band together is just impossible now, they learn from french revolution so well. Make sure average joe will be out on the street if they cant receive their next wage, and what you can do against government who owns all the firearms, your whole data about you and your family so you can easily blackmailed while you marching with empty stomach without place to sleep ?

Unfortunately the government has all the tanks. And historically people will tolerate nearly anything short of death - often via food scarcity - before they actually put their own necks on the line.

This is the thing with Lemmy - there's all these veiled calls for violence which seem like an astroturfing campaign to foment social unrest from users on weird instances which should be banned.

You don't need tanks - we live in a democracy - you can band together and form a political party to replace the government, and convince people to vote for you. That's how it works.
