    As an African American, those 250 years of building was never for us, so while I’m happy that our unjust systems are crumbling under their own weight of stupidity. I wish it was being properly dismantled brick by brick from the left opposed to knocked over by what appears to be two elderly men with clearly anti social sociopathic and toxic masculinity, driving a triangle shaped truck that struggled to drive up a curb. The wall has just fallen on top of the poor, POC, and LGBTQ+ community. And the capitalist are going to just see the heep of bodies and bricks as a new road to drive over.

      There’s also a more optimistic view: while I appreciate running through life in hard mode, I’d still claim a lot of progress. The situation may suck, but it used to suck more.

      In every dystopian society collapse sci fi, there is more oppression, more bullying and violence against “others”. Be careful what you wish for: things may suck but they can always suck more. I don’t think an apocalypse will give you a break

      Yeah, but even the left or more specifically the Dems are still complicit in the shit show we are seeing now. I really don’t want Trump in office under any circumstances, so I’m not saying to vote for him because Dems are shit too. They are definitely a much lesser shitty side.

      The main issue is people are greedy. This goes back to the beginning of time. This is why history repeats itself. Just look at Rome and what Julius Caesar did. I feel like that is Trump now.

      And then the Senate during that time was the same. Rich goblins leeching on society. This is a fight against the rich and against the people that take way more than what they need. Their bellies are full and yet they keep eating. This is why slavery was a thing and to make themselves feel better they used racism to call people with darker skin color than their own, monsters. People are fucking sick.
