    his latest move could kill us all

    This phrase could literally have been said at any point during Trump’s current term, and it will continue to be true for the rest of his term. Trump is regularly doing things that could kill us all.

      I honestly think that just the damage that’s been done to climate change initiatives might be enough. We had a ton of steam going in to 2025, and this year has set us back by decades. I’m afraid that having such a prominent producer of GHG and pollution pull away so sharply will have knock on effects to other countries. After all, if the US doesn’t play ball, why should a smaller industrial country try to be cleaner?

      Hopefully there’s still willpower and (more importantly) time to fix our shit before people start dying en masse. I kind of have my doubts at this point though. I’m pretty sure we will only start to truly prioritize it once it has a large impact on daily life, and that point will be far too late.

    We elected an imbecile

    You’re only just figuring that out now?

    It’s like saying your house may have caught fire while standing in front of the building engulfed in flames.

    Honestly? At this point I’d be OK with it, if it just happens fast (there’s a your mom joke in there, but I can’t be arsed)

    Death doesn’t seem so bad as an American living in a psychological manipulated fake dystopian freedom hellscape.

    It’s clear now nobody is going to actually fight back. Give me a quick death and I’m good.

    It’s clear people don’t understand modern war and geopolitics. Like 4th and 5th generation warfare. Humanity already lost.

    Humanity just funded and gave it all away. We are to blame because we gave them so much power instead of owning up to our own human life experience. Now look at them scrambling around STILL giving power to the manipulative psychological entertainment and politics. There is not hope if people still have their foot in that criminally evil and compromised lifestyle. No one takes ownership of their life, they outsource and pay for protection. How did they actually think this wouldn’t be the result? It’s hard to admit but the result is to be expected for their lifestyles of arrogance and ignorance. It sounds harsh… And I know we are all manipulated from birth to fall down this path, and we didn’t really have a chance… But we really didn’t have to keep denying the truth of the situation and live with this Stockholm syndrome. Not many people have the courage to understand and see existence for what it really is.

    It’s sad. If there was a genuine army or military I’d join it, but it really seems humanity is compromised by something dark and trust cannot be placed into any organization, subculture, entity…

    The only way out seems to be if there was majority cultural/spiritual/lifestyle shift away from life as we have come to know it. And a new foundation was built on true ideas that correlate with the essence of the universe and not simply the ego of humans.
