General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1601

This will either work and there's nothing to stop it, or their only problem was starting too early and letting people get mad when they could have ramped up this sabotage more quickly in a few weeks to cause as much damage.

Either way democracy is fragile as fuck and everyday Americans have little to no recourse when fascists want to take power by force.

 

I just find it odd that people are willing to believe that Biden/the Dems in power will fight for his platform after he is elected, when they won’t even actually fight for the post office in any way beyond tweeting, when it will impact the presidential election and primaries. Like they put out the least amount of effort needed.

It’s not like this is something that came out of nowhere that they couldn’t have strategized for. We’ve been talking about it in here for years.

Idk I just have zero percent hope in leadership guiding the members at this point. Feel free to totally ignore my ranting lol.

 

Yeah I didn’t fall asleep until about 3am because of how awful this is. Fuck anxiety.

 

Man, the amount of #Savethechildren posts I'm seeing the last few days is crazy. This Qanon shit is getting big and people don't even know these posts are related to that stupid shit.

 

I think we are entering the “Great Fear” period in American collapse. The hysteria around “pedophiles being everywhere” feels like a psychological phenomenon.

 

I'm seeing a bunch of people posting this on FB or something similar it gets me so angry

 

Same. It’s everyone on my feed.

 

they are, but not in the way the hysteria suggests.

 

Yupppp this one is flying around like crazy on mine too. Same people doing the #savethechildren

Thing that pisses me off is that these folks posting this fucking hashtag aren't doing shit to even save children except posting this stupid fucking hashtag. Go save the children who can't fucking eat or the ones being abused by their family.

 

imo if you're concerned about trafficking you must know that the most marginalized individuals like runaways are vulnerable so they should be fighting on improving material conditions but noooooo

 

Qanon is the next republican tea party, just watch. Already seeing Q candidates being embraced and not called out for their bullshit by them. Have to keep spinning the narrative to keep the grasp on your dying and shrinking voter base.

 

Then if you say there is no outrage because the killer was arrested, they reply with “oh so it’s fine for people to go around shooting people in the head?”

And you are left speechless because that is the dumbest thing you’ve ever fuckin heard and not remotely related to what you said

 

I hate this shit. Clearly there's no national outcry because they arrested and charged the dude promptly and he's being held without bond. Completely separate situations

 

Yup that's the one that ended it with me and my best friend from high school. Her only rebuttal for me trying to explain to her the difference was that I was too busy in college reading books to live in the real world. After explaining systemic racism and that BLM is not about justice for one man, she said black people should get out of the system if it's so bad. Once again she has a black daughter. Feels freeing to be rid of that connection thought. Donating to BLM organizations in her name today.

 

I keep seeing posts on FB about how masks on kids will make them easier to abduct.

 

Yep I have seen that shit too.

 

Saw that one too, they tied it in with a girl who was abducted and her abductors used a hijab to conceal her. I can't remember who the girl was but it was a famous case.

 

Can we ban FB instead of Tik Tok?

 

Yeah seriously thinking about deleting my FB. Its full of garbage memes and nothing productive.

 

probably Elizabeth Smart

 

That was it, thank you. Could not remember for the life of me.

 

I suggest everyone do it, it's liberating. I stopped using it like 5 years ago but would check people's birthdays occasionally. Finally brought myself to delete it completely a few weeks ago, I think my 30 day waiting period is almost up. They let you download all your data, posts, pictures, videos, etc. before in case you are worried about losing that stuff.
