I’m not trying to fedpost or any form of illegal-to-say-posting in any form, more just marveling at the entirely lackluster response of the American public to the maddeningly absurd state of American politics.

Of course Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth, but it’s been that way for generations, and at this point I feel like the sheer amount of shit that is allowed to just fly by with full knowledge of the public with little or no cool-zone moments is preposterous. Not to mention the fact that as things continue to get worse, there are more and more people who are desperate and/or unwell, and in such a position as to incite some crazy shit.

Like… at this point, it’s just open knowledge that the government is a cabal of bloated parasitic pedophiles, and it has been so for quite some time now. Not just “they MIGHT be doing some creepy shit”, but rather they definitely, 100%, without any question have been, are, and will continue to do the most abhorrent type of shit anyone can imagine, for their own sick satisfaction and greed. Conversely, the number of people who’ve lost someone to the soul-sucking nightmare that is our healthcare system, or who’ve lost a child or loved one in any of our many shootings, or any number of other reasons to be righteously revolted by this manufactured reality we live in, is surely immense.

While some people are obviously acting out in all the most disgustingly wrong ways (i.e. said shootings), there’s quite a lot of people who know the correct people to blame for our collective misery, who also have nothing left to lose, because they’ve tragically lost it all already.

So… am I just wrong to expect that more cool-zone type shit should be going down by now?

    Idk I think that the incoming health insurance bomb is going to create an army of Luigi’s. That and the rural hospitals and clinics shutting down. I used to work in healthcare and there are a lot of exhausted, scared, families who made it by OK with the ACA- now? They’re fucked. People with MS who won’t be able to get their injections, cancer will go untreated, and people with severe mental illness will lose access to their meds.

    Americans are having trouble responding IMO because there needs to be more organization. There are a lot of listless, confused Americans, who want to push back but don’t know how.

      Isn’t the trouble that Americans in general don’t get healthcare, which means that they wait until the very last second before death to see a doctor / Healthcare provider, and then by the time the insurance company has declined to cover them for the reason of “lol” the person and their family is so broken by the entire ordeal that they just die silently.
