What happens within a nation when the citizens of that nation are denied access to power? What happens when all the levers of change, politically are removed from the electorate? What happens when the electorate is disenfranchised?
It starts with anger, and as the injustices begin to accumulate, anger turns to hate, hate turns to acts of retribution, and the dominoes towards civil unrest and ultimately civil war start to fall, one at a time.
In the United States, today, this administration is removing all of the levers of power that enable the populace to affect their existence.
Simple things, like the provision of medicine, health, pensions, employment opportunities, education and promotional opportunities, cannot be stopped or withheld.
If they are?
The only option left is for people to first, withhold their labour, strike and shut down all services, and, if ignored to take over the government by force.
AI has a greater grasp of the coming reality than the trump administration.
It suggests;
Rebellion, an organized uprising against a government, often occurs when people feel marginalized, oppressed, or when there’s a perceived inequality or injustice, leading to resistance and a desire for change.
Political Grievances:
Lack of representation and self-determination.
When a population feels excluded from political process or lacks the ability to influence decisions that affect their lives, it can lead to rebellion.
Undemocratic Systems.
Authoritarian or oppressive regimes that suppress dissent and fail to uphold basic human rights are fertile ground for rebellion.
Lack of Political Reform.
Frustration with the existing political system and a desire for change can fuel rebellions, especially when legitimate avenues for reform are blocked.
Perceived Tyranny or Oppression.
Economic inequality in wealth and opportunity can create resentment and fuel rebellions, especially when the poor feel they are exploited by the wealthy.
Economic Hardship.
Periods of economic hardship, such as famine, widespread unemployment or high taxes, can lead to social unrest and rebellion.
Failure to Address Economic Needs.
When a government fails to address the basic economic needs of its people, such as food security or access to resources, it can lead to rebellion.
Social Grievances.
Discrimination and marginalization.
When certain groups are discriminated against or marginalized by the government of society, it can lead to rebellion.
Social Unrest.
When there is widespread social unrest and people feel that their rights are not being respected, it can lead to rebellion.
Loss of Identity.
When a group feels that its identity is being threatened or undermined, it can lead to rebellion.
All that is needed to bring about rebellion then, is, leadership, opportunity (such as weakness or instability), Propaganda and Mobilization, can play a significant role in raising awareness an mobilizing people to rebel.
Where is America Today – Just 2 Months In?
All of the above except ‘outright repression’ already exists in America, right now, today.
Repression is beginning as well. Arrests, deportations, removal of birthright citizenship are now in effect.
What’s next?
Autocracy, suspension of rights, a police state.
That’s what trump wants, and, if Americans do nothing, the loss of democracy and the rise of a fascist state. Support for racism, misogyny, hate speech, religious intolerance and ultimately violence and acts of hatred against minorities, intellectualism, education and any form of independent and liberal thought.
It isn’t anti-wokism.
It’s complete destruction and dissolution of democracy.
This is already America, but unleashing of the hounds of hate is about to begin. When the last organs of power are removed from the hands of the citizens, then, as Trump has stated more than once, as though the dictator complete,
“Unleash Hell”.
America — get the fuck away from us.
