    The revolution will not be televised.

    OPSEC is a thing.

    Thank you for your concern, but you should probably focus on efforts in your country to move towards this kind of system.

    It doesn’t matter where you are in the world right now, there are efforts being made to bring fascism there.

      Oh yes, that threat is becoming more and more real, but the propaganda is originating from Russia and succeeded in USA, and USA is where it needs to be stopped, because it can still be stopped by democratic means. And because it is the American efforts that are more likely to succeed in EU.
      But we should absolutely do to Russia what they’ve been doing to EU, UK, USA to amputate the west and NATO. But hopefully the sanctions from Ukraine on Russia will be working soon. So the Russian federation will collapse like the Soviet Union did.

      I don’t think The Trump and his gang of trillionaires will succeed in EU, but you are 100% right that we need to be careful.
      But it would be sad if we lose USA entirely to this Russian bullshit, and it’s weird why so many of the richest people in USA are so willing to give up their own country?
      Trump, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Ellis, Zuckerberg are all literally traitors to USA, humanity, democracy and decency.
      I would love to see the American population take them all down.

        From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

        So many people are viewing this crisis from afar as some sort of sardonic entertainment, even cheering for the whole country to go down along with everyone in it, because of what one incredibly loud and rich minority is doing to the country and her neighbors.

        They don’t understand what that would do to a lot of damn good and decent people, and that attitude isn’t helping anything. They don’t understand threats just like this one are testing the fences in their very own backyard, looking for a single weakness to throw all their fundamental institutions into disarray.

        We are still trying to stop this as reasonably as we can. We’re still trying to pressure our remaining sane lawmakers to do the right thing. We’re still pushing back while struggling to pay our friggin bills because, as it turns out, “full-time revolutionary” is a very limited-opportunity career path.

        We’re trying to do this cleverly and safely, because if the excuse to enact “martial law” hits, we’re all in very real danger of state violence where nobody will be able to speak up ever again.

        A lot needs to change, and it needs to change drastically, but just because we aren’t sandbagging at the Capitol doesn’t mean we aren’t fighting.

        Thank you for at least understanding and feeling the loss of what this is doing to very real, very good people. I appreciate you dearly.
