Some Republicans have been defensive that the party has a strong anti-democratic bent. But the state GOP convention embraced it, writes columnist Danny Westneat.
There's going to be military men and women who are leftists and rightists - in a civil war we would see this. There's definitely going to be active military men and women who will defend the government for the sake of the government as a whole (regardless of left or right).
That generally is historically false. Not every revolution involved a civil war. If conditions for revolution are present, the military typically ceases to defend the state in any meaningful capacity. Outsiders moving in and compradors exist, but not at an equal scale.
I didn't state that "every revolution involved a civil war"..
I would imagine, not stating as a fact, that the government agencies like the FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS etc.. would be defending the government and even then, there would be splinter groups amongst these agencies.
Probably because these agencies are far more heavily invested in our government than we know. But this is all pure speculation. There's so many different groups, variables in the U.S. that I honestly can't fathom what a civil war nor what a revolution would look like. We are heavily divided into all kinds of categories that I just can't imagine it would be black and white.
Sure, but your initial claim was that leftists are drastically outnumbered and outgunned, which isn't going to be true if the conditions for revolution arise.
Congressional approval is in the single digits. Presidential disapproval is north of 60%. I think you've wildly overestimated how many people actually support the current American regime. And those numbers only get worse when you start asking how people feel about Project 2025.
As opposed to your evidence based approach of using divination to determine the person you replied to in your original comment was in some sort of minority of opinion?
I'm just saying, I don't take poll numbers seriously. They're easily manipulated. Like the Chinese click farms, easy to get the results you want when technology is the medium.
A click farm is a business or organized operation where a large group of workers or automated systems (bots) are employed to click on various online content for the purpose of artificially inflating metrics such as website traffic, app downloads, social media likes, views, and engagement. The primary purposes of click farms include:
Boosting Online Metrics:
Website Traffic: Increase the number of visitors to a website, which can make it appear more popular and attract advertisers or investors.
App Downloads: Raise the download count of a mobile application, making it appear more popular and increasing its ranking in app stores.
Social Media Engagement: Increase likes, follows, shares, comments, and views on social media platforms to enhance perceived popularity and influence.
Manipulating Search Engine Rankings:
SEO Manipulation: Improve a website's search engine ranking by increasing the number of visits and reducing bounce rates, making it appear more relevant and authoritative.
Influencing Public Opinion and Marketing:
Political Campaigns: Sway public opinion by boosting the visibility of political posts, comments, and pages.
Brand Promotion: Enhance the online presence of brands and products to increase perceived popularity and credibility.
Monetary Gain:
Advertising Revenue: Generate income from pay-per-click (PPC) advertising models where advertisers pay for each click on their ads.
Affiliate Marketing: Increase clicks on affiliate links to generate commissions from sales or leads.
Gaming Online Systems:
Contests and Promotions: Artificially inflate participation in online contests, promotions, and giveaways to win prizes.
App and Game Rankings: Increase rankings and visibility in app stores and gaming platforms to attract real users and potential in-app purchases.
Ethical and Legal Issues
While click farms can provide short-term benefits by inflating metrics, they are generally considered unethical and are often illegal. They deceive genuine users, mislead advertisers, and violate the terms of service of most online platforms. The use of click farms can lead to penalties, including account suspension, legal actions, and damage to reputation.
Detection and Prevention
Many platforms employ sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques to detect and combat click farm activities. Measures include analyzing user behavior patterns, IP addresses, click timing, and geographic data to identify suspicious activities.
In summary, click farms aim to create a false sense of popularity and engagement to benefit the entities that hire them, but they pose significant ethical, legal, and reputational risks.
Hence why I hate Democracy, it's fake and ga... it's fake.
