I’m not saying it’s not bad or scary, I’m saying it’s worse to be here and a target. Living in Canada is the fucking dream for some people here right now. You’d think this wouldn’t be particularly outrageous to say, and yet.

you don't understand anything about the complex dynamics...multi generational defunding of education, over working, calculated burnout. the problem is there's a significant portion of people that quite frankly don't have the capacity to resist or effectively live in echo chambers. I strongly doubt it's not happening because you fight.people here fight too.people are fighting. many people in my community are protesting, I'm speaking out arranging people.its just not as easy as you are laying down ..the power dynamics here are completely different the in other countries.its an ultramilitarized police state, which has weaponized the media and social media to spread propaganda.... I get that you're frustrated but I also think maybe you're not understanding the complexities of how Americans ended up in this situation

I'm fortunate to be able to even have the time and privilege and health to even think about or be aware of this shit. so many are homeless or stuck in work burnout I don't think it's just 'oh we get what we voted for' not even 'we get what we don't resist' it's just not easy to resist such a massive scale operation in the smaller numbers of us that have the time and health.not to mention people that I care about are part of vulnerable groups ..so I kinda have to care. it's not like that for most people.

that being said I still think this Greenland stuff is all talk, it's a pipedream.were way too busy interfering in the middle east to justify an actual invasion of one of our neighbors much less one allied on NATO. I mean it's not impossible but I really do think this Greenland talk is aassoce distraction. afaik the real gem of the DoD rn is the middle east,.which is still fucked imo..but I would be shocked if they added invading ducking Greenland to the list, it's just a distraction or at least thats what I think I guess we'll just have to see

either way I fucking hate it here, if you know how alerican government works then you should know thaty state voted their part against the orange but also nobody wants to support the Dems because they are the same facists. at the same time the establishment actively colludes against and black balls any third party and the way our voting system is setup quite literally makes it impossible for any third party to challenge the establishment. I think it's important you know this as well, unless I like have the time and money to run multi state campaigns bigger than like the tens of billions the eastblishment can throw around to brainwash people (billionaires also bribe people) it's kind of impossible

anyways idk, we're trying I do think the people will prevail it's just going to take time to undo the harm and there's no point in us pointing the finger at anyone other than the bastards doing it.

anything else is pointless

If you’ve ever wondered how you’d treat a trans person living in an oppressive dictatorship, now you know.

Honestly cannot emphasize enough how deranged it is to say that “hey, living under this is worse than living next to it” is somehow belittling you.

Edit: also, the hilarity of doing this in a community with a giant rainbow banner in the sidebar isn’t lost on me.
