No Stupid Questions

What if you choose another path instead? The government that installed the flock cameras is usually 5 overworked people trying to do the best they can for their community. Go to a city council meeting and speak to them as though they have not been radicalized yet.

Volunteer for and show up to city council sponsored events. The very same people who make decisions about the flock cameras put on these events and they will be there. Get involved in your community and get to know the leaders.

All of the city council people I know are either idealistic and trying to build a better community or they are tired and looking for someone to give their seat to. If you can't convince enough council members to change their mind get them replaced.

The tricky part is going to be the rest of your life.

People will riot when they feel like they have nothing left to lose. Unfortunately, things have to get even worse and affect a very large number of people for us to reach that point. When you have nothing left to lose, you become very dangerous.

You're asking people mostly disconnected from global affairs, buried under poor working conditions, trying to stay afloat and distracted from their own foibles, to take part in something that will take the pathetic and worse existence they are living now into a direction that is SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

Riot and revolution are always downgrades from the status quo in the hope the suffering leads to something better. The jury is out on whether not that always happens.

For now we get a very boring five phase empire collapse and its never a drastic change to bad until multiple systems fail.

Some of your neighbors still think it’s fine. Global warming is bullshit because we still have super cold winters sometimes.

Start by changing their minds. All the rioting in the world will just make them dig their heels in. But if they understood the issue then maybe rioting wouldn’t be necessary.

Part of the issue is that everyone I know that wants to do something is terrified that it’s going to place targets on vulnerable members of their larger communities. A lot of trans people, queer people, black and brown people, disabled people, immigrants, and indigenous folks I know want to DO something. They’re just scared that if they do, then it’s going to only accelerate violence against their marginalized communities and the greater population isn’t going to fight for them.

Nothing is going to happen until we weaponize the cishet white dudes and get them on our side.

Probably will start with an uncontrollable flash point. Arab Spring supposedly started when a citizen set himself on fire whose frustration about daily life was wide spread. It just flipped a switch in people.

climate change can be stopped with solar energy, and the amount of installed solar power has grown exponentially in the last few years. so that's something positive.

There are literally more of us than them. We could walk and crowd the capitol to force them to make a decision by striking the hell out of them.

We could be leaking corporate secrets. Feels like none of that is happening rn surprisingly. I'm talking about like Mr Incredible leaking loopholes, secrets, and all of the above.

They won't listen until we bring the fight directly to them in their own stupid language. Just imagine. One day, KFC recipe is leaked. Next day, financial corps have their secrets leaked, and so on and so forth.

So much could be done but we're just waiting for a new hope trope to show up and swoop in.

Kudos to you @moncharleskey@lemmy.zip for asking the right questions. I've been wondering when shit will finally start happening myself and I have no clue still.

It starts with holding our leaders accountable. Especially the ones that do the Epstein-Class' bidding.

All over the USA municipal councils are feeling the heat from constitutions regarding AI/flock. I have no sympathy for councilors who fear for their lives after throwing their constituents under the bus.

AI/flock needs to be the flash point that unifies working class people. The Epstein-class is desperately trying to stop the working class from forming class consciousness.

When death is no longer the worst alternative, there will be revolution.

This shit has gone on for way too long.

Best way to start it off is with a symbolic figure. Some greedy CEO, board of directors member, police chief, or corrupt politician. Whatever is done has to involve being publicly displayed.

I find myself being pushed closer and closer everyday to jumpstarting it myself, but the reality is, it is highly unlikely that one person is going to accomplish it. Coordination with others is key.

...or so I've heard.

Its less about starting to riot and more about stopping to buy. Cancel your accounts, throw away your credit cards, stop paying taxes, start a fucking garden ( now is perfect btw) and build a network of friends and neighbours.

We all want to have a good life lets just live it.

I think you need to find like minded people. Look for action groups near you. For example in the UK there is Extinction Rebellion or Take Back Power.

As you meet more like minded people you can help cause change.

And then it's a case of talking to people and sharing ideas without pushing your agenda.
