bloodless option, bless. manifest it or pray for it I guess
I'm no historian but I can't think of any dictatorial regime that went away because they were asked nicely, and most of the blood on the ground is that of the commoners. I'm resigned to it; @chriswarcraft.bsky.social has it right imho
Maybe, maybe not. We're not Yugoslavia, but idk if that makes it better or worse
Option five is a bloody massacre of unarmed protestors at a demonstration in DC with video from 50+ feeds slaps the apolitical Americans like Kent State on steroids. Far fewer dead ppl overall
If you're looking for a
Option four is different states/regions go their separate ways. Fifty Nifty United States is maybe an idea whose time has passed.

"liberty over tyranny" is pretty ironic, I'm sure they were laughing about it
reading that, I have all the usual anger, but a little something extra because. Viktor. Orbán.
Gods I loathe that guy. Perfectly placed Russian asset to absolutely fuck with the rest of Europe. He's definitely in the top four world leaders whose demise I would celebrate.
absolutely fucking horrifying, but no longer even a tiny bit surprising
the Epstein Class is not an illusion
Republican, former coach
Makes me wonder how many kids he molested back in the day
Gods at least you DO take the time. Verifying and curating your sources should be the very least a netizen does when they interact with the deluge of information.
But it kinda seems people like you are outliers, even on Bluesky
Obsessed with Shiny New Thing, just like the capitalist system wanted us to be.
Because post-scarcity satisfaction, freedom to be creative no matter what your background is, without having to earn a life... it's bad for business
Fix THAT
Instead of trying to find ways to keep everyone employed, to make enough money to live in order to contribute to a. capitalist machine, why not get moving towards post-scarcity. We have the technology, we have the GDP, we can get to JM Keynes's 15-hour work week
But we've been trained to consume
They're worried about an ancient school system (based on the British Empire's need to churn out the necessary cogs to keep the machine running) which yeah, fix that. They're worried about the loss of intellectual achievements from the poor and working class. Absolutely legit, fix that.
But
Your statement sounds a bit like "we never had so many ADHD cases back (whenever), it's just a plot by Big Pharma to get kids hooked on drugs"
my grandma, mom, and dad all died from Alzheimers (89-90yrs old). were they test subjects in the creation of the disease?
oh heck Newt started calling us enemies of God back in the 90s
how much beard stubble disqualifies me from being a smooth criminal
or, playing the markets
If the SEC still existed in a meaningful form, they'd investigate
misspelled "passive"
my fifteen year old kid gave up on TikTok because of this, yet lots of adults who consider themselves politically astute are still using it
People still use TikTok? I thought after Oracle/Larry Ellison took over and started blocking anti-ICE content...
hopefully they came prepared to dig up missing kids' unmarked graves
By EU standards, Hungary is no longer a democracy. Even 🇺🇦, despite its sovietic past and the war, is much more democratic today than Hungary. I’m stunned by the EU’s apathy while Hungary, in terms of corruption and rule of law, now looks closer to Serbia
There won't be fair elections in Hungary..
Logically I know 85 is a more than reasonable retirement age. Illogically this is upsetting
a bunch of my mutuals follow "The Leading Report"
If you're one of them, why
science.feedback.org/who-is-behin... I went down a total rabbit hole haha. Anyway, thank you for your critical eye
Boyle handed up what he referred to as a memorandum apparently related to this matter
Judge: this isn't a memorandum
Boyle: sorry I gave you the wrong document
*Billionaire Bootlicker Bill
I had no Idea the Billionaire Bootlicker Bill did anything to help the working class at all
I mean yeah, it gets a lot harder away from the Corridor, a much more drastic time/money commitment. Unpaid days off, travel and lodging expenses, etc
Most of the nation isn't blessed with being able to do something transformative vs performative so anyone reading this who *can* absolutely *should*
