    Who is “you” in this meme? Hopefully it’s the capitalist/imperialist/political elites that direct the country (this includes the Democratic party leadership, btw). If would be very unfortunate if “you” meant regular people, as it would mean that not only is your country going to shit, but that you also have decided to learn nothing from it all, and thus you are bound to keep tripping up with the same stone in perpetuity.

    Life is conflict. We need to be ready to fight for the rest of our lives. If not for us, for our kids…or rather after this… Our grandkids. It’s bullshit but if anything, I have more purpose now than I ever did. Fixing this shits gonna take decades

        don’t know if you goofed on the definition, but that is absolutely an implication.

        you feel the same way this man feels who is sad because “they” have destroyed what used to be, an ideal that never existed.

        this is basically a maga meme.

          I’m sorry the world is the way it is but if you want the US to not be Imperialist and hyper capitalist and all these things then what you do is what works and what works in California and the reason it feels so vastly different from the rest of the states and in some ways more like a European country in terms of people’s QOL is that they havent had a republican win for ages, soft dems lead to more comfort, which leads to more progressives and shifting of the overton window, and that’s the only path forward
