I'm convinced nothing short of violence will change anything in a meaningful way in the states.

Just look at the French, their government is terrified of it's people.

That may be so, but if so, it's probably best not to strengthen the repressive reactionary entity you're planning on squaring up against.

Who, precisely, are you accusing of this and how do you think they are strengthrning the regime?

Who, precisely, are you accusing of this

Ghouls who constantly advocated things like "Voting doesn't matter, both sides are the same!" and we're now reaping the 'rewards' of.

and how do you think they are strengthrning the regime?

By literally putting it into fucking power, and then sneering at all action against it for being insufficiently 'revolutionary'.

Definitely a good point.

And you should most definitely not discuss any real plans of action on open, public forums like Lemmy. Find a private, closed, and encrypted service that can be trusted and use that.

Better yet, log the fuck off. Don't have sensitive conversations online. The internet isn't going to save us we have to organize locally.

This is why I had to laugh so hard about the groups that wanted to organize via reddit. WTF?

I'm not in the states, so this is purely hypothetical on my behalf.
