  • But it would be sad if we lose USA entirely to this Russian bullshit

    From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

    So many people are viewing this crisis from afar as some sort of sardonic entertainment, even cheering for the whole country to go down along with everyone in it, because of what one incredibly loud and rich minority is doing to the country and her neighbors.

    They don’t understand what that would do to a lot of damn good and decent people, and that attitude isn’t helping anything. They don’t understand threats just like this one are testing the fences in their very own backyard, looking for a single weakness to throw all their fundamental institutions into disarray.

    We are still trying to stop this as reasonably as we can. We’re still trying to pressure our remaining sane lawmakers to do the right thing. We’re still pushing back while struggling to pay our friggin bills because, as it turns out, “full-time revolutionary” is a very limited-opportunity career path.

    We’re trying to do this cleverly and safely, because if the excuse to enact “martial law” hits, we’re all in very real danger of state violence where nobody will be able to speak up ever again.

    A lot needs to change, and it needs to change drastically, but just because we aren’t sandbagging at the Capitol doesn’t mean we aren’t fighting.

    Thank you for at least understanding and feeling the loss of what this is doing to very real, very good people. I appreciate you dearly.








  • And we were all just discussing how those fines were an insignificant, barely noticable scratch upon their obscene wealth that doesn’t go nearly far enough.

    The threat of consequences by tiny little fines is enough to make a propaganda push to alter the world map and ignite chaos. Like imagine pushing a state to secede from the Union because you’re feeling bitchy over paying a parking ticket.

    These people have rejected their humanity and become raging sociopathic misanthropes that any civilized society would rightly banish into the cold of winter to face the wolves.







  • …giving it awareness is still pushing the ball forward.

    100%.

    I felt physically sick the last (very rare) time I checked my Nextdoor, and a person reporting ICE activity was getting brigaded with “BuT tHeY’rE ArReStiNg CriMiNaLs AnD pRoTeCtiNg Us” type comments. Like I was seriously HOPING this was bot farm activity. Like it’s heartbreakingly painful to see people that are sincerely that stupid.

    The more irrefutable proof of these crimes, the more the “I’ll believe anything I hear” normies will accept the truth as “common knowledge”, and the hardline fascists get further discredited and ridiculed in public discourse.
