    It’s kind of like how Canada has systematically killed indigenous people. I’m sure plenty of people don’t/didn’t like it, but it still happens through systematic neglect and violence of that group. The US was able to utilize systematically racism to a much broader scale, and is now using it to push through fascism.

    I mean, California lost gun rights under a conservative government that wanted to disarm blacks. But the country still thinks that liberals made it happen… Somehow…

    Regardless, it is our country, it is our problem, but it will fuck us all. So any useful advice would be appreciated, rather than just try harder.

      Except when people give advice the answer is usually one of the following:

      1. That wont work in America because America is different™.

      2. You dont understand, people are struggling to make ends meet so it isnt practical.

      The truth is Americans have never been interested in advice from others and sure arent now. You need to act. Literally anything is better than whats happened so far.

      The bottom line is this. If you arent willing to make sacrifices to keep your freedom, you better start accepting your overlords. This has been true throughout human history and will be true for Americans.
