I don’t know if I’m going crazy but looking at the current situation in the world … please tell me that I’m overexagurating

    I think that the true world war 3 will not be nations against nations, but citizens against their own nations. The stage is set for an actual paradigm shift or system annihilation. We will not support civilization if it doesn’t change, either the people destroy the pyramid or the pyramid will destroy the world.

      I kinda doubt that will happen. For instance, look at Venezuela: Venezuelans are beyond fed up with Maduro’s dictatorship, but there’s nothing they can do against the government forces.

      Governments will do anything they can to prevent a paradigm change.

          Yeah, the rigged ones lol. There’s even mathematical evidence of it being rigged, with votes accounting for exact percentages with just 2 decimal places, for every single candidate.

          Venezuela hasn’t publish the official acts, nor let international observers be present in the elections. There was heavy repression on elections day as well, plus some offices not letting people vote.

        What revolution really takes is soldier’s that are protecting the system being unwilling to kill when the “rebels” are their family and friends.

        If soldiers have love for the people and see common cause more than they fear their leaders then the leader can fall.

        Westerners sure do seem to think they know the feelings of citizens of other countries better than those citizens themselves.

            Wasn’t their current president a bus driver who rose up through politics? I had seen a mention of that in some online discussion.

            Also, that the USAmerican govt has issues with Venezuela nationalising their oil and acting as a competitor to the petro-dolla system

            So would they just be a adversary country, which may likely be conservative, rather than a dictatorial one?

              Bus drivers can be dictators as well. It’s less about the person and more about the political situation. In Venezuelas case oppression of the opposition and unfair elections

      Paint me a picture of what you think that looks like. Here’s my painting: Everybody marches on their capitals, everyone gets gunned down with 30mm cannonfire, the Americans are gunned down holding pistols and rifles everyone else is gunned down holding pitchforks and torches.

        who’s doing the gunning? we dont have that many combat robots yet, and i still have hope that communication is open enough and most people aren’t too brainwashed to realize firing on your own countrypeople is bad.

        but we better do sonething before these change.

        Guerrilla tactics work, no one is ever gonna just randomly storm the capitals, that’s just kind of naive and reductive
