      We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.

        Bingo. We’ve been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn’t think we’ll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.

          If the French could do it, we certainly can as well. At least… I hope so.

              We’re past that point. They’ve made their decision already by doing everything they can, including “reinterpreting” existing laws, to prevent us from handling things peacefully.

              Well I’m good with bloodshed.

            Do we? A lot of people have stood on the sidelines and done nothing. They will continue to do nothing under fascism as long as they can live comfortable sedated lives.

              I don’t know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.

      Well, it has been about 90 years since the last time things led up to a world war and societies tend to cycle through stuff over and over again. Now that everyone from that last major conflict is dead it is time for a reboot!

      The Shit Show continues after a 4 year break. The previous season finale was pretty spicy, so I have high expectations for the next episodes. It’s popcorn time agin. 🍿
