No consequences from the Epstein-class or their puppet politicians, but there could be consequences from people like you and me if we organize a revolution.

Just my opinion but I feel this right here is the real reason they are pushing so hard on AI advancement and online identity verification, along with the general dislike for privacy preserving communication tools (which they'll come for next along with the rest of open source technology). Can't build momentum if they know everything you do.

Sure, so let's start organizing now and make that "if" smaller.

hahah fat chance.

usians are still stuck at "voting for democrats" and "attacking iran is justified"

you'd also have to contend with the fact about a third of the population wants this.

My dude. That's why we have to organize. No one said it would be easy.

then put your money where your mouth is already instead of making excuses.

I get what you mean, and no one hates Americans more than I do on some days.

But this isn't about you or me. If we want a better world for the children that will come after us, the US needs to go. The most assured way of ensuring that happens is Americans causing the empire to implode.

Don't turn them away, especially now when their role is critical

i wouldn't disagree with you if the us was anywhere close.

we have to remember trump and his warmongering doesn't exist in a vacuum, they have expressive popular support.

They don't exist in a vacuum, but war with Iran isn't very popular. The US Empire is more and more divided.

the germans had to be stopped by the ussr, and 1945 is still a long way ahead, through a (possibly nuclear) world war.

I'm aware, though I expect the US Empire to go out with a whimper, rather than a bang.
