No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

World war 3
Or just a US revolution could work. We don't have to kill everyone.
That would be a good solution but world war 3 looks more probable
you misspelled profitable.
Not if you are the loser in the war
That's part of what Sarah Kendzior has argued for a decade or more. US companies and klepocrats (though I repeat myself) know that the only thing that can match their weight is a powerful federal government. Turning the US into 50 (or more) warring little nations will make it easier to carve up. They have already done this to a large extent with the poorer states under the guise of "state's rights". It is also why they run a perennial effort to break up California and it is undoubtedly why the right's other "big project" is to destabilize the European Union.
For whom? Even those making nuclear weapons, have a high chance of dying in the war, have their possessions destroyed, their investments ruined.
Half of America actively support this shit. They are a LONG way from doing anything about this themselves.
Not even 1/4th, and that's counting the stupid, ignorant and disconnected. 77M of 342M voted for him.
And even among MAGA, money says I could hammer on my fascist neighbor's door and ask him why the fuck Trump kidnapped the President of Venezuela and he wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about.
People who stayed home with fascism on the ballot are as good as fascists themselves.
i dont think so at all tbh. theyre both victims of propaganda, but id argue the ones who became fascist are leagues worse than the ones who became apathetic.
Shame on all the children who didn't go vote for Harris.
So half your country won't be moaning and denouncing and overall being sad next time and assassination attempt is made against Trump, right?
... Right anakin?
Yeah, right.
The other half is almost completely oblivious or just doesn't care what the US does abroad. They only start caring when American soldiers start dying in significant numbers, like in Iraq and Afghanistan. I definitely agree with the other poster who said WW 3 would be a more likely scenario than US revolution because of actions like this.
How is the US population to unite, self organize into militias and erect barricades with the current surveillance state and social media polarization?
Americans are staying at home doom scrolling and getting angry about their scarecrow neighbors they are made to dislike.
We know for sure that Americans are not ready to do anything more than voting and praying to answer any form of the social question. Haven’t been for a while. We’re on the slope of them not caring about the political question either. It’s all bread, circuses and surveillance algorithms.
Don't forget about the Sword of Damocles that is the lack of social safety nets. Also, political ignorance is a feature, not a bug in our political system. A quarter of the American population would kill the rest because they think the regime is "hurting the right kind of people" and not anybody that they care about. This also includes the minorities who will soon learn that being "one of the good ones" just means that they go to the showers later rather than sooner.
I share your pessimism. My answer had nothing to do with what might actually happen.
Even that's just a bandaid fix because it should really be all genuine humans against all other humans that play "the game" of taking advantage of people to get ahead.
Morons like this guy after why people hate Americans.
That will make them even richer...
Not if they are the losers of the war
So the destruction of life on this planet? Yeah you're right.
I am just predicting. I wish a more peaceful way
just vote Democrat
jesus, we live in a world of tankies
you are as bas as the tankies for defending the lesser of the warmongers
