    This world is ripe for an uprising against the ruling class and their bootlickers. The problem is getting everyone to agree on what they want.

    I just have a constant pit in my stomach, knowing every day the constant thoughts in my mind egging me into impulsive action may one day lead me to do something that in the end will just be used as “moral” fodder against neighbors and people I care about.

    But truly, when is enough, enough?

      This world? Have you seen the French like every other year? Hungarians?

      It’s mostly americans that just complain online and do nothing. Ice kills people on the street? My boss won’t let me protest. The president steals a few billions? That doesn’t affect me. A new war doubles the price of gas and sends groceries through the roof? Oh, DC is too far away…

        To your last point, The distance from Paris to Moscow is 1500 miles, while the distance from los angeles to NYC is over 2500 miles.

        For the rest, yeah it’s ridiculous, our turnout is not even a 10th of what it should be considering the insanity

          The distance from Mombasa to Bangkok is 4500 miles. Which is equally irrelevant for protesting against literal murder.
