Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Uh, source? Do I know you?

You don't. That's why its up to you to make your point when making statements like this.

I've seen no such actions so without any particular claims, this is just fantasy posting.

The leverage is numbers.

I literally address the fact that you don't have said leverage and wont get it any time soon in the very thing that you quote.

No one is being convinced by your angsty, snarky, online leftist purity raging.

And the organization at this point is just basic survival instinct?

If you think basic survival instincts are in any way conducive to long term goals... I don't even have a clever retort. That's just an insane thing to think.

We’re on a burning planet and being told that yes we need change, but we also need to wageslave while doing it.

You aren't told, thats the reality.

People stop doing their jobs, without tremendous planning ahead, and they die.

That's reality.

You are nowhere near having the capacity for a general strike, and you're losing capacity as the tech feudal lords clamp down on the means of communication, and as people on decentralized platforms are notoriously completely impossible to deal with and hyper idealistic.

Nice try glowie.

See, it's childish bullshit like this which means we can't make progress.

My point is clearly that nothing remotely like these fantastical ideas of an underground revolution are actually happening. We've seen these grumblings online for fucking decades.

You'd think you'd have literally anything, like non personally, to show for it. Instead its nothing but talk.

Some random not hyper online dude shooting a healthcare ceo in the back because his back hurt and he was hard done by them is the closest you've come to that, and it wasn't you.

I just know what has already happened in the past and can try to extrapolate.

You are remembering selectively, and remembering out of context, because the US is not WW2 germany. They're WW2 germany with nukes and a military multiples of times more formidable than the next multiple combined.

There is no coalition of countries currently equipped to take them on.

More than that, those countries are all having similar problems with right wing groups flaring up.

More than that still, in recent history, when there have been revolts, they haven't switched to socialism, or even just more socialism than before in notable ways. They've mostly just switched to more capitalism, supported by the US.

And again, I don’t know what basis you have to speak of my character.

Because once again, the online fringe you represent simply has no track record to speak of. They simply have not done anything for decades, and if they had any teeth, there would be something, anything to show for it.

Jesus christ, is that the most radical, outside-of-the system take you could think of for global policy change?

No, it isn't the previous thing you absolutely do not have the guts or organization for is. This is the accomplishable thing that would not accomplish the final goals and instead would be handing right wing fascists the long term victory on a silver platter.
