That’s sort of a version of an old Soviet joke…
A Soviet man is waiting in line to purchase vodka from a liquor store, but due to restrictions imposed by Gorbachev, the line is very long. The man loses his composure and screams, “I can’t take this waiting in line anymore, I HATE Gorbachev, I am going to the Kremlin right now, and I am going to kill him!” After 40 minutes the man returns and elbows his way back to his place in line. The crowd begin to ask if he has succeeded in killing Gorbachev. “No, I got to the Kremlin all right, but the line to kill Gorbachev was even longer than here!”

(I heard a different version with Khrushchev, but I’m sure it was told a lot.)
Wasn’t Gorbachev the chillest of all Russian rulers? For some reason that is his image in my head.
I would guess Yeltsin for most chill. But either way I’m thinking by gorbachev’s time bread lines were still pretty bad.
You only need to wait for the purge, and in a queue, if you’re going one-on-one, but never forget - we are the many, they are the few, all we need to do is unite.
In the purge anything goes, even cutting in line
even cutting in line?!?!
Oh yeah, I’m a badass mix of Jonny bravo and Evel Knievel. None have performed such a daring stunt. It all started when I was born, I realized I could be born first by cutting in front of my twin.
Then I continued my extreme sport as I grew, candy at trick or treat, using the potty, using the break down lane during construction. There was no end to my daring
This is my story, the man known as Aweso line gets cut
Ohh thr English won’t stand for that!
If they’ve a problem they can line up and speak with me! I’ll have them know though, that I’ll be first in line to talk to me no matter what.
Sure, but you’re still waiting for the government to legalise it for you, which is never going to happen (not for those of us who would target billionaires, anyway).
Cuts in line at the legalizing the purge line
That’s the spirit! 😂
yeah i got small grin out of election day coinciding with guy fawkes day
Always happens in your dreams, lemmy, while your biggest political activism is “trump bad” memes.
In reality, your beloved democratic party are just a different flavor of a corporate bitch.
You need to work hard on starting grass-root movements all across the country to facilitate proper democracy and eventually allow for a civilized political discourse at the parliamentary level where the whole spectrum of opinions is presented representatively.
But, no, ofc “puuuurge elon tomorrow!”. And then back to watching YouTube on your couch.
But, no, ofc “puuuurge elon tomorrow!”.
Wasn’t the whole moral of The Purge that rich people are insulated from the consequences of their shitty policy. And the only real defense against stocastic violence is community with your fellow man and trust in one another?
“Purge Elon!” is a fiction because Elon is at the center of an enormous, slavishly loyal cult. Meanwhile, folks on Lemmy would slit each others’ throats over a bad meme. There’s not going to be a line, because everyone in it would be stabbing one another.
Your beloved democratic party
I was under the impression that the democrats were pretty much universally hated here and the question was wether or not to hold our collective noses and still vote for them in face of a greater evil or not.
Implying that we have ever stopped watching Youtube on our couch to begin with
