I agree with all of that in its entirety, the world was a much different and considerably smaller place.

To play devil’s advocate though, there is potential for the right person or persons to harness social media to draw historical attention to one. I don’t think this will happen, and it would turn into a giant mess of a media shitstorm, but it is an interesting idea to think about.

No it sounds like a ballin hair metal band.

Our government is not as fun as a ballin hair metal band.

There are some pretty big ones that did work though. The Women’s Suffrage movement in the US successfully used a hunger strike to force Woodrow Wilson’s hand and he was put in a position where he had no choice but to cave to the movement.

These ideas still work in smaller nations, but the idea of the American public toppling the US government in 2025 is absurd. Even if you ignore that we’re completely incapable of finding commons goals as a nation, you’re still being turned to pink mist by a drone while you’re waving your assault rifle you bought at Wal-Mart around on your front lawn.

And if you add in what I ommitted, its impossible. We can’t even get over half our population to stop supporting pedophilia, there’s no way they’re coming together for a revolution.

This would just turn into a years long, brutal, violent inaurgency with probably several civil wars occurring at the same time as fighting the government.

I’m at the point now that I say we just fucking go for it and elect even crazier people than Trump. We’re going down no matter what. Let’s just see how crazy shit can get. Let’s make Ezra Miller Secretary of Defense.

This was really interesting. Thank you.

If you’re talking relative to objective political spectrum and not left and right in the sole context of American politics in a vacuum, you’re entirely right and I agree. Joe Biden would have been like a center-right wing politician in a lot of Europe.

But my point still stands. Irrespective of what either party actually is, he had the support of neither. Which is crazy considering he’ll be mayor of the largest city in the US.

The real play is to become a billionaire, and have a state of the art vaporizor capable of holding a metric ton of weed tied into your ventillation system. Add a simple PLC to measure oxygen levels and electronically engage solenoids to keep the environment habital.

Spend millions, be high for one day, develop most expensive weed tolerance in human history.

This made me laugh because I’m currently reading the expanse, and I’m worried one day it may be viewed as a prophecy…

That’s sort of the problem with… reality, man. Both you and this kid are right, life isn’t black and white and there are a lot moving parts.

You’re 100% right that nobody should be getting political information from social media. This kid stating that is showing his age. Social media is a cess pool to become politically informed.

But he’s also right that this sort of thing can be a slippery slope.

I just want some skateboarders to head this way man. And some death metal folks to show me new music.

I feel like this guy is doomed to fail. He has the left and the right against him. He’s going to be ripped apart in the media, and the overwhelming majority of Americans will be indifferent to whether its true or not.

It’s been largely forgotten that the Russian invasion at the start was an absolute diaaster, and their entire armed forces literally broke down on a road for like a month. The entire Russian empire could have been knee capped for generations right there if just one nation had bombed that road.

I’m American and I agree that nothing short of a catastrophic collapse is going to solve our own problems domestically, as well as put a stop to the laundry list of horrors we commit abroad.

Are you European or American?

Yes, you have air traffic control command them to land. If they don’t, you escort them down with jet fighters. All that has occurred here is the ICC has shown that warrants can be situationally worthless.

Yes, you risk starting a war if you arrest a war criminal. That sucks. But that doesn’t mean you ignore the warrant for fear of consequence. Now our fucking idiot president here gets a huge, very unneeded ego injection knowing European powers are afraid to arrest criminals going to speak to a convicted felon.
