armed state which protects the oligarchs. The monopoly of state on violence enforced by the personal cults of various billionaires will quench any chance of a revolution. Add to this the surveillance of means of organizing like sms, signal etc and you get a perfect police state under the control of few. The ideal solution would then be to eliminate the impoverished basic class and live off the land. The only disadvantage is probably the stunting of genetic lineages some generations after. So they might keep some of the impoverished around to make sure that they can keep the genetic pool diverse.

This is really dumb. I dont know what a hexbear is and also what instance emoji is. Lol.

I am new here. I ma basing my comment on observations I have seen in reddit. Please take my advice with the skepticism it requires as I don’t understand how moderation in lemmy works.

My observations based on moderating subreddits have been to institute blanket bans on people who are active on extreme right subreddits and extreme left subreddits. This helps in clearing the brigading and steers conversations towards neutrality.

I dont understand who is downvoting you and why. Everything you said is logical

there is 7 quarters remaining. Dumpf will bring the greatest depression in american history and if reserve currency moves away from dollar, there will be wars. Thucydides trap is here and better be prepared.

UBI is never going to come to the united states. Whats reasonably to going to happen is an uprising and the brutal suppression of it by the police state a la Tianenmen square style or even worse. US have done this against people of color multiple times in its history. This time others will join as well.

I think we also need to remove brigading posts. I am new to lemmy so not sure how much brigading happens here.

God and the state is the one which I really love. There are lot of Alan Moore books as well which is anarchist in nature(V for vendetta etc) I also love Chomsky’s books on anarchism. The one which I plan to read is James C Scott’s https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/james-c-scott-two-cheers-for-anarchism
