People don't understand the immense pride I feel as a U.S. citizen knowing that no matter what happens and what consequences there are we will only more confidently double down on being wrong until we get hit in the head by the sky having actually fallen because we somehow broke it for everyone.
We won the war on drugs, we won the war on terrorism and we will win the war against our own futures! We will show you!
Damn we are so smart, maybe you canadians need to drink more milk because your brains aren't very powerful, especially with AI now you need to catch up.
-I lean over and in a whisper add someone please rescue us from this hellscape, we are TERRIFIED
Before creation, the angels were panicking in heaven as God hadn't been seen for days.
Finally, Michael finds her and asks her what she has been doing?
"I created a world of balance. For every good there is an ill."
Michael wonders and marvels at the blue-green marble, eventually finding a land of unparralled plenty and beauty. "So who lives here then? They must be pretty rotten" says Michael.
God replies, "oh that ends up being Canada. They have some false starts, but they are among the kindest and most generous of the people I have created."
"But where is the balance in that? A beautiful land with great people?" Asks Michael.
"Wait till you see the bastards I put next to them."
Rescue yourselves please. Pretty pretty please. Do what you know needs doing.
lol, I am not here because I am foolish enough to expect I am actually getting rescued, we have long sailed past that point awhile ago, I am here because I call a turd a turd and that is just who I am and the rest of my life follows from that.
We are under no illusion how cooked we are, but you overestimate the agency we have to rescue ourselves.
Better start finding some.
Nobody else is coming to save you from yourselves.
It's up to Americans to fix their own shit.
There isn't any, are you listening to me?
People keep saying shit like "stay safe" as if there is any way most of us are going to escape this.
If I end up ok it is only because of dumb luck that many like me won't have, that is just the reality of it. I am ADHD, I don't fit into this society, my brain is unwanted in this society (fuck off anyone telling me ADHD is a gift), I have a massive target on my back and tolerance for neurodiverse folks is plummeting.
Why would you think I am under any illusion about my future or that I wouldn't have already avoided it if I could have?
For decades I've been constantly hearing Americans calling themselves"home of the free, land of the brave".
But in the last 4 months all I hear is "there's nothing we can do. We just have to accept this fascist takeover".
All of those Americans screaming about the Second Amendment, and absolutely nothing to show for it even as an actual fucking tyrannical government is undermining their country. Well armed militia my ass.
