So this is how furries happened isn’t it?

Ukraine is about nearly 10x Vietnam at this point.

Hell, Russia experienced a Vietnam level of loss in about 2 months during the Avdiivka offensive.

What this ultimately amounts to is the worst actors using a blanket justification to carry out revenge fantasies against whatever marginalized group they’re fixated on.

If you happen to be part of any of these marginalized groups, now would be the time to get armed and get dangerous. It would be great if we lived in a functioning society where this wasn’t necessary, but the failure of so many of our institutions is slowly rewinding our social fabric back to wild west times.

I want a democratic party that is as fully willing to ratfuck and obstruct all conservative efforts as the republicans have been for decades.

I want them to stop attempting to “reach across the aisle” to an enemy faction that would never be willing to do the same.

I want them to vote 100% against every single human garbage dump nominee that Trump puts in front of them.

I want them to have state police ready to clap the cuffs on Elon Musk as soon as her enters a state where he has broken the law.

I want them to stop playing defense and to start attacking for once, and I want them to do this as a unified front.

I want representatives that are willing to pull some South Korean shit and kick down doors on unelected DOGE stooges flinging shit inside our vital institutions.

If you’re really going to sit here and pretend that none of the things I mentioned play a clear and obvious role in our current situation, I don’t even know where to start with you.

Just ignored the entire first part of that, didn’t you champ?

The average American voter is hilariously unengaged. Many of them read at an 8th grade level at best. We’re suffering the consequences of an education system that has been tragically underfunded for generations, and our media institutions are thoroughly compromised. Because of this, media literacy may as well be non-existent. The worst actors in our public institutions know this and have chosen to capitalize on it. Foreign interests recognize the obvious weakness in our social fabric, and they have been taking advantage of it to great success.

We are completely lacking the most crucial part of any functional democracy - an informed electorate. We have the least qualified people making the most important decisions.

The United States is effectively a failed state. Many of us recognize this, but our options for addressing the problem are limited. We not only have to dislodge the largest defense structure the world has ever seen, but we have to somehow fix the plague of weaponized stupidity that is conservative culture in order to ensure the worst humans don’t end up in powerful positions.

If you have any suggestions on how to start fixing that, I’m all ears.
