It's almost like you have to fight for your rights. The pacifist party is never going to do that, so wave goodbye..

You decide to take action. Please roll for initiative.

rolls 1

You slip and fall on banana peel. You ran out of action points.

And what action would you like to take?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the best time to flip out about fascism is ten years ago. Second best time is today.

Tweet was from last year. It's saying "it's time"

I really appreciate this remark but I think it kind of leaves something out, among the hopeful message.

I think America is actually experiencing the greatest theft of wealth, being transferred AWAY from the middle- and lower- classes, TO the ruling Elite.

I see people dancing up and down on leopards ate my face, just as one random example... But the short-term mockery misses the long-term pain under which we will all suffer.

There are farmers who love Trump who are going to lose their farms, when they are purchased by large conglomerates, after their overseas markets were intentionally destroyed with tariffs. The last thing this world needs is more Monsanto-esque food control.

There are huge swaths of US tourist properties that are going up for fire sale in the next couple years. All of that land is going to be stolen because no one can/will visit. Although tourism is a huge industry, it's still highly competitive and the margins are razor thin. Most tourist destinations will not be able to weather the storm.

Manufacturing, agriculture, travel... like.... I could just make a list of so many lives that businesses that are going to be destroyed. And there's fatcats just waiting to strike and steal what they have built, for pennies on the dollar.

America is in a massive crisis right now. People are so busy focusing on mockery and schadenfreude and identity politics, there's not a lot of talk about what's actually going on in the bigger picture!

All of America's wealth is being stolen. Every citizen is having their generational wealth swindled from under them. Even if there's not a direct loss one could point to, massive inflation has horrendously deflated a century of citizens' wealth building. Families have been set back generations, even if the course is reversed. Reproductive rights are almost gone. Bump more children out with less ability to feed them, more slaves.

It's such a dire situation and people aren't grasping the scope of it. It freaks me the hell out.

Bloomberg Opinion Section: "Total Tunnel Collapse Could be a Sign of Tunnel Instability"

He was fired because that was the plan when Colbert was fired. They literally said he was next.

The mine:

The tweet was from last year.

So they're doing pretty good, all things considered.

The canary is very dead.

Right? We've had a flock of canaries go in and never come out. Let's be frank it's been a long time coming:

• Kimmel
• Noem v Vasquez Perdomo
• DC
• Colbert
• PBS
• NPR
• Roe
• Affirmative action
• Net neutrality
• Citizens United
• The Patriot Act

At some point we gotta stop thinking they will ever come out.

Until then it’s just sparkling authoritarianism.

Someone else made a good point about that on a different thread; they brought up the fact that youtube revenue wouldn't be able to support his staff and writers.

Maybe he could do a show on YouTube, but it would have to be very different and it would still leave a lot of folks jobless.

Google can just as easily be squeezed and threatened by Trump to take-down any youtubers they don't like

It's not that easy though. We are at the conclusion of a decades long campaign to poison not just our government and politics, but our society as well. Take out every fascist tonight, and we still have to contend with the fact that, as a people, we are no longer capable of operating a democracy. Healing the divides and fixing generations of indoctrination takes time we don't have.

I'm not saying there is no hope, but we have to sober about the tasks ahead of us if this country is ever going to heal.
