Americans will just get mad post on Reddit and then go back to watching YouTube, Twitch in the hovel of their choice until ice comes for them and they will say no no not me you said it was the “others”. They are not watching the news. Bills to make furries the bad guys. Bills to make 2SLGBTQIA+ bad guys. Starting to grumble(by grumble I mean “we need to outlaw this stuff” talk) about what should and should not be on Twitch and other platforms. Grumbling about gamers and certain games. The list of buried stuff in the bills that are coming out is staggering.
They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
First they came for the sanctions against a country on the opposite side of the world 😔
What do you propose?
You're not going to Luigi the guy, security is far tighter and he's had a couple "attempts". Protesting is happening and barely accomplishing anything. The judicial system is doing more than i expected but he's ignoring it in many cases. Congress WILL NOT impeach him unless there's a switch in party majorities but that's a ways off.
I often ask this too non Americans foolishly assume we aren't doing anything. the problem is that, or system is strategically designed to give us the illusion of a voice. same with the right to bear arms, if the state was ever worried about those arms being aimed at them we wouldn't have a service amendment.
there's nothing really left to do with corruption actually the upper echelon, besides fed posting teir stuff which is unrealistic for many people.
I am not an american. All I know is if citizens just keep doing nothing the us will become just like the fascists in Germany did in WWII. It is up to them to do something or nothing. Time will tell.
I mean, his enablers are just as guilty. The entire christofascist movement would have had a hard time getting anywhere if it weren't for a few key corporations providing the services and technological development required to enforce or at least facilitate the enforcement of this ideology. I am being intentionally vague here.
All I know is that I go out of my way to discriminate against and fuck over people who support things that fuck me over.
