I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.

    Oh don't worry it will affect us alright, it's just that we don't have any say in whatever happens there.

    Like any of us do? I'm just waiting for lines to be drawn where I know where I can stand.

    You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it's your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).

    I do what I can in a deeply red state where putting a democratic anything in your yard or on your car gets you attacked. When the lines are drawn I will probably be in the nearest blue zone which I guarantee will draw troops. Its the plan to occupy the cities and terrorize the populace to violence. Then they are just defending themselves against 'evil' terrorist. Its what they did when George Floyd was killed. They incited the violence and used it as an excuse to injure and kill protesters.

    Still a democracy. They actually put CEO's in jail there.

    Sure, but the obsessive focus on econimic growth is directly responsible for their birthrate plummeting to a disasterous level. And well, they may still have a democracy and some CEO's may see jailtime there, but I have personally heard a few too many stories about the rich and powerful over there getting away with shit. Plus the country is pretty much owned and run by Samsung.
