    Pushing from within alone does nothing. Finding a way to band together (in spite of our toxic individualism) and push back does everything. It’s literally the only thing that will work. It’s what we should have been doing all along. It’s what a country does to right itself. And the fact that we can’t seem to or up until this point, haven’t felt the need to do it is why other countries are pissed.

    To add insult to injury, they’ve had loads of 2nd amendment dudebros coming into comment threads every time they have a very rare mass shooting, or police violence, telling them they never should have given up their guns lest they become servile to a rogue government.

      Wait.

      Wait.

      Are you telling me… that… for some kind of big change to actually happen… people would need to… work… together?

      With like, some kind of plan, that… has some kind of specific goal, and a plausible way of actually achieving that goal?

      No no no that can’t be right.

      Society is just this other thing that I am not a part of.

      Society is everyone else; me? I’m different.

      And plans are stupid, because I am just a powerless little smol bean, what can I do?
