I’d love to see someone post a viable plan for America to overcome this problem. Because right now- there isn’t much that can be done that isn’t being done already. And I’ll add that it’s always so easy to look upon the problems of others and judge them as simple to solve, isn’t it?
I mean… how many of you all were in favor of Brexit? From my recollection, it wasn’t very many. Yet- it didn’t seem like anyone did fuck-all to stop it. From over here, it almost seemed like even was totally fine with it.
Additionally, it should be noted that he now has our military loyally shoved up his ass and with them- the technology to turn one house into a crater while leaving the one next door entirely untouched. If you haven’t noticed. We can’t seem to organize a decent-sized nonviolent protest. Hell, we couldn’t even vote this away knowing it was going to happen. The number of citizens that wanted this to happen outnumbered those that didn’t, and was actually helped by the remainder that refused to vote because of single issue bullshit and the fact that they’re fucking idiots.
I’d be willing to bet that there’s not a free-thinking and capable person here that wouldn’t fight for their lives and the lives of those they love if/when it comes to it- but as of now, anyone with a brain knows how futile any fight would be.
But by all means, don’t let this get in the way of all the fun you’re having making fun of people that are suffering and terrified about what’s being done to them here.
Do you always tell other people what they’re saying? I could have checked your comment history, but I figured I’d give you a chance to answer it honestly for yourself.
What do you suggest? Because all your rhetoric is doomer bullshit. Feel paralyzed? Fine. Don’t shit on other people trying to do something.
You can organize at home. You can volunteer. You yourself can get off your ass and do something.
If you’re not comfortable doing that. That’s fine. But please shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear how now that this might actually affect you it’s so super scary now.
Some of us are trying to do something, anything to help our local communities.
It’s not doomer. It’s being a realist. Down the line, there may be something that can get us out of this- but it won’t be protests.
The man just fired the heads of our military. Do you think shouting at buildings is going to make them say-
“Awww. You know what? They’re right. Let’s be nice to everyone!”
Seriously- what do you think protesting will accomplish? The choir is powerless to stop the church. You know this right? So we’re past preaching to them now.
You’re a doomer, you’re afraid. You cope by screaming into the void. You preach non violence. Now you’re saying we shouldn’t be nice to everyone. Protest doesn’t work. Do you have a coherent argument or are you too unsettled to have a through line?

This post reminded me of the flood of volunteers from around the world who supported the anti-Franco armies during the Spanish civil war.
I was getting my history from Hemingway so I decided to WIKI it and learned that the UK and other European countries supported Franco. Figures.
That was thirty years of facism.
Apparently your suggestion is for us all to sleep though it.

ROFL… okay man. I didn’t preach shit. But you go on an have a nice little protest.
I hope those buildings are listening.
So no coherent argument then. Noted.
Yeah. You don’t get to take the W just because you annoyed someone out of discussing something with you. This isn’t how adults interact.
And since you’ve shown that all you’re willing to play the role of me in this discussion, I don’t really have to be here for it.
Just go ahead and fill in my part in this and I’ll come back around in a few hours to have a few laughs.
