No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

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.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

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



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

Plenty of historical examples how they've handled this in the past to look for examples.

Im very skeptical of those pushing for and talking about wanting a civil war. Why? Because it means they wanna kill those they dont like.

Beware those who dream of killing the people they do not like. They promise paradise but deliver only another tyranny.

I don’t know guillotines sound like a promising solution to wealth inequality and mismanagement

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also, never forget those who use the guillotine die by it. It always ends the same for the robespiere

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That’s a risk I’m willing to take

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Came back to genuinely ask:

1, what are you willing to kill for? Ie What are the goal and ideals of your revolution

2 why haven't you started yet?

3 guns are woefully outdated, drones are the weapons of today. Are you dronned up yet?

  1. I’d like to see every billionaire, shareholder and corporate CEO tried for their crimes and have their wealth confiscated. I’d like to see every politician with ties to Israel put on trial for treason and have the death penalty be put on the table. I’d like to have the goal be reducing wealth inequality by making all services required to live be public and a to have a constitutional convention with the goal of a total reformation of government.

  2. one rando doesn’t make a revolution

  3. not going to talk about what I have or don’t have on the internet

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Thank-you. Totally get 3. Have good day

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Well, thank you for the chat. I promise ill ponder this back and forth.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You wish guillotine. Go to Reddit's page for combat footage. Watch drones blown people up so that they're on fire and their spine is exposed. That is the Civil War. You'll get.

Yeah you’re right let’s just see how bad this pedofile controlled Zionist dystopian prison gets. I’m sure if the Palestinian’s just complied nothing bad would have happened to them /s

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There is no moment so bad, that it cant get worst.

Palestinians suffer greatly, needlessly. But there is a lesson we can take from their horrible mistreatment.

If you are a player in the game, you can win...but you can also loose.

Unless you have at least a few states of people ready to join you....your chances are bad and can end up w your death or worse: guantanimo level detainment.

Good luck w your choices...Genuinely.

Edit: my bad form, didn't realize i was responding to you.again or id skip it. We've chatted. No use deleting it now.
