It really is insane to me that in all the world there’s only been one guy (Luigi, allegedly) bold enough to do something about this absurd level of inequality. Think about how many people get murdered for such petty reasons every day, and yet we all look at a few dozen people sitting on literal mountains of cash while thousands of people starve to death and all we do is shrug or wag a finger. Statistically you would expect at least a handful of people to have the right combination of fury and lack of self preservation instincts to take a shot at them and yet here we are. What a wild place to live this planet is.

Why is everyone slow playing everything with this clown show? They were legally required to release all the files two weeks ago. Where are the consequences for refusing to comply with a court order? Why bother issuing orders at all if compliance is optional?

After all you’ve witnessed, you still think a good book is all it takes to reach these people? That’s wild.

Sounds like a pretty solid representation of Florida to me. What’s the problem?

Why would you want a constitutional convention? Ratification of a constitutional amendment requires acceptance by 75% of state legislatures. 60% of state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, which as I’m sure you know is the party causing the vast majority of the problems you are referring to. Nothing good would come from that unless you are the type who wants to enshrine anti-DEI bullshit in the constitution.

Wake the fuck up people. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Nothing meaningful will change until that statement is more true than it is now. The reality is that most of us are still comfortable enough to not want to risk what we’ve got.

It should be clear by now no one will hold him accountable for anything he’s done

Clearly they are as long as they’re also rich.

If evil men are making a list of enemies you should hope to make it to the top

Except that 50% of those polled do support them, which is higher than the percentage who don’t according to this same poll.

Russia can’t even handle Ukraine. What are they going to do against the rest of NATO, even without the US?

You’re not wrong but that message needs to come from the leaders of the EU. The fact that it isn’t says as much about your leaders as what you’re saying does about the US.

But will they?

I keep seeing this idea float around that there is some perfect organizational method to government that will prevent corruption. I don’t think that’s possible. All forms of government rely on the people involved acting in good faith. At the end of the day there are only two things that keep any governmental system functioning as intended:

1. the internal moral judgment of government officials (for those that have morals)
2. fear of consequences (for those that have no morals)

Clearly the US is currently dealing with those who have no morals, which means the primary problem is that they do not fear consequences. It is incumbent on the citizens to ensure #2 is in place, in the absence of #1. The US is failing miserably in that respect.

I’m not an expert but I have a decent set up going. If you think it would be helpful shoot me a DM and I’ll find a way to show you what I’ve got set up and give any tips I can. It sounds like I started in a similar position to you and I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned so far.

Edit: anyone else reading this is welcome to do the same.

I’ve watched it twice and didn’t hear him say anything. When was this?

If they do they sure have a funny way of expressing their desire.

You can’t solve the problem on your own and that’s the point. Instead of just driving past those protesters go join them. Invite others to go with you. Start a new organization of some kind in your community or volunteer with an existing one. Do whatever is in your power to do.

Victory over fascism is not something that can be bought from Amazon. It requires active participation. The action is less important than the participation. Just pick something and do that until you find something better.

Why are you phrasing this as if it hasn’t already come out that he’s a child rapist? It seems to me that we’ve known that for years
