"but whatabout..."

It's a goal if you're so fucking disgustingly rich you can buy a private island and haven't seen the poors since your office was close enough to them you could faintly make out a small dot.

Because you'll have enough wealth to survive the shit storm, and then there's nothing those dirty plebians can do to stop you from basically deciding how things run from now on in your little corner.

I'm making an assumption here that you aren't disgustingly rich and therefore the thought of "fuck 8 billion other people if I get mine" didn't come naturally to you.

I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you'll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.

But it's exactly like that.

I mean, you can but then you'll also be one of the dead ones, labeled a terrorist, and your family will receive death threats.

I've been typing iSSe when talking to my friends.

SNW Entire season 1

Also episode 1 of lower Decks again while showing a friend the show

I also played star trek armada if you count that as "consuming star trek media"

Many of us are resisting, but there's so much more in the way of organizing in the US that isn't a problem in other countries.

I'd love for us to band together like I see France doing. Shut down entire cities just by simply being in the street protesting.

However, it's a lot harder to get people together on something when half the people who want to help are one paycheck from being homeless and starving or dying from their untreated illness without Healthcare.

It's harder to organize when the people who want to organize are spread out over 300 million square miles.

It's harder to organize when historically any left-leaning group is constantly hounded by the Alphabet Squad (fbi/nsa/dhs/etc) and Republicans will abandon their guns before letting performative gasp a black man have one.

Many of us are resisting, but when 1/3 of the population is cheering this shit on, 1/3 can't be bothered to make up their minds, and the entire system stacked against the remaining 1/3 that will at least vote for a chance at change.

Personally I'm helping network immigrants and their families near me so they have a plan of action if something happens and they need to leave quickly, physically protesting when I can, training firearms with some of the LGBT people I know, and trying to get some of the "on the fence" crowd I know to see reason.

It's not much, but it's what I can do without becoming just some dead nut job in the street.

I'm sure that England has been glad to be rid of us for quite some time. We haven't been very good allies in my lifetime, let alone before that.

I'm also equally sure plenty of Americans today would rather be somewhere in the UK.

I live in a deep blue zone, and would be happy to exchange some heat with you.

It's currently -23C here.

I'd argue that with the government, we are there at face value, but the next level down "behind the lie".

It's very much to me felt like they're saying these things knowing that nobody believes them, like when the stereotypical TV mob boss says something like "I'm broken up about the death of your brother" with a smirk. We all know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, and they're daring us to do something about it.

And also I'd argue that for the MAGAts, they're already a few pegs below the bottom. I've literally been called a terrorist this past week for pointing out Renee good was trying to turn away and leave, and Alex Pretti was unarmed and being beaten while not fighting back when he was executed.
