The lockstep calls for a fucking war with Russia across the political spectrum, including by probably 99% of the US left, has convinced me that change for the better is impossible in this country and will be for the forseeable future. People still got World Cop mindset and refuse to let it go. Memories like fucking goldfish, like the last 70 years of US interventionism just don’t count or some shit. This country needs to be humbled.
Made a whole damn account just to vent because it seems like this is the only place to do it without people saying you lick Putin’s boots.
It’s disturbing how much bloodlust and warmongering is in the air and how I seem like the insane one for not being enthusiastic about it. That said, I was already Jokerfied before the Ukraine invasion. :jokerfied:
The US response (more like the lack thereof and the treat-seeking reaction against a response) to Covid-19 made me abandon all hope for society as it is currently structured.
:grillman: blockaded hospitals with their chudmobiles because their treats vendors wanted them to wear masks and socially distance. Imagine the reaction in store for any last second mandates to mitigate the ongoing climate catastrophe, imminent food shortages and soil depletion, or the like.
At this point I just don’t know if there’s anything that can be done. Generations of attempts to change things have failed, over and over and over. This generation of US socialists has already accepted defeat even if we don’t want to admit it, and I don’t blame anyone for throwing in the towel.
Pretty much every American alive today will die fighting for the last scraps of bread in the ruins of their local supermarket, cheering on the latest foreign misadventure fought by trillion-dollar killer robots.
