I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

Capitalism needs to go
Oh my, we have our very own CIA agent assigned to our little site :3
You would think the CIA would have done it for us by now, what with Trump singlehandedly destroying US hegemony.
This thread is an example of why I’m happy for hexbear
Hexbear?
Your lemmy instance probably defederates from them, so you don’t see their comments. They are a bunch of communists that many others don’t care for and pre-emptively disconnect from.
Personally, I appreciate their perspective and generally am glad to see the discourse.
Maybe, I am extremely new to Lemmy so I didn’t know if that was a place, thing, or person.
So are/is hexbear a communist fourm, or a communist group?
As far as I know, hexbear.net is a similar Lemmy instance same as midwest.social (yours) or lemmy.sdf.org (mine). Hexbear has a general focus of communism – though that feels very reductive and I don’t mean leave it at that, I just don’t have the skill or care to do any better.
Due to various groups (instances) politics, they are often disconnected-from (defederated).
I don’t know if I did a good or bad job explaining this cuz I’m a little drunk, but I hope it’s been at least a little bit helpful
Seems like you did a pretty good job, that makes sense. Thank you!

They are watching us all.
I’m going to be one of those parents. I’m going to share what my 7 year old said at breakfast earlier this week as he looked over my shoulder at the pictures in the newspaper and asked me what the articles were about.
I forget how it came up, but I mentioned that Trump is very old and might die of old age in less than 4 years. He said:
I don’t want him to die but I don’t want him to be their ruler anymore.
I told him he was right and praised him for being able to hold those two ideas in his head at the same time.
…Personally I’d prefer a single event that resulted in the horrific death of several specific top USA officials due to their own malice/avarice/corruption, but I don’t want him to be too cynical.
I think it’d be best to be horrific, to shock society into demanding better leadership. I don’t think we’ll be so lucky.
The problems we lament are not the result of one man. He has enablers. He has funders. He has defenders. He has judges and congresspeople.
The idea that our problems will disappear when ONE guy kicks the bucket would be laughable if our situation weren’t so depressing.
The right person going has historically been key to defeating fascism.
Personality cults need the personality.
Without the personality the cult that lifts them up still exists and the ideas persist.
The word martyr exists for a reason. And sometimes a flawed martyr is even better. Because with the right methods, you can always rewrite whatever you like and ignore what you don’t. as we have so very recently learned from modern history, that fact is so much more terrifyingly effective than you could ever dream of.
That may be true, but we all gotta start somewhere.
Anyone got information on this?
Go do it then
This is so much of the internet right now. Everyone wants someone else to do the dirty work. Everyone one agrees that the dirty work needs to be done, but no one is willing to do it.
I don’t have the means to make it happen. I’m the rare American that doesn’t own any weapons. And I’m positive they wouldn’t let me close enough with my baseball bat.
It’s America. You should be able to buy a rifle / long gun at your nearest Wal-Mart same day. If you want a pistol, you might have to wait for you background check, but that usually only takes a few days. I also hear single-use short-range firearms can be 3d printed.
I obviously prefer to keep my life without firearms.
I didn’t even like carrying a sidearm when I was an Army Medic.
Well, some tasks require particular tools. I suppose you could also get a javelin or a bow and arrows. Possibly at Wal-Mart, but more likely specific sports supply or hunting supply stores.
I’ve said for at least the past 10 years that I need to train as a bow hunter.
I’m certain the fall of civilization will happen sooner rather than later. I was thinking more of climate disaster… yet, American Civil War has moved into #1.
I’m still betting on climate collapse to be the end of global civilization, tho I don’t expect that before 2050.
I don’t buy an American civil war, but I can see the federal government effectively collapsing soon, but most states hanging together.
Welcome to the internet
I have been here for a while, that’s why I know you have to state the obvious every now and again.
IME, that’s life in general. Plenty of people complain more than they work on making things better. That’s definitely me these last few weeks.
Even when I was being productive, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t doing the “dirty work”.
I never cared how.
Then organize.
I haven’t cared how for about 4 years and 110 days.
Ah, but did you make a meme about it?

I can’t wait to watch MAGA eat itself when Bonespurs finally has his massive Big Mac Attack. That gang of self-centered opportunists will claw each other to pieces trying to get to the top of the power vacuum.
