Edit: as Snot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone reminded me, this is not a single-country issue, and never has been. Thank you for the reminder.
So when is it going to be time to be like Kira and Shaxs instead?

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Venezuela, right?
Seriously though I know living under a new Nazi regime with tons of money and weaponry is distressing, the USA has made life in other countries a living hell for decades upon decades now, especially in South America. It's hard to feel that sorry for myself, despite all my rage.
Also, not trying to minimize your distress, especially if you are any kind of racial minority, lgbtq+, a woman, or disabled.
That is a great reminder of broader context. Seriously, thank you.
And thank you for being receptive to it.
especially in South America
Even though their acts in South America affect me personally, I think Middle East people disagrees with that assessment.
Buckle up. You guys are about to know what it truly means to live under an authoritarian state.
🥂 To coping
"Twenty-first century history is not one of my strong points. Too depressing."
Ds9 ftw!
Seriously, I broke my sobriety streak two days ago. This really sucks.
I believe these two encapsulate my feelings better
Especially O'Brien, continual suffering just to punch in for the next shift
It's been a hell of a year, huh.
Started in openly in 2000 with Bush era TSA, but hidden shit seems go further back
Its maddening, but at least being inside the human crushing machine gives us access to the gears.
Sudan?
They aren’t going away peacefully.
Nobody is going to ride in and save us.
Start getting ready to take our country back.
