    I’m sorry to be a downer but, wake me up when something comes of it. I don’t think the Nazis were defeated last time with peaceful protest.

          Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your preferred mode of sitting on your ass and doing nothing.

          Justification:

          I don’t live in the States.

          Result:

          sitting on your ass and doing nothing [while complaining online about how other people are not doing enough]

      What is the point of posting that then? Are you being paid to suppress opposition to the regime by by fomenting hopelessness or apathy, or is trying to discourage people during a time of crisis in their country just for your own amusement or ego-stroking.

      Things lead to more things, and it starts with people coming together, organizing, and protesting. The Trump+Christian Nationalist regime wants us to shut up and sit down, to nip any resistance in the bud. You’re helping them.

        Sure, I’m trying to get people to shut up and sit down with the strong implication in my original comment that more action is required to fix a fascist regime.

        If you guys want to take action and fight, I’ll join you. I’m British-Canadian. I’m always in for a good White House burning.

        If you want to wave stupid signs that change nothing, I’ll point and laugh.

          I’ll just respond by quoting someone from another thread replying to someone like you: “Keep your doomer bullshit to yourself, shut the fuck up, and get out of the way.”
