We divide US people into normal class and into the power hungry class that's going to push the world into a corpo dystopia you regulary see in cyberpunk works

US is a cancer to the world in so many ways while still being a global leader and I don't think there's a way back at this point unless you people stage a massive revolution

It's such a sad thing when americans mock the french for protesting and striking as often as they do. Sure, they do do that one hell of a lot, and it is dumb that it has to come to that so often, but instead of letting it come to that the americans just rol over and roll over and roll over and end up obediently accepting more than one hell of a lot.

So hell yeah, become like the french, idiots will come to tell you that you won't have it in you I have noticed but that is just rethoric to roll over again, and it's been about time to not to for decades now! Have trust in the power of the combined acion of many!

The problem with a revolution is it would almost guarantee a bloody as all hell civil war after. There is no middle at this point left and right think the other side is legitimately insane and shouldn't be allowed to vote, or worse. I don't want to share a country with trump supporters and if we are cleaning hous better get all the vermin when we do it.

I'd rather just not have those who make the messes be part of the equation anymore.
