If americans could learn we wouldn't have a 2nd trump presidency. We're on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.
I just saw a play that has a plot point about how someone gets robbed by some racist, well connected shits, and the police won't do anything to help. The closest he gets to justice is vigilantism, where he hunts down and shoots 3 of his assailants dead. Only then does anyone start to listen to him, but when he agrees to talk peacefully they shoot him dead.
I'm not sure "the only way you'll get justice is with your own bloody hands" was the author's intent, but that seems to be the message.

Some people are very fragile and have poor emotional regulation. When they see other people doing good, it makes them feel bad, so they lash out.
Environmentalism, biking, veganism, all commonly evoke this behavior.
Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?
No. Voting in big elections is not the only action you take. This is a conflict with multiple fronts. You need to organize, talk to people, use every option.
Just abandoning the electoral front in this conflict is stupid
The car is already skidding on the ice. Saying "we should have taken the subway" is not useful at that point in time.
Every jury I've been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I've only been on two, so it's a small sample size.
DND is a weird mix of too many rules and not enough rules.
I switched to Linux a year or two ago. Pretty much every game I've played has worked fine. (Elden ring, guild wars 2, nioh2, pillars of eternity...)
Even non-steam stuff was basically click and go with Heroic launcher

I've never paid a subscription for YouTube. It's been, what, like $10/mo for ten years? Can buy a lot of media drm free for that $1200.
