When does the revolution in china or russia start? Will there be tanks trying to stop them?

This is being used to say Smith is anti-trump and has “DTS” (Donald Trump Syndrome). It’s a distraction.

I’m keeping this for posterity, lol:

The people of China are materially quite comfortable and their lives are improving every decade. They do not have a reason to revolt. Their circumstances are not so terrible that revolution is necessary to improve them. Most people in China are genuinely quite happy with their state. You couldn’t have picked a worse example.

I don’t know or care about Russia enough to speak on it. I personally wouldn’t judge their domestic situation based on what western sources say about it. News agencies necessarily lie and distort the reality of the geopolitcal enemies of their respective nations. It is sufficient to say that revolution has not happened in Russia because the circumstances for workers aren’t dire enough. This is a general statement you can use for most countries.

If you genuinely believe that conditions within these countries are sufficient for revolution it is because you have a deeply uncritical reading of your news outlets. Choosing these countries specifically expresses the inherent atlanticist bias within your worldview.

then why won’t you say what country you’re from?

• Why hasn’t russia risen up? Their dictator is pretty bad and right now would be the time when he’s weak.
• Why hasn’t china risen up? They have a huge population that could.
• etc. etc. etc.

“Just like the national highway system, our country’s economy, national security, and everyday lives stand to benefit immensely,” he wrote.

Right out of the gate, the national highway system is owned by the public, not fucking corporations you knob.

Where do you live?

Step 5: depose the current ruling class of their power and try them for their numerous crimes.

Could you expand on that? That sounds like a gloss over step that gets a fuck ton of people killed and won’t work anyway.

Please do. I think people want to see what others think are the best of lemmy.

If you were saying this stuff to other users, you’d already be gone.

Ha ha, nothing but basking in the fact that you’ve been chosen.

And yes, I’m doing all these myself while people I also sit online bitching

That is going on. I know you’re frustrated, but you’re doing the very thing you’re complaining about.

Another one coming in hot. What exactly are the steps you think americans should take? Go step by step and fill in the blank. You can add steps if necessary.

They’ve (* the republicans) already given our public funding to the private schools, this is a way to get around that.

As always, why not do it now?

I don’t think it’s going to add up to a trillion dollars a year though, lol.

In truth, both Fox figures are slightly overstating matters. The poll does show Talarico up by seven points among registered voters, 53–46. But it shows his lead is much tighter among likely voters, 51–49. The latter might matter more.

Bold words are doing a lot of heavy lifting. TNR might be trying to make sure republicans vote.
