it is a total illusion that your vote has any influence

whatever position you have, is already counted

it's only when you can be persuaded to change sides that you matter to the politicians

the noose will just continue to get tighter, if karamela wins this time, maybe you won't have your CBD in your town burn down but half of the shops will close due to being bankrupted by new taxes and regulations

if trumpy wins, the armies of masked hooligans will be unleashed to burn down these businesses anyway

either way, you lose

I mistakenly thought we were having a reality-based crisis intellectual exchange but now you’ve said something insane and I have no idea what you’re talking about. Good bye.

at some point if people are gonna let themselves get funneled into the slaughterhouse corridor you gotta just let go of it and get on with your own survival, and that of your family

i hear people talk about teh idea of "standing your ground" but this is utterly ignorant of the historical facts - that ground gets stolen by organised gangs and very often lives are lost pointlessly trying to defend it when the rest of the world is not as violent as the situation on the ground under your feet

for most of the USA i'm not saying leave, just move away from the cities

sure, many country towns are plagued by drunks and drug addicts but the dangers from organised political action decline exponentially in the absence of population full of dupes to coerce, or make sullen and resigned, to attack the political enemies, which are basically the productive people

the whole game is sickening, and participating in politics is condoning it
