Only incredibly privileged or naive people are able to view this system as 'flawed'. It works perfectly.
Every system is flawed. Some flaws are within acceptable tolerances. "Acceptable" is a largely subjective measure.
Supporting genocidal actions is not an acceptable tolerance.
It’s a hard line and if you people want to support someone that does something like that, no matter which side or on then we deserve whatever fucking comes to us.
Arm yourselves, and be ready, learn how to grow plants and how to hunt.
Between potatoes and greens and beans. You can survive for a while on a nutritious fucking diet even when shit starts gets scarce.
It’ll be hard, but we will make it.
I’m not even suggesting for prepper shit, just stuff that was common knowledge less than 100 years ago that we forgotten because of the society that we have now.
Hell, I own grow bags that I could hang out in an apartment window and grow stuff 20 feet off the ground with no balcony
Before he went to jump down my throat, I mean, no one really knows where their food comes from anymore or how to throw their own.
I am making no assertions other than that when I talk about the things that society has forgotten because of the way it is now
Yeah, my husband and I have talked about the idea of moving to rural Mexico. Not that things are great in that nation either, but it's a warmer climate where my relatives live with lots of potential for growing food, keeping chickens, drawing fresh water, and being able to survive even if things go down. Maybe even get a group of people together to make it work.
Honestly, I'd not be sorry to see a nation like the US crumble, but I'd feel concerned for the people who would suffer and die as a result.
I don't find a system that provides me with only two choices -- one being a candidate who actively persecutes immigrants and Native people and denies people basic rights like housing and healthcare while sending arms to genocidal regimes, and the other being the same but also wanting to establish a theotratic autocracy -- to fall within the acceptable range. I'd probably not listen to anyone who finds this situation remotely acceptable.
