I jist finished watching Ukraine on Fire.

If the USA would do that… Then I cant even say in good confidence that the USA is even a republic.

If the USA would do that shit anywhere; then how can any of us trust the results of any American election?

    I think you’ve got a point here. A lot of people know all this at some ironic distance, but they haven’t come to terms with the reality of it. Everybody at least passingly knows the details of the things which deeply concern us. The difference between us and them is that we saw them for the REAL. There definitely is a difference between knowing and KNOWING. It the difference between knowing there’s a hungry bear in the woods you’re camping and KNOWING. There is a much more eminent reality to actually getting it.

      Another way to put it. Knowing, realizing, and FINDING OUT.

      And now I sit here… Slightly creeped out about the fact that some of these QAnon wackos have a point.

      And I just had this creeping question in the back of my head when watching this documentary. If the US would do that to a people; then what EXACTLY prevents the US from doing it to their own? Where is the guard rails on this behavior?

      The tail is wagging us.
