I mean in America but also possibly worldwide with all the bullshit lately

    I’ve put to rest any hopes that I’ve ever had about Americans ever staging a revolution for the righteousness of the people. It’s clear as day, as to how many millions of Americans that are out there, that openly endorsed fascism to reign supreme. That, the opposition would have more of an uphill battle on their hands than they thought.

    I was hopeful in 2004, but nothing happened. I was hopeful when Occupy Wallstreet was a thing, but nothing happened. I was hopeful in 2020 when retail stores left and right were exploiting their workers and price gouging, but nothing happened. I was hopeful when the Israel-Gaza conflict started, but nothing happened. I was hopeful with January 6th 2021, but nothing happened. I was hopeful a month ago, but nothing happened. There’s many more examples but those were off the top of my head.

    I am fucking tired of it and I’m done hoping.

      I’m there with you, but I’ll addendum. So many people couldn’t be faffed to show up to vote. I keep seeing so much about “rising up” and staging a revolution. If they can’t be bothered to show up to circle in a bubble on a piece of paper, I’m not going to expect them to do fuck all when shit actually hits the fan.
