FUCK. just... Idk FUCK. I'm pretty sure we are both on the same side but are equally pissed off from opposite sides of the same problem
We are all experiencing the consequences of a plan laid out long before people were looking close enough to see pawns for the queens.
I think the "so what do we do now" argument is over. We are at triage levels now. Yes protests are necessary. Protests are the immune system that will save us all eventually, but I'm not a leukocyte. I am a platelet. I am the strong back with a broom and a shovel that will clean up when it's over. The survivors are the ones who rebuild.
I 100% agree voting is the way forward but what if things have changed and it takes a couple election cycles to truly recognize the scope of the damage? I think the curt plan for righting the ship isn't working. I worry that it's already too late to vote our way out of this. Russia, North Korea, Syria, Romania vote too. How do we get back what we have lost?
I wish I had the balls to stop work to protest. I'm not allowed to talk too much about my job but I am basically the only person who makes a thing that the majority of the naval fleet pilots use to do their missile jobs. I'm deeply anti establishment but I'm personally knckle deep in the machine.
