    What of the police state though? How can revolutionaries stay out of the gulags in order to fight these revolutions you speak of.

    I don’t believe in the extreme, tired ways of the retirees of the world. There’s plenty of smart routes to change that don’t require being thrown in jail.

    We live in the technical age, one hacking group took out most of Las Vegas slots. Anything is possible through though and intelligent action. Stupid violence leads to unnecessary death.

      Bail fund. Physically bust open the jails. Attack police and liberate people from arrest. You know, the usual.

      I agree with you that white-collar tactics should be a part of the revolutionary’s repertoire of government -overthrowing tactics, but honestly, I don’t see how it’s possible to completely avoid getting physical with those cretins at some point.

      Most violence is actually intelligent. They’re never mutually exclusive.

      While these idiots are advocating for a revolution they’ll neither participate in not be effective if they did, the rest of the world will just keep innovating it’s way out of problems.

      People like the dude you’re replying to are the worst kind of useless. They’re the kind of person buying Powerball tickets to try to get out of debt.

        Yet they seem effective enough that you are regarding them as a threat, hence you’re investing all that time and energy you’re supposedly putting toward innovation into arguing with people like me on the Internet.

              I don’t believe you have a job. I think you’re in college, almost certainly undergrad.

                    No you don’t. You’re sitting on the toilet at work arguing with me on Lemmy. You’re just as naughty as the rest of us.

                    You’re just as disaffected as everyone else and the day you realize it’s because the system you’re defending is the problem is the day everything will make sense to you.

                    I don’t even use Youtube. It’s too full of ads. Come on. If you’re gonna lay out troll bait to kill time, you could at least try to throw out something halfway decent.
