Some people are so fragile. Fox News of course is saying feds have banned non US flags, of course lying to their viewers about what is actually happening.

    I used to believe that the state of US politics is down to a shoddy education system. But by now I believe it’s down to so many politicians and their followers over there being on a pure chaotic evil alignment.

    They are just out to screw over the country and the people on purpose.

      The name of the game is to keep the masses fighting over and focused on ephemeral shit that doesn’t matter. Books, gays, lesbians, queers, trans, wokeness, CRT, religious tolerance, etc., This way the vast majority of the minority in this country are up in arms over what they see as threats to their way of life, as good god fearing christians. The real intent though is to keep them blind to how they’re being used, abused, sold out, turned into a product, stripped of their rights, and incrementally silenced, all so the people they put in power can make a few extra bucks while rat fucking a system that is engineered from the ground up to reward lying, cheating, demogoguery, and inciting division. The worst part is that this busted ass system is so entwined in the essence of what it is to be “'Murican” that questioning it, looking for logic, or even commenting on the hypocrisy in the design is enough to get violently assaulted in some parts.

      Rome 2.0 is burning, and our leaders have convinced us that all of us fiddling is best way to deal with it

        You’ve basically summarized my thoughts on alk the culture war bullshit lately. None of it truly matters (besides the obvious “being queer should not be a death sentence”). Its all aa distraction while our rulers grab even more power for themselves.
