    Guess I’ll give up on everything, not have any kids and shoot myself at age 60,… unironically. I have the gun already.

        Are we beyond the point of protests yet? Our politicians are actively taking affirmative steps to avoid listening to them.

          We have been far past that point for a long while but nobody cares.
          Peaceful weekend protests might make people feel like they’re doing something but are not successful. You have to disrupt the economy for people to notice general strikes massive protests.

        Oh I will, all the way up to age 60. I’m not going to wait quietly for old age. I have lots of time to flick off conservatives.

        But do I actually have any hope at all?

        nope!

          Our problem is apathy. It is much more of us than them.

          If we succeed and still have democracy the laws can be reverted, but as I mentioned the apathy is the biggest problem and the reason how we got where we are.

        That is such a funny fucking joke you made there old buddy old pal. “We got out of them” no we didn’t you fool do you see where we are now?? This has been a build up of events that have happened before. Ignoring that is just plain ignorant and dangerous to the situation at hand, we got here because we never truly “got out of them”.

        By all means fight the good fight and keep your friends, families, and neighbors safe. However, we need to stop placating people with this rhetoric.

      I have given up on the idea of retirement or security/safety in my lifetime a loooong time back. We live in the worst possible type of dystopia, a world where “evil” won long ago, and has had ample time and opportunity to sink its claws into every aspect of our lives, forever.

      And the worst part is that most people won’t even believe it. In fact, almost a majority seem to relish it somehow. Like they want the world to be as terrible as it can possibly be, even for themselves.

      If your mental health is in that kind of state, please get rid of the gun. The world is better with you here, and we need each other the fight that’s coming.

      And if we need guns later, I’m a hobbyist that’s been collecting them for years and I’ve got a TON of them.

        I can’t imagine any 100lb bag of rice being worse off because one grain is missing.

          Grains of rice don’t live, don’t love, don’t build relationships and societies with each other. People do.

          Take your ice cream koan elsewhere.
