    You could call it temporary if this was part of a clear plan for a better future. But it isn’t.

    The Trump victory doesn’t lead to anything good. It isn’t ‘temporary’ pain for a long-term fix. It is simply going in the wrong direction, and it won’t turn around by with magic or wishful thinking.

      No one has anything like a plan to fix things. The point is to break everything hard enough that the staunch status quo idiots with their heads in the sand are forced to look up and start doing something. Failing that we’ll have a quick death rather than a long and torturous one.

        So your plan is to fuck everything up in order to motivate ‘status quo idiots’ to do something, so that you don’t have to. Is that about right?

        It seems to me that instead of trying to make things worse, you could instead try to make things better. But I guess activism is much easier when you don’t actually have to do anything yourself.

          To be clear, this isn’t my plan. I’m just relaying the reality of the situation to you. This is what is happening and we have to deal with it.
