The worst part is that there’s not enough of an organized opposition to stop it, or even really slow it down. Neither major political party acts in favor of the people; major news outlets and social networking tools are owned by billionaires; a sizeable chunk of the country is perfectly OK with getting ratfucked so long as José next door gets it worse. We aren’t facing the implosion of the USA into a TechnoFascist Hellscape, we’re LIVING IT.
I relate to this so hard. Like, I wasn’t asking you if I could go. I’ve booked it, I’ve given you notice, if you are still blindsided when I’m gone, that’s on you.
