    To be honest I feel like this is a candle that’s going to burn bright too fast and the country will quickly fall into complacency.

    Prove me wrong, America, prove me wrong.

      The cycle of people protesting; politicians not doing shit; conditions getting worse… has been stuck on loop for decades. Yelling and holding signs isn’t going to cut it. Until oppressing becomes a significant mortal liability, the oppression will continue.

        Hrm, so what do you think? Accelerationism? Don’t want no unnecessary violence but don’t see sucking establishment dick werkin’ to whit.

          Honestly, the only thing I see actually working is more Luigis. Gotta have the fucks in charge scared enough to comply, or just outta the way entirely. I’m not advocating violence, obviously, but I honestly don’t see anything else bringing about change. Protest doesn’t seem to work, and none of the Democrat politicians care enough to actually act. Voting doesn’t seem to be worth a damn, but I still do it anyway because it’s something I can do and takes like 5 mins. I can’t protest because I work, and I can’t be loud on online forums where I can be identified because I don’t want anyone who knows me professionally (clients) to know my true opinions.
