why is there not a revolution yet

Censoring FUCK seems kind of ironic.
- also *Your
  
  I think your right
- Fuckity-fuck this censored-ass Internet. Shitcockballs
- It's pathetic. The fucking internet is great for saying fuck, this pansy-ass self-censoring really needs to stop.

- When people do try protests that are disruptive, people complain about it.
  i think protests should be focused on stopping the machinery that's grinding us all up. But if your protest means traffic or a closed Walmart then all the short sighted idiots and all the people barely holding on get mad.
  I don't think people are smart enough to deal with this world we have created.

because it turned out Americans are too meek or too ignorant to act
- People need to miss at least three meals in a row before they start getting serious. We don't have the material conditions yet to act.
  
  That's like trying to put on the seatbelt after the crash
  
  How are you gonna act with an empty stomach tho?
- "Cowardly" is the word you're looking for.
- It also doesn't help that all of the people with guns, like the current situation. They may subsequently change their mind when the realities of the situation start to hit in a few years, but currently they're alright with it.
  
  Not all gun owners like the current situation.
  Source: Gun Owner, do not like current situation. There's a vast difference between a responsible gun owner and those ammosexuals who just want to be given an excuse to open fire at anything.
  
  The rampant delusion that right-wing conservatives are the only Americans with guns lol. Possibly they're just the only ones dumb enough to believe their guns and weekend target shooting would enable them to win against the US military. That would kind of make sense, cuz they'd assume Jeezus would be on their side.
  
  I definitely wouldn't say "all". There's plenty of us with guns that do not like the situation. What exactly do you expect everyone to do, go outside and shoot their Republican neighbor? Someone tried shooting Trump, and most leftists with >2 brain cells would agree that it would've been an absolute shit show if he'd succeeded in killing him.
  I don't disagree that the group of people that like the situation are more heavily armed than the group of people that dislike it, but the same thing has been said for a decade now... Why not start changing that situation?
  
  I’m glad people keep thinking like you do.

Capitalism is very good at protecting itself.
Join a union and vote radical left.
- vote radical left.
  If people voted based on issues instead of party loyalty...the US would be a completely different country.
  
  People should vote in their genuine best self interest, which is working class in 99% of all cases and they would have been best served with a mostly socialist party. So I guess i agree that party loyalty isn't great.
- It’s especially good at protecting itself from literally zero threats.
  Let’s not pretend Americans are putting up any kind of fight at all.
  
  Right, because capitalism has conditioned us to be complacent.
- Which other system was not good at that?
  
  Anarchism
  
  Every other system. Capitalism is far more adaptable, which is not a good sign btw. Because if a system fails to provide for its citizens it should make way for others.
  In terms of providing, others were better.

I fully agree with the content OP posted.
But I cannot help myself.

Most the population is checked out you’re not getting a revolution until they starve.
- And the other half of wrecking the US economy is to remove resources from the general population, making it much harder for revolution to happen. So by the time it gets to that point, there will be little resources for most of the population beyond lacking food.

Everything is inherently political and only apathetic cowards disengage from this reality.
- Large emphasis on apathetic cowards

Most Americans couldn't revolution their way out of a Walmart.

Your.

Sure, but I miss when the internet was an escape, now its kinda of dead for me, I spend more time offline because of the 24/7 outrage, like yeah im upset too, but it just gets repetitive, im not built to be stressed out constantly, im getting blood pressure issues, had to dlt x because the algoirthim shifted towards controversy hard, and have to use lemmy less since its just depressing/exciting in a bad way news all the time.
Really wish lemmy was an exception, considering how small it is and how powerless the userbase is, yet its just another source of stress in my life lately
- You can browse Lemmy by "subscribed" and only subscribe to non-political subs.
  
  Maybe Lemmy could have support for categorising/tagging communities and/or posts, such that one could follow, block, or maybe filter them. I.e. tag a community "Politics", and users could simply express a lack of interest on the aforementioned category, and see no further from said community and others alike
- Stuck with reddit as the only place you can talk about not politics primarily, I wouldnt mind it if it wasn't 75% of my feed
  
  no lawmakers are here, anyone here is already voting on the same side as you, yeah get your thoughts out but Idk what sort of political change yall think yall make on this platform specifically, its an echo chamber of outrage

That’s a dang ol’ fuck, man -Boomhauer

The kind where you execute your surpressors or where you throw imports into the harbour?
- surpressors

Because people give their power away to authorities, instead of taking control over their own lives. No one is going to rescue any of you. Only when we all accept this and move on, together, will we ever be free.

What would be signs of a revolution?
- Small scale political violence and organization of militias.
  Oh, look, it's just the fascists doing that.
  Enjoy the results of your own policies, neolibs.
