Overthrow the government 1
#26351017 - 11/28/19 06:57 PM (4 years, 2 months ago) |

Am I the only one on here that wants to overthrow the government? Why do we allow these corrupt politicians to rule us? This country was bought and sold a long time ago and I feel like are votes no longer matter. 329,064,917 people live in the United states and we have more guns than people so why are we allowing these assholes to control us? We could all march the the capital right now and end this bullshit so why don't we? I seriously don't understand it!!! For a example 65% of Americans want fully legal pot yet we don't have it!! Why the fuck are we allowing them to throw people in prison for it!! If 65 fucking % want pot then we should have fucking pot!! Is war the only way to fix this problem?

Dont worry the current system will collapse without our intervention. Peace brother. Yes the current system makes me rage but violence is not the answer. The best you can do is make sure everyone you meet trips enough balls to see the absurdity of what is happening now
Channel that anger into something positive to give back.

We aren't going to fix anything.
Nobody is.
This is it, kids.
And if it's not, plenty of people will obsessively warn us that it's coming in the next 5-20 years, like always.

Whatever got put in after the government got over thrown would most certainly be far far worse than what we have now. Anyone who seriously believes overthrowing the government is a way to solve our problems is dangerously stupid and deserves to he put up against a wall and shot or atleast put in jail.

Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but the MIC and Corporations deemed free reign have and continue to posses the majority of control. It's not politicians; that's the top-tier of the entertainment pyramid. We certainly do not need to overthrow; however the elimination of the prison system in it's current operations is much needed.
Don't give em to much credit; it's much more chaotic than they would like to admit.

I bet the % of prisoners that are actually innocent is pretty high. Our court system has taken incompetence to a professional level. It’s like they breed those people in farms because they don’t act like people I’ve met that have parents, went to school, eat food etc. I sometimes wonder if they will feel any remorse when they’re BURNING IN HELL!!
What kind of a dickface agrees to being a prosecutor? No matter what you believe you agree to destroy someone’s life... how do you live with yourself? There’s some sort of psychological issue going on there. Sociopathy or something. Fuckin’ evil man..

GG man god speed to ya, but honestly if the system is so screwy here's how I go about it. Most people are brain washed into thinking black n white thoughts. Just keep worrying about yourself and your loved ones, blend in, and stay ahead of the game and be smart. as much as I would like to overthrow it... Reality is not a chance now and days, it's hard to get people to open eyes, but harder to call them to action. ( I replied to the wrong person lol)

I use to want to form a militia to overthrow the government. Now I want to form a 'neighborhood watch' that patrols my area; and I want to have a community of people who work together to get away from dependency and debt and to move towards self-sustainability. Key is to move out of urban areas and get into rural areas; to let go of urban ideas and to get into gardening/farming and to establish a community market that is in a way like a reservation. Kind of like the mormons or the tribes or some of those other groups that essentially have their own nations within the nation.

What if you broke the communitys rules and they decided to kick you out. Would you just keep sneaking back in wearing a hat or a fake mustache, and use different aliases hoping that one day they'll forget?

Not sure I understand your question. The community I'm talking about would be one that values freedom above all and security second. So long as no one infringes on anyone else's freedom and so long as no one infringes anyone security there would be no issue. I'm talking about an actual community. Mitakuye Oyasin. We are all related. So such a community would treat everyone else in that community as family. People would help each other to achieve independence, to escape dependence on the system. Solar power, water catchment, growing of food and raising of animals. The primary goal would be to own your property and land without debt to a bank via mortgage etc, and to establish sustainability via growth of food etc.

I've thought about this, but you have to realize, when people are brainwashed into thinking capitalism is cool, they don't want to hurt capitalism. It would take a lot of convincing to get privileged Americans to revolt. Some people might look at your revolution as terrorism.
I for one love and hate this fucking place at the same time. We have let our government run amok and let them get away with it on so many levels that now they can just do it as they please. To them, security is freedom. But at the same time, I can call our president a fat fucking Cheeto piece of shit and cheetos won't get banned/censored.

Ha, *Artificial intelligence level password management.
I suppose you could just write the new password down in a note book every time you make a new account. Still, idk how you do it. I can hardly remember the password to one account.

You can always get KeePass or something like that. Where you remember one super strong unbreakable password for the KeePass and it basically auto generates pretty secure passwords for your new account entries.

You're not the only one but it's hard to even know where to begin cause how it's done with all the unknown tech and infrastructure they possess alongside the knowledge/manipulation/planning techniques that go into running such a vast and powerful collective of organizations/groups connected all over the world that make up the true power structure and you're looking at a question that few will hold the true answer for...maybe prepare yourself for the chance to join those answer holders in creating and unlocking the pathway(s) that we all need to survive the corrupted control scheme.

Meet you at the Starbucks closest to the capital. 3 pm eastern time.
We'll get a latte and then you and I will Uber it to the capital and overthrow that ass

This is a great post tbh

Foucault explains why it’s so hard for us to reach the point of revolution and probably never will.
There’s something organic about reaching the tipping point and the West has created a power structure that’s very hard, if not impossible, to challenge. By making our leashes just a tiny bit longer our governments have made us the most tightly confined people in human history. That doesn’t mean we’re the most oppressed but just that we’re the least likely to make a serious challenge at the status quo.
But if Trump is re-elected we might end up with enough institutional cracks to create enough instability to be challengeable. Unfortunately, even then it’s unlikely that we’ll end up with anything better. However, it’s still worth a shot, imo.

Fully Legalize pot, decriminalize drugs, lower taxes, lower the price of health insurance, let us keep are guns and I'll be perfectly fine with the United states. Basically I just want to be free! Both the Republicans and Democrats are preventing us from having freedom. The Democrats think taking guns, raising taxes and forcing the 2nd class to pay for everyone's shit will fix the problem. The Republicans just want to keep things the way they are. How can any of you vote for that shit! Don't you have any common sense or a hunger for freedom? We're so fucked..

I am convinced the democratic process is still achievable. People need to stop being so complacent and lazy. Inform, and encourage voting. There are local elections that are lost by 1-5 votes ALL THE TIME. A lot of the stuff that happens occurs locally.
For instance, check your city or a nearby city. Look at how many tax incentive are being given. The government and business are hand-in-hand. Most people don't care, because the money is often used to fund a business that is desirable to them (for instance, a movie theater, a restaurant plaza), but what happens is, the tax revenues decrease and the bill is passed to the homeowner.
We are screwed, not because Trump, or the republicans or whatever...it's because we are lazy and disinterested. The same reason your idea would fail right now.
Things are changed by hard work and sacrifice. Sacrifice a lot of people on here (including myself) aren't ready to commit to. Any why? Despite all it's "troubles" - we are still a very fortunate people. How many bombs have fallen on our soil? How often do you go hungry? Have you ever been truly denied immediate health care?
I bitch, just like the next guy, but step back for a minute and consider how fortunate you are: that you can even type a message like you did, and not have your door beaten down.
Revolution. Ha. It's already happening. It's in the hearts of men. When the hearts change the culture changes. Americans, for the most part (speaking, statistically here), are greedy and selfish - absorbed by money and materials - idol, really. Disengage and your mood will change. Look at the civil rights movement? Sure, some violence was committed by some, but a lot of the "movement" occurred due to passive resistance/disengagement.
As far as pot goes. Look at what is happening peacefully across the country. LOL. This is what you dreamed of as a kid. It took sacrifice. Bold people. There were casualties (and still are). But that is how Americans do it until the last "straw". I hope that we don't have a last straw - we are a powerful people too.
In summary of the rant above, God Bless these United States. I don't care what perks other countries currently maintain (e.g., healthcare). There is a reason folks are attempting to come here in droves. It's a beacon of hope, a land of plenty, and just like life, it is what we make it. My grandfather was dirt poor. Different shoe kind of poor. Also had a significant disability. Dude swept floors at a business and later owned it. This is not a chicken soup for the soul story - this is real. One of millions. (not that money is everything/anything, but that's a metric a lot of people use).
Democrats have a real fighting chance to put someone in office that will swing the pendulum a bit in favor of the people - let's hold out that hope and rock the vote.
I hope everyone, everywhere, just takes a minute - no matter how bad you think you have it. No matter how much shit you have been dealt, no matter what has been taken from or added to you - take a second. You are fucking alive. You are spinning on a rock flying through what appears to be an infinite universe. You are alive, and able to comprehend me from where I sit. You are breathing free air. You are engaged in the mystery that is life. is there Gratitude in that? I hope so.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. A transition from that which does not serve us, and into the future that does not exist but by our creation.

I'm not interested in overthrowing the current system although I think it sucks. I'd rather "drop out".
But to fully realize your potential freedoms in this system you need to buy in unfortunately. If you don't have your own transportation then you're beholden to those who do. If you don't have your own "means of production" then you are beholden to bosses or government handouts. If you don't own a scrap of land to exist on then you are beholden to land owners. But there are still some cheap scraps of land to be had.
