  • “Thank you for proving my point. I don’t actually engage with my community, and that makes me more politically effective than you for some reason. That’s why the city won’t do shit, because they aren’t serving you. They don’t serve me either, but I don’t do anything to press them to, so I don’t act, which is obviously the better position. Yes, actually, I am ver y smart and politically effective.”





  • Fair enough. Idk why someone downvoted you; I shitpost all the time, you’re good. Although, good luck to anyone wanting to emigrate, lol. Even if it was financially feasible, I truly wonder how welcome we’ll be if America keeps down this fascist route. I’d imagine the Germans that left in '33 were a bit more well liked than the ones who left in '46, though 😂



  • I mean its less us-pilled and more us-locked. If I could snap my fingers and make every city over 500 people walkable, mix-zoned, and locally owned, I would in a heartbeat. But no one built any cities that way outside of the east coast, and even if all the capital in the US was used responsibly, fixing us would be a century-long project. Now show me one politically effective American capable of seeing past tomorrow; I’ll wait.


  • You’re right, but it’s worse. That sentiment isn’t just why our cohort votes right - it’s why our cohort is unwilling to change the status quo. It’s scary, when you have a kid and rent and a partner and aging parents and just a fuckton on your plate, and even if your morals are all in the right place you have to choose between even protesting, potentially being jailed or worse, or just biding time to vote. And that’s ignoring even any actual radical expression. Revolution is a young man’s game.
