Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.

Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

Annexation in whole or part by Russia and China respectively.

Going from an authoritatian police state to another doesn't sound like much of a difference

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago
