The administration is attempting to incapacitate the redistributive and social protective arms of the state, while exploiting its vast bureaucratic powers to silence, threaten, and deport.

    Great read. Too exhausted right now to finish it. These fascists need to meet more resistance so I can sleep at night… It’s real hopeless hours out here, but I guess that’s what they want.

      Yeah that crazy guy yavin.is becoming more correct. It’ll be bloodless revolution if the left let’s it be.

      I’m afraid if you want change were fast gonna have to become confrontational.

        A good hard economic crash can do the same thing, though it’s not really bloodless either. Even if it doesn’t really hurt billionaires, it gets more people upset and changes things.

        I’m afraid it’s going to have to be a really bad and long one to make any meaningful long term change though. Like I might not see the end of it, being in my mid 40s.

        The trouble is it might not get bad enough for change until the boomers really die off, but not until they absorb or eliminate most of social security and Medicare’s funding.

        Also even if the voters wake up and are allowed to change Congress and the president, we’re still stuck with the fuckbag Supreme Court. It needs reforming in parallel with campaign finance, proportional representation, first past the post, and the EC.
