Yeah there’s not much jovial energy to go around either. Any time I see misinformation today I don’t go April Fools, I just try to ignore it and move on.

The Freedom Convoy had Russian money funding its media campaign.

The problem for leftist organizing always really comes back to the fact that capitalists are the ones in power, and that they overwhelming prefer fascism to a social democracy. There’s no billionaires funneling money into 50501’s pockets to organize a mass turnout. It’s the same reason the Tea Party was so successful while similar attempts on the left were not; their primary campaigns were well funded by the Koch bros.

Really love the idea of telling my own mother that there’s an intruder in my home, and her response being, “K.”

Man it’d be really cool to shoot a black and white film on location at the moon.

In the U.S.? Yes, absolutely.

I dunno if prefer is the right word. It’s more like, people don’t know that an alternative way of thinking exists, so they don’t even know if they dislike conformity. There definitely are people who naturally prefer conformity and will do so even if the option to be independent is available, but I don’t think that’s the majority.

Your boyfriend is right. Unless one of you has an in-demand technical degree or a lot of money, immigration to Western countries is going to be out of reach. That leaves you with weakened economies which are either already authoritarian, or trending authoritarian. Even if you could get to a place like Europe, far-right parties emboldened by their new U.S. support are rising in popularity and receiving centrist support in places like France and Germany.

There is no green field to relax in while the rest of the world collapses. You’ll have to fight to prevent the slide to fascism wherever you go.

Hey bud? Octupi are developed enough to maintain neighborhood communities, and they managed to avoid inventing money, taxes, and HoAs. They’re also not actively destroying the planet.

Let’s not pretend like anything we are doing has an inherent good to it. Animal societies looking different to ours doesn’t make them inferior to ours. What humanity has wrought is nothing to brag about.
