    Hey Americans this is more than a red flag. This is a dystopian nightmare future and you’re all sleepwalking right into it. WTF is wrong with you all?

      you’re all sleepwalking right into it

      This is what bothers me the most too. Decades of chest-thumping about liberty and freedom, and now this? It’s pathetic, really.

        I mean, we fought a war based on a the premise that all men were created equal, then decided some men were only worth 3/5 of others…

        Its honestly strange to see non US people who have bought the propaganda as much or more than some people in the US.

          I don’t think many of us did, but we at least expected the average American to buy it, and yet it seems they didn’t.

      Hey, I fucking hate this just as much as you do. I’ve voted and participated against these policies at every step of the way, but I am not wealthy or politically powerful, I live in a state where my vote is diluted at the national level (California, one of the states with the highest citizen to representative ratios), and when I try to explain these consequences and dangers, all I get in return is apathy.
