    The US government has been too unrestrained for generations and it’s only getting worse regardless of who is in power. The people aren’t ready to do anything about it yet either.

      It’s kinda baffling. A country with a violent gun culture obsessed with rising up against any totalitarian government… And yet all of it is just a lie funded by the military industrial complex.

      I don’t see how any citizen with a gun stands a chance against drone strikes and SWAT teams. The best leverage American workers have over the rich is the same as everywhere else in the world:

      • Stop going to work.
      • Peacefully disobey the authorities.
      • Don’t believe the narrative and create art.
      • Form strong local communities and alternative economies.

      My 2c anyway.
