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.

Revolt? Americans proved that they would rather let the country burn under a fascist psychopath than oppose him and vote for an imperfect alternative. Americans get what they deserve, even the left went full toxic American this election, they can’t unify to oppose shit.
The American leftists are currently surrounded by the fire and wreckage of their future while going “take that democrats”
Our population largely would willingly choose a long, slow boil in a pot over a sudden change to their way of life.
The comforts that come with living in the wealthiest land in the world are more than addicting, they're dangerous to a society that's still under threat of being exploited by men with designs on power and control. It's so easy to leverage a comfortable population. An uncomfortable population is more likely to move, to get up and change something or resist a new order.
So our best hope right now is that things move fast enough to make enough people uncomfortable that our population starts talking in terms of "general strikes" and other forms of protest that will shut the country down long enough to purge the oligarchs either by sending them off or lopping off their heads.
And as weird as it sounds to say in the year 2025, yes I am on board for a revolution with guillotines at this point. When a ruler harms or kills many people for personal gain, they have forfeited their lives and have forgotten that we want rulers who serve us, not kings who crush us.
even the left went full toxic American this election, they can’t unify to oppose shit.

Chill. America will be just fine. Russia and China are falling apart. America is always in a state of strife which make us great.
Russia, maybe, but now Putin has his US puppet back. China will bounce higher and jump on every international opportunity the US is fucking up. It will take the US decades to recover, if at all. This mess is so completely stupid and unnecessary.
China has a real estate debt bubble it is desperately trying to hide.
China's private real estate market represents less than a third of all real estate and is less than a tenth of the economy.
Then why did China buy up 40 banks to cover it up?
How is eliminating failed management and ensuring the money held in the bank covering it up?
Do you not know how the economy works in China? Over 60% of the economy is public sector, while some of that is just state investment, some is also failed private sector businesses that still would serve a purpose without profit motive.
It would be ridiculously cruel to allow a bank to fail while it still holds the savings of ordinary citizens. And it would be ludicrously stupid to bail out failed companies and just allow them to continue functioning as they had. So you buy them, change the mission, replace the management, everyone except the rich fucks win
Go back to any month in any year in the last thirty. You'll find the same type of opinion pieces from the same people. Despite this China has raised the most people out of poverty in all of history, and has matched the US' s GDP.
Pointless 'china is really failing this time despite us being wrong the last 2000 times' articles prove absolutely nothing. Because China isn't trying to be profitable. They are not an oligarchy like euro nations. They are not a kakistocracy like the US. Their economy is fundamentally different.
China has raised the most people out of poverty? You sure aboIt that? How has that chinese navy been keeping global trade going? That's right, it hasn't because China has no blue water ships. They are totally dependent on America keeping global shipping lanes clear. If tiawan wanted, they could blockade China and bankrupt that fragile economy in 6 months. China was lucky to raise those people out of poverty since mao put them there. How did those 4 pests work out?
China will never be a global power because they can't innovate. They can only steal. Because of their top down culture, the military is dog shit and no threat to anyone. So yes, the entire chinese economy is fake and built on poor contrsution that cut corners.
Tell that to the LGBTQ, women, immigrants, and minorities. See what they think about it. Come back here with the responses.
I have seen more sexual rights happen faster than minority rights. It's a slow process with setbacks but it is happening.
idk about china, russia doesn't seem to be struggling significantly either, especially with the new american government lmao.

Damage is done. Russia is out of money and China is in a real estate crisis.
russia has no more war chest money* (they are required to subsidized industry directly, or make money from said industry which is now significantly upsized and has more capacity (plus the US peace talks meme))
china is in a real estate crisis, so is america, and canada, and australia, and london, and basically every other high density population area in the world. This literally isn't new.
Yeah. Russias economy is smoked. Got any evidence otherwise?
China is having to buy their falling banks. Bubble popping .
Americans uniting to burn the country down =/= revolt?
There is no real revolt or change without violence and anarchy. No protest or movement succeeds without blood
Sorry I was joking that the republicans are the violent protesters currently.
