Everybody willingly carries a recording device with sound video and GPS tracking in their pockets at all time. Worrying about any kind of surveillance is pointless if you dont leave your ph9ne at home every day.

I'm saying there's like 4 like minded people and we all already know each other. My mom's retired so she has time to volunteer at the local food pantry. The vast majority of people who come in are chuds who gloat to the volunteers about all the great stuff trumps doing because they know my mom and the other women who volunteer are all liberals.

I'm saying your strategy of not being realistic about how much of an impedance the slack jawwed local contingent is gonna be is flawed.

They're the one holding us back, as has been true for the entirety of this country, and saying it's not their fault that they are like this is a fundamental failure in planning.

It sucks but we've got to accept "if we just help these people improve their lives they'll come around" is literally not true. I live in upstate new york surrounded by people that would either freeze or starve to death in the winter if it weren't for state run organizations. They also all have giant flags on their homes and vehicles making it very clear they want to get rid of those programs because they dont like all the lazy undeserving people taking advantage of the programs that keep them alive.

Kind of hard to build a community with the people with giant "fuck your feelings" flags on the side of their house.

That's what I'm saying, maybe you can't blame people for believing a lie but you can absolutely blame people for being literally antisocial and willfully ignorant.

I'm not going to waste my time and put my friends and family at risk by trying to build a community with people who would call them slurs. Especially because they are, fundamentally, antisocial assholes.

You try to build something with them and then as soon as that "thing" has any value they'll attack you and try to take it from you. That's their idea of a smart strong guy, being completely willing to fuck over and lie to other people. It's why trumps president, and he's still got north of 90% approval with people who voted for him, which makes up about 70% of my community.

As soon as you had more food then they deemed appropriate, which is going to be basically any amount, they'll take that using the guns they've been hoarding in the hopes of having an excuse to shoot me. Kinda hard to focus on food and security with those people.

Frankly I'm getting pretty tired of the response to me getting upset at fascist to be "yea but you gotta understand they've enthusisatically brainwashed themselves because somebody told them it was a trans person's fault their boss fired him and that seemed like a good point to them"

I explain all of that to those unfortunate manipulated victims of capitalism and they call me a slur and say I'm jealous.

You can absolutely blame the people at some point.

If I tell somebody "that guy's an obvious con artist, don't give him money he's going to scam you. Here's examples of him doing exactly that to the last 5 people. Heres my degree showing that i have specifically studied for years to be able to identify scams" And then that person calls me a cuck while handing his money to the scam artist, I'm going to blame the person I correctly and explicitly warned for not listening to me for the 500th time in a row.

And then the anger increases as every single one of the hundreds of people enthusiastically lining up to give the scam artist money has the same conversation with me.

And then a group of 50 of them get together and decide it's my fault because they think I was being condescending as I explained exactly how they are fucking themselves over.

Gen z dudes are a bunch of Tate fan boys who think kanyes new song is hilarious.

The youngest generation is actively more conservative than the generation before for the first time since the boomers.

I gave up on America when Bush got a second term and overall that was the right call.

The fascists have been getting bolder and the "opposition" more feckless and confirmatory the entire time.

But we're also not going to have like a sudden collapse th8ngs will just keep getting worse and worse and people quality of life will continue to decline and as it gets worse people will get more anti social, violent and willfully ignorant.

Rich people and right wingers will be able to murder you in the streets on your way to spend a weeks wages on a days worth of food.

This is kind of how I became a socialist.

Did a mission trip to Nicaragua when I was young, got home and wondered why the country was so fucked up.

"Oh, it's literally entirely America's fault, intentional, and their exact strategy for foreign relations which is just imperialism."
