one of us just tried to kill the president and it didn’t work very well. He even travelled across the entire country to do it, which is an insurmountable barrier for the 70% of us who can’t afford food, rent, and the doctor.
It should be obvious that adventuring like that wouldn’t accomplish anything productive. In fact, that would only be used to justify more repression and accelerate the slide into fascism. It was an absolutely idiotic act. What should be happening is that people should be unionizing, creating mutual aid networks, and building a militant labour movement akin to what we saw with MAS in Bolivia. You’d think not being able to afford shit would be a reason to start becoming more communal, but I guess rugged individualism is just too deeply ingrained in American DNA.
And yet we still haven’t risen up together to topple the government so I guess we will just keep being shit on for the next…forever.
Americans are the most docile people on this planet.

you gotta aim way lower than that. get five strangers to wear masks indoors in public and check in on them after a month.
right, the US is completely atomized and it’s everyone for themselves
