Wasn't it Lenin that said something about the bourgeoisie selling the proletariat the rope they would be hung with??

Just reach out and grab it.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What are they gonna do, take it back? Good luck, I have a pitchfork!

Locked down or behind a glass cage I bet

If you can't make a torch or pitchfork at home out of shit you have lying around, I don't need you on my side in the revolution.

I hear they named a pretty good one after the Soviet foreign minister during the Winter War..

Tape a sparkler to a bell jar full of spicy dino juice for a safer, less leaky, and more windproof cocktail.

Why make a cocktail when whisky does fine on its own?

There's always need for provisions.

In California you can only buy torches and pitchforks that are approved by the state. Guess how many inexpensive ones are approved (lol, none). If you want to carry your torch or pitchfork outside of your house it either needs to be locked in a box or you need to buy a permit, which runs about $1200. There's also a fee for a background check anytime you want to buy torch fuel, and they're raising it by 500%.

Ok but to be fair, do you want it to be easier for idiots to burn your state down?

Ok I typed that and immediately realized an idiot can probably still buy a Bic. Maybe... Maybe I'm an idiot

[–] Garbanzo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm actually talking about guns, and yes, they should be easier to get. The government and the wealthy should concern themselves with improving material conditions to avoid unrest instead of trying to monopolize the capacity for violence.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh. Uh. I support access to firearms for things like environmental conservation, but people with them are more of a danger to themselves, including myself. I'll support your right to defend yourself, but I won't go down that road further mentally. Wish you the best though

Torches and pitchforks became obsolete about a century ago anyway, the offshore bank account and private jet are too effective as counters. Now its boycotting and voting.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd say it's nicked M-15's in the US and 3D printed guns everywhere, nowadays

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Still runs into the problem of people not being on the same continent as you any time they feel like it, along with their accumulated wealth. I suppose you could use an ICBM.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The fuck is an m-15

Let them fractionally cower

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The oppressive elites can cower a little, as a threat.

A rifle used in some mass shootings in the US due to how inexpensive it is while still very effective.

Apparently it's mostly a rebranded AR-15, TIL! https://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/difference-m-15-ar-15

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, good luck voting your way out of a system that's controlled by exactly the people you're trying to get rid of..

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Better luck than thinking you'll have one of the few successful mass uprisings over one of the thousands that just gets crushed and gets like 2 sentences in a history book. Slow reform actually has a modest success rate, as we ourselves demonstrated under people like Teddy and FDR. Just not as sexy.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ummmm, rioting always has been and still is on the menu.

Boycotting and voting hasn't worked that well in 4 decades, time to drag the owner class into the streets and remind them what happened to Rome and France.

Now that deserves a good luck.

Side note, this is not the first time rich people have taken over the country, incidentally. We've had to fix this before.
