Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?

You didn’t think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?

i think we should plan the revolution as a hypothetical. lay the blueprints out online for everyone to see. it’s as easy as “if i were going to do X, i would begin by X. if a lot of us did X together then…”

revolution by committee with full transparency. when the plan involves millions of people acting in unison, there’s not a whole lot you can do about it, even if you know what’s coming.

It’s not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.

I make the equivalent of $1800/month. I barely make ends meet. Every time I strike I incur a $80 deduction for the working day I skip. Sometimes I cannot afford to strike.

You’re not wrong. But there won’t be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.

Inb4 “doomer post” I’m trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month’s worth of food and all strike for an entire week.

I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that’s where you have to make waves.

Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone’s car broke down they could take to “that guy” in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on “the system”, the less control it has over them.

we all know what P25 is. we don’t need to keep talking about that. let’s come up with solutions, not complaints.

I think you missed the point.

The link was a tounge-in-cheek reply about how the fascists openly planned and are implementing an authoritarian “revolution”, and basically got away with it by telling their voters “lol no we aren’t going to do that, it’s just the libs lyin’ again”, and then immediately going with “Project 2025 has been the plan all along” once trump was President elect.
