Holy fucking liberal tone deafness.
“How dare the disenfranchised, who have no power or resources, ask of the population who does have resources and power to stop being so fucking selfish and help get things started. Why don’t they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and just do it themselves? Why do I need to have solidarity with them when it doesn’t directly benefit me to do so?”
Jesus fucking Christ. Sure, continue punching down at people instead of turning your gaze to your own oppressors.
Sounds like yet another excuse not to take responsibility for your own shit. If no one did anything because another guy they know wasn’t we’d never get anywhere as a society.
Keep making excuses and see where that gets you. Fuck America. Home of the cowardly.
It is just a complete lack of solidarity.
It completely ignores that many in America literally have no resources or power, and these are the ones calling for others, who do have resources, begging them to actually put those resources to good use and help get the ball fucking rolling instead of continuing to engage in performative nonsense.
I fucking hate this country.
So let me get this straight, you’re trying to criticize people for wanting to revolt against capitalism, because they’re getting fucked over by capitalism and the job market?..
Edit: Obviously it’s slightly different in various ways, but in further reflection on your meme, I’m sure that people were saying similar things about unemployed African-Americans during the Civil Rights movement. “They’re just lazy and should get a job before complaining about the system”. Yikes.
I find OP’s criticism self-defeating because they too “do nothing IRL” (except for posting weird self-defeating memes).
But there is one aspect I find increasingly worrysome: given Americas infamous lack of gun regulation, and its people’s infatuation with guns (generally speaking, sorry), plus the administration’s increasing reliance on armed goons, how will active resistance escalate?
That is something I have considered as well. I actually do beleive it may escalate into full-out violent combat between the fasciast administration and the citizens within a few years. Not exactly looking forward to that, but it also would be like a release valve on a overpressurized pressure-cooker. That is to say, it may just ‘need’ to happen.
I don’t see a peaceful transition of power on the USA’s horizon. And I don’t mean this as fancy doomerism. I also don’t see this brand of fascism succeeding - except in destroying the country. Again, no hyperbole. Why do you think they installed troops in Washington DC and other blue districts.
It would escalate badly.
The US population doing violent resistance proposition right now. Non-violent resistance, by its turn, looks like a low-stakes move with high odds.
But hey, I’m also just another foreigner that won’t take part in anything they do, so I don’t really know anything. I’m just waiting for the non-violent protest tomorrow in my own country, against our own problems.
Don’t call for violence if you’re not the one at the front of the line pulling the trigger.
STP put it well, real revolutionaries don’t go around talking about revolution, they meet quietly in small groups in private places. Anyone actually planning to go up against their government isn’t going to blab about it.
Precisely. Che went to Cuba. Che went to Congo. Che went to Boliva. Anyone could disagree with his endorsement of violence, but you can’t deny he put his body on the line for his principles.
“From each according to [their] ability, to each according to [their] needs”
Point taken, but this could be interpreted as:
Well what are you expecting, 16 to 35 year old foreigners to fly over and do the saving from tyranny that you won’t do yourselves?
We are calling for the 2A people who attend rallies for evil shit armed. And then claim they have the guns to protect their freedoms. So here we are with our freedoms on the chopping block and they are nowhere to be found. Put up or shut up.

Nah they don’t.
They just look at Americans as people of limited intellect that aren’t capable of taking care of themselves and went so stupid that they actually voted a rapist into office, twice, who told them he’d become a dictator. Then project 2025 came out with its path to dictatorship, this was all public knowledge and they went for it anyway
Now they’re stuck with the orange idiot and the poor lads don’t even know what to do next, how to do something as simple as protest the way they protest in the rest of the world.
Meanwhile they pulled nthis shit onto the entire world and if people world wide ask Americans to please fix their shit, they come back with sad little memes about how the rest of the world must feel so mighty without doing anything themselves
ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM TO SOLVE YOU TWAT. WE ARE NOT AMERICANS YET WE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE SHIT THAT YOUR COUNTRY IS PULLING. THIS IS YOUR SHIT TO FIX, SO STOP WHINING AND FUCKING FIX IT ALREADY
The first time, maybe, but the second time they rigged the election by Trump’s own admission.
I’m just wondering where you’re getting the “can’t get a job” bit from?
Because they are clearly inferior to op, like those dirty homeless people. How dare they try to build momentum for a revolt. That should be done spontaneously by every single person in the country or not at all.
How many times have you heard the, “Oh, I’m from Canada so can’t!” Buddy can’t get a ticket or drive across border but expects others to do crazy things. Absurd lmao.
Most of these are baits from righties, or armchair toughies who in Lord Farqaad fashion are very very willing to send others to sacrifice lol.
No. No Reichstag fire excuses to accelerate the fascist agenda.
As a Canadian, I wouldn’t cross that border at all. Let alone to revolt in a country I am not from. Asking people to start a revolution or other military adjacent actions in a foreign country is generally not a good concept at any time. Only way it should be allowed is when requesting aid against an invading force.
Surrender? Nah they’d rather bend the knee
good meme, best username
