Sorry, Americans. You had 20-30 years to stop this slow motion reactionary train wreck without risking serious consequences. You failed to do that, so now your choice is to do it the hard way or just roll over and give up now. All indications point to you having already decided to do the latter.

    I've spent years screaming into the void, trying to wake people up, feeling like Cassandra. After the election I had way too many people try to console me with "at least they're gonna go after the immigrants now"

    I don't know what to do now but all I see is no quick solution. I think the hard way won't result in the change needed and is only part of the accelerationism that got us here. We should all be doing what we can to set up for the longer haul.

    That was supposed to console you?

    I can't even do the mental gymnastics what they were thinking beyond I'm "white" (I identify as Rainbow People™) so i must agree with their racism.

    Trying to talk about trans issues beyond pronouns with any of them was met with uncomfortable silence, nervous laughter, or nonsequiters; so i don't know how I expected better from them.

    I'd be curious as to why they thought that Donvict's admin is only going after immigrants, anyway. I mean, given history of fascist actions....not that I expect these types to be any sort of students of history.

    I don't disagree at all with that aspect. As a minority who has been screaming at the others, it's hard to both try to explain why we're going down this path while totally understanding why the world is looking at us like we're all insane. Fire may be the only remedy at this point.

    I disagree with the timeline. I'm old, and things were already in motion when I was born. This has been a long train wreck with so many false points of hope and promises of change tricking and deluding us.

    I have the same take on humanity as a whole. It's been a long road of disappointment with lots of missed exits to possible better times.

    I'm American and I agree. People can downvote us if they want, but what we believe is true. There is literally no way this ends peacefully, and we shouldn't just be rolling over and taking it. Our whole country is a fucking joke full of larpers

    Brother, you're tagged as UK Troglodyte — your hatemongering is also invalid.

    Ah yes, telling someone not from the U.S. to stop hatemongering about the U.S. simply means I'm a fascist.

    You fucking extremists are a plague

    Yes, because you know everything about me — like I said, extremists (you) are a fucking plague.

    Spoken by the arbiter of truth, hatemongering across the ocean.

    Guess what dipshit, the U.S. isn't Nazi Germany and there are many reasons why. If you can't understand that, let me be clear — you are a dentbrained troglodyte and you should focus on the shit going on in your own backyard.

    Imagine thinking this is a take.

    Like I said, extremists are a plague.
