Other 196's:
"How would they deal with the army?" Probaby even better then other folks in shitty technicals like Afghanistan and Vietnam did to be honest. They aren't going to nuke American rebels because then they'd win a big radioactive pile of shit. Think they'd shoot missiles in NYC? Fat fucking chance. Even tanks rolling down Main street is gonna set off alarms.
The soldiers, firing into the crowds, brought death to tiananmen square. Survivors were simply run down. The tanks never fired a shell, because they didn't need to. In the decades since then, nothing has emerged to shift that power dynamic in the favor of the people.
We're not worried about missiles, stealth aircraft, armor penetrating rounds, their stupid microwave cannons, drone strikes or whatever other sci-fi bullshit looks good on television. We're worried about armored vehicles rolling down mainstreet while there are thousands of people there, and the crowd crush that results. We're worried about one zealous national guardsman with an M2 firing blindly into a march as it crosses a bridge. We're worried about any leaders that emerge being quietly disappeared overnight, about our families being singled out by a teen at a fusion center that's watching Joe Rogan on their phone, or about the simple fact that the military could just turn off critical infrastructure and our cities would grind to a halt. We have no way to stop that.
Before you can throw a revolution you have to build a revolutionary society. Without that it's nothing but a coup.
Forget blackjack, we're just gonna let the Hookers run this one. They will always do a better job than those fascists.
Every single hooker I've ever met had more of a moral compass than the US far right, so I'm with you there.
I'm sure there were people in Rome that saw the fire, looked around and realized they were surrounded by self destructive fools.
30 years ago when I learned about the fall of Rome, I thought "how cool would it have been to be there in person and see what happened live?" Fuck me if I'm not finding out
To be fair it's not a "somehow". Nearly every democracy on Earth is more functional than the USA.
If I managed to rally my fellow men with out being ~~assasinated by the CIA/FBI~~ commingling suicide, then we would just be ~~bombed out of existence like the the black panthers~~ terrorist combantants.
And further, while voting is made difficult by those in power to protect their power base, it is far easier to convince people to vote than to fight a war.
Also, voting doesn't mean you can't still protest or do other forms of organization.

Blackjack & Hookers?
Shouldn't be too hard to build a society around blackjack and hookers. Blackjack is how the government is run and the government is run by hookers.
