When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It’s amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.

Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.

I don’t even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she’s believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn’t care less about school shootings anymore. It’s depressing as fuck.

            This is the inevitable outcome. Electoralism doesnt work. Reform or Revolution? We get neither and I dont see Revolution taking place at the heart of the empire. Socialism or Barbarism? Barbarism would be Chuds voting for more State violence. The most likely scenario would be either a climate change catastrophe that will only benefit the US, or nuclear holocaust because blood-thirsty liberals wont stop pushing their luck.

            I know there are good people in America that dont deserve nuking, I am not stupid (hey, I live here. I dont want to die), but looking at the whole picture unless the American empire comes to an end the number of harm/victims that Capital would eat and chew will continue to grow and get bigger and larger with time, it will encompass the whole world and future generations. If nothing changes we are going to end up like the Roman Empire’s collapse. Instead of a bang, America will go out with a whimper, after centuries of crisis and bloodshed, and in the end we will end up with a polluted global wasteland, with endless hot summers with no end in sight, with roaming hordes of Chuds looking for an open McDonalds in the ruins of what used to be their civilization.

              i cant help but feel like there’s some unintentional racism and shit involved when people say stuff like that, like just because you’re online and mainly interact with white middle class libs or w/e doesn’t mean there aren’t a bunch of us who aren’t those things held hostage here by them.

            it has consistently been one of the worst recurring bits since the days of the sub. talking about annihilating the country like everyone who lives here is a wasp silicon valley lanyard imo says a bit about the person suggesting it even as a joke

          Hey, FWIW I’m literally advocating for myself to be thrown in Italy so I’m not faring well either.

          But damn will I hope I get to live a nice, albeit quiet life on the Amalfi coast if I could get my way. sicko-wistful
