      I’m doing the best I can, my dude. There’s only so much I can do when the entire system is working against us at every turn. Even the politicians that were supposed to be on our side are a bunch of pussies that have no moral compass as long as they get paid. I’m going to protests and I’m trying to keep my friends and family informed (even my MAGA dad) but there’s only so much I can do.

      And yeah, I’m horrified. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since October. I’m basically starting to doomsday prep at this point.

      We need help from the rest of the world and right now only Canada and Brazil have shown any spine whatsoever. When all the world governments accepts this BS too, we’re all fucked. Tell your government to boycott the US. No trade, no tech, no exceptions.

      WE ARE TRAPPED IN A COUNTRY THAT IS DRIVING ITSELF AND NOTHING CAN STOP IT BUT CRASHING THE WHOLE DAMN THING.

      Sorry, but there is nothing we can do but wait this out or take up arms, at which point this will all be made worse because the people trying to do good will be the ones framed as the villains which will give the whole establishment further fuel for their sheep minded constituents. What the fuck are you doing except making victims feel worse?

      I’m stocking up on ammo for the forthcoming culture war, but I wish people here would wake up to it being a class war.

      Granted I am also making Plan B and C to leave the country inside of a year or so…if I even can at that point.

    PragerU is a dangerous joke, a barely even veiled propaganda machine pretending to be educational, a privately owned partisan conservative history white washing lie generator with an entire wing aimed at indoctrination of children. It should be ridiculed and sued out of existence for myriad cases of libel, but here we are on the worst timeline propping it up over public broadcasting that has been actually educating kids for generations. Fuck me.

            I’m not saying stop saying it. I’m saying stop spamming it in huge letters in a relatively small forum like Lemmy. I’m fine with the message for now, but people have to consider the side effects that spamming it has on others.

            Like, we just had a thread of people disliking celebrities for the simple fact that they were too visible in the media. Did we not learn a lesson from that one?

          I disagree. I don’t see the harm in demanding accountability from our politicians a little louder.

          RELEASE THE FILES

            You don’t see the harm in preaching to the choir to the point of being obnoxious? The downvotes are starting to increase. You’re burning through people’s good grace and patience real quick… unless that’s your end goal.

              I thought the point of thread based comments is you can go completely off topic on one thread without effecting others. Don’t like it? There’s like a dozen other threads on the post to read. Many Lemmy frontends will let you collapse a thread if it’s bothering you.

              Now that I’m thinking about it, maybe I’ll make keyword filters auto collapse comment threads in my Lemmy frontend I’m building.

                thread without effecting others

                What part of spamming in a huge font is not affecting other people’s browsing experience? Do you see the downvotes? Whether you like it or not, there’s etiquette.

                But maybe you’re right, let me block you right now instead of listening to you defend the absurd.
