Protesting against a government with ample amounts of 5th generation multi-role fighter aircraft, drones with Hellfire missiles, and plenty of rubes who are giddy at the prospect of shooting the populace they’d supposedly sworn to protect is a fool’s errand.
Wildcat strikes “are de wei”.

He should have gone to ground earlier in the campaign.
It can; is that hotly debated?
Fair; poking fun at your lemmy handle was admittedly unnecessary, but I thought it was a decent ribbing, given the name and what you claimed.
However, none of that absolves you from providing where you get the information that “everyone collectively agrees that the USPS is shit” compared to FedEx and UPS and what it’s specifically “worse” at. You’re not claiming something axiomatic like “2+2=4”, you’re making broad generalizations about “everyone”.
Of course, you can make claims without evidence and post wojak memes all day, but then “everyone” would “collectively agree” that you’re full of shit.
everyone collectively agrees
Evidence of this?
USPS is shit compared to their competitors FedEx and UPS
At what? Packages or letters? Bulk shipping? International? Domestic?
Define, refine, and support your terms and arguments.
Then again you decided on @RoosterBoy@lemm.ee as a handle, so I suppose we should all expect nothing but “cock-a-doodle-doos” out of you.
I think you may be correct in the sense that a great cultural change needs to occur for people to even contemplate that a wildcat strike as an option exists and is viable in halting the mechanisms of oppression/repression.
The problem is the entrenchment of authoritarian techno-feudalism combined with the hubris of “might makes right”. The solution is wildcat strikes.
I feel Word of Blake could work for the Trumpers but part of them seem similar to Katherine Steiner-Davion sycophants.
As an aside, I always preferred House Davion in the Inner Sphere, however my first loves were the Warden Wolves and the Ghost Bears. Honorable mention to the Nova Cats and a hale shout-out to The Wolf’s Dragoons.
VPN with multi-hop proxy, my bratha/sista.
plausible explanation for this level of incompetence
Competence is irrelevant. He’s not here to “govern effectively”, he’s here to dismantle the U.S. and its allies and turn them into vassal states for the CCP, Putin Regime, the House of Saud, and any other authoritarian who wants in on the action.
The world is largely full of masochists ruled by sadists.
Never underestimate people’s desire for servility in the name of stability.
The vast majority of people have an exceedingly high tolerance for their own subjugation if it means they don’t have to think or act to avoid pain or responsibility.
Okay, I admit that I basically said the same thing 3 times with different wording. Personally, I just hope that I’m not as docile as I fear that I am.
I’m going to be flogged for saying this as well, but I don’t understand why you’re being down-voted.
I lost a lot of money being furloughed and was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, and many old friends of my father in India died in that global cluster-fuck. Granted, there were many environmental benefits for our ailing biosphere, and I found many moments of peaceful solace as a result of not having to be in public, but average people were eviscerated by that virus on many levels.
I agree: despite the inevitability of another one, to wish for another pandemic is, at best, an idiotic, selfish, and angsty teenage opinion. Along with the obvious health risks, people now have even less trust in institutional health and scientific organizations, leading me to predict that the next one will be even worse because people refuse to think and learn nothing from the past.
Even worse, people regard their unbridled skepticism of expert opinion, research, and their own scientific ignorance as a virtue. We experienced the Dunning-Kruger effect at a global scale and will do so again because the average person despises humility and thinks they know everything about anything.
Kind of like a bunch of bratty teenagers.
Ah yes, “insert'Muh'MemeLanguageHere
” argument/excuse that we all heard a bajillion times
Makes more sense to me if the prefix “en” is used in “enshittification”.
