some people look at me in horror if i say i’m skipping dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow, or god forbid, not eating until day after tomorrow-- they absolutely think it’s a “fad” and that i’m going to die immediately if i don’t eat burgers and fries ASAP
i don’t know where you are, but where i live, skipping a meal or two is like… spitting on jesus or something










americans are fucking stupid. look at the countless articles of “american man’s life ruined by trump, still supports trump.” it’s absolutely mind-boggling
i am also skeptical that a critical mass of people will do anything beyond peaceful protesting, and if they do, it’s probably too late. they’re still posting their shit on social media, which, surprise-- everything you post is now indexed and cross referenced by trump’s NSA/FBI/DHS/DOJ/CIA etc.
this is why they want AI, and if/when the AI “bubble” pops, it’ll be your tax dollars bailing them out, just like the banks in 2008. is your face at a protest showing up online? guess what, they’ve got your name and address.
tl;dr: yes. americans are fucking stupid. but worse than that, they lack the willingness to go the molotov route.
