A lot of gun nuts, anarchist, leftist, and what have you keep hyping about revolution or civil war or eat the rich or luigi-ing billionaire, maybe you should talk to them i guess.

The core difference between the US and most other countries who handle shit that was is that the US is fucking huge. Its not some country where everypoint is 100 miles from the capitol which is also the one and only large city.

Also, despite thebstereotype, guns are really not that prevailent. Its a verybclose paralell to the 1% money thing, except the percentage is a little bigger. The average house doesn't even have a gun, and many of the ones thst do have maybe a hunting gun or two that they use to hunt. Then a small percentage of nutters have like 200 guns because they need to distrsct from having tiny dicks and an Ford F9000 wasn't large enough.

Keep in mind that not all gun collectors are compensating douchebags. Some of them are just autistic with a lot of money and want to have a personal museum.

That being said, yeah there's some compensators with a lot of guns

Some gun owners like collecting guns to build up a arsenal and a museum

See this is the shit I'm talking about, you just took all the nuance and left it out to die because you've found "the golden solution"

The idea that the US government would fall and that the "good guys" would end up in control of what followed is ridiculous.

Exactly, the country is finished. When trump dies of natural causes there's going to be a big competition to see who can be the biggest piece of shit in america and that person will be the successor. It's just completely fucked and it will stay fucked for decades if not centuries. American experiment is over.

Pax Americana is over. I expect America to stumble on. There are still a lot of capable and well educated Americans, and a lot of resources. It will take generations to heal though, and the rot that got us here will not be easily addressed.

What the rest of the world is going to have to deal with is that when America becomes less attractive to dominate, our oligarchs are going to turn their eyes elsewhere. They still have their assets, and no real loyalty to America. It already looks like the process is well underway.

I guess im seeing it as generations of getting a lot worse before the healing begins. Yes there are plenty of good people and they're all getting marginalized in our country.

I see three serious contenders for the next Presidency. Pritzker, Jon Stewart, and Tucker Carlson. That's three very different paths, and we'll know a lot more after that election.

The Republican nomination is Carlson's if he wants it, and he would roll right over another Zionist Democrat. Pritzker has the best chance of any traditional Democrat of satisfying (barely) both the establishment and progressive wings, and would dominate any Republican but maybe Tucker. Stewart would steamroll anyone dumb enough to debate him. He's still way too "enlightened centrist" for my liking, but he seems to be learning.

Vance has a chance if Carlson doesn't run and the Democrats nominate an establishment clown. Speaking of which, I think Newsom is going to flip-flop himself into oblivion early in the race.

Stewart and tucker will never run, maybe tucker would start an exploratory committee as a scam but he'll never get close.

Pritzker will run and he'll get third or fourth in the first couple primaries and drop out lol.

They're gonna run some maga dude and fix the elections. Maybe it will be vance, but i agree he's extremely low charisma, still they dont really care. Just a less unlikeable candidate would make the prophanda war eaaier to win.

thiel and ellison own the country they're gonna pick some empty suit like vance maybe lutnick someone like that.

Stewart has been asked the question incessantly for his entire career, and he always gave some kind of emphatic "no". He switched it up a year ago and isn't saying no anymore. Watching the Weekly Show, he really is acting like he plans to run.

Carlson is more of a long shot to run, but I don't put it past him. If he runs for real, I think he gets it. I agree that he probably won't. The Republican base isn't as easily dominated by money as you think. Remember that in Trump's first run all the money and establishment clout was against him. Thiel and Elison can run things because they have Trump on a leash.

I think you underestimate Pritzker, but I don't see anyone else right now that can speak to both progressives and the establishment. It's a really tricky lane to enter and he has it all to himself. We'll have to see who else runs.

Sorry guys, my wife told me I'm not allowed to do a politically-motivated violence :/

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

Understandable, wife is the minister of home and finance after all, if she said you have no budget for revolution you have no budget for revolution.

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
