My lungs are 21 years older than I am. My new lungs were put in using a clamshell incision and arching my back… don’t look it up if you’re squeamish, it’s pretty scary looking

I assumed this is what you might consider once confronted not like put “ICE confrontation time” on your calendar

The point is calling their bluff

For a lot of people that say of thinking doesn’t work, they explicitly don’t want to/wont go without, people enjoy luxury and convenience and aren’t going to skate by on only things they strictly need

I’m reading this book called Heartland that actually really deep dives into why so many Americans are ok with this, the fact of the matter is huge parts of the US have been living in abject poverty since basically always and it’s part of their culture to not need much, wanting things is looked down on as weakness, it’s a cultural part of long term poverty for huge swaths of the US, that living a hard life is the only way to live, there’s obviously many layers to this but it’s not a thing you can just think your way out of (because not getting educated is also part of this culture) since culture and identity are so deeply intertwined and you see that culture being actively promoted and spread via “trad culture” which is very much popular, especially with young men, trad is just code for poor

Everything you said is true of the GOP/American Right as well, and they do it the same way, through oligarchy, it’s just a matter of they having more time to ratchet it down where the US is just getting its official start, although it’s been working behind the scenes towards this for decades too

The way Cities Skyline saved this was by making unions and a policy called “smart industry” because it was a real problem

You don’t it will only tighten the brainwashing screws even tighter

I think with social media and how quickly images can get around switching to a less centralized way of protesting, especially something that is so widespread across your culture. It’s not just one specific thing or person can actually be a really beneficial strategy. It’s not just about disrupting the work of law makers and getting on the big three news at night it’s about going viral and the more citiesthat protest the more opportunities you have to make that happen. It’s about making protesting, go viral literally.

Literally the only rational answer. Stop giving a fuck about what people look like unless you’re explicitly looking for someone to fuck
