    We shall stop being anxious, and start to be outraged. Organize, fight back, even at small scale

      seriously. if your answer is to jump off a building, then fuck you. you were never an ally. you shirked your duty as a human and would have been a liability anyway. cowards are just as bad as the sociopaths they enable.

        The US is so intertwined with global politics and economy (e.g. financial markets, digital services, …) that it’s not just THEIR problem. If they drift further into fashism, oligarchy and right authoritarianism, sooner than later there will be a point where most of the world will be fucked in the short and possibly in the long term.

        We need to fight this fight from our side as well, otherwise we all will go down. Our countries need to start pushing back against it and WE need to push our countries to do so. Write letters, go on protests, vote! Otherwise we might miss our window of opportunity to bring this spiral of destruction to a halt.

          Of course it’s not just their problem, I just find it a little weak sauce for American’s to start motioning slowly towards a thoughts and prays approach.

          They were told what they were going to get plain and simple, voted for it and now sit and watch as their own governmental system falls into decay. It isn’t a question of the rest of the world in years to come but the reaction of a current petridish that could spill into other countries. I hope all the best to all who type on forums, write letters and make signs. Good luck but maybe the pens should be discarded.
