What the fuck is going on in the world right now? How can so much ridiculous shit be coinciding?

We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.

Bingo. We've been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn't think we'll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.

I mean at least we outnumber them by a literal fuck ton.

[-] edg@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

Do we? A lot of people have stood on the sidelines and done nothing. They will continue to do nothing under fascism as long as they can live comfortable sedated lives.

What are you doing differently?

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

I don't know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.

If the French could do it, we certainly can as well. At least... I hope so.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

The French didn't exactly do it without bloodshed.

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

We're past that point. They've made their decision already by doing everything they can, including "reinterpreting" existing laws, to prevent us from handling things peacefully.

[-] nick@midwest.social 6 points 3 hours ago

Well I’m good with bloodshed.
