Is it time to be violent yet?
No. Please start anytime you're ready. Be safe out there, friend.
But you said no?
You definately shouldn't be violent at a time like this! wink wink
@[email protected] , They already decided. Stand down men!
You yanks should have started the violence well and truely by now tbh! Now it's just a combo of sad and horrifying watching this from afar!
It's more horrifying to watch it from within lol
I could only attempt to imagine, :( I really hope this mess is over as fast and as neatly as possible for you guys.
That is truly not possible, the cancer of capitalism is too deep in the government for anything to actually get fixed. The only way would be a massive invasive surgery to remove the cancer, or the country collapses and we have to build back up.
Ive seen it happening since I was old enough to follow politics, we have done nothing but make it worse, never taking one step in the direction of positive change, at best we just stop marching towards the cliff edge for a few minutes. I used to think to myself "I hope this shitshow can at least keep going until I'm dead and gone" but its becoming clear that's not the case. Now its economic collapse or facism or both. I'm fucking embarrassed by my country and more so a large swath of my country men that are just brainless fucking zombies without a single individually formed opinion, enthusiastically celebrating the dying breath of America, deluding themselves to thinking we are actually saving it.
I do not understand how it is not obvious to everyone alive that a system built on endless growth is destined to fail.

I think it was Mao Zedong who said "political power grows out of the ballot box." or something like that.
