Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Just wondering, man. I mean, I'm willing to go to prison or die anyway- I can't afford neither rent nor food in either case, so for me the equation isn't super complex. Just wondering how much more we are going to spread our ass cheeks, my sphincter is getting pretty sore.

Edit: Just so we're clear, don't actually speak up or rise up or anything, violence has literally never solved a single problem in the history of mankind even once.

Organized mass resistance does not require and honestly doesn't particularly benefit from armed resistance. But it's the popularity and mass involvement that gives you power, no matter your tactics. So the focus needs to be on building mass organization(s). Unfortunately, this is not sexy or fast but it is necessary.

And as far as small groups of individuals doing violent attacks, I challenge you to find a single case in history where that worked.
