I'd like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I've never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I've been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.

I'll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.

Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I've ever been a part of.

Edit2: What a joke

Look here Europe. I don't know how well y'all understand the states, but it's unfathomably large. People in the big cities can definitely organize and revolt. But, against who?

The power is concentrated in Washington DC. It's in an extremely inconvenient location to get to, and I'm starting to understand why.

The last person who was able to amass a large enough following to organize people and march all the damn way to Washington DC was assassinated by the FBI - more specifically J. Edgar Hoover, one of the OG Incel MAGATs. The last president that was able to advocate for the same rights was assassinated by the same group.

Malcom X could see that the only way the US government would change was through speaking the language it knew, but he, too, was taken out by the FBI.

The billionaires in power speak the same language. They wear children as meat shields. They spark violent rhetoric. They won't hesitate to take out a figurehead before he becomes too powerful like King, JFK, and Malcom X.

If the government is this centralized that makes it easy to revolt. Just topple the state government and make your own rules. Then the "power" has to first get into their cars and drive all the way to you.

Revolutions moetly dont start in the populated areas where the government has many of it goons. They start in the thinly populated areas, where it is easy to seize local control.

I live in California... Why the fuck would we topple one of the few good governments in the US?

Is this thread full of people pushing propaganda? These are such stupid suggestions...

Okay. I'll go outside right now and tell "I DECLARE SUCCESSION!" Man, you must be a genius! Why didn't I think of this sooner?! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry guys. But I did it now. We're saved.

Shrug. You asked a question I answered it. I made no representation it was easy or low effort.

It's "secession" by the way not "succession" the latter is what happens when King Mango hands the oval office over to Don Jr after his 3rd term
