2024.11.29 Planning For The Future
Facing the reality of the rising fascist state of the US is grim.
The petty combative side of me wants to goad all the conservatives - show us, motherfuckers. Make it fucking great. No excuses - you have the presidency, the House and the Senate, and an ideologically groomed Supreme Court - all 3 facets of government. Let's all learn a fucking hard lesson together.
Except the wiser side of me knows that isn't how fascists work. They've whipped up the obviously stupid majority into a hatred and fear soup of misdirection. So when the clearly incompetent president-elect makes broadly distracting histrionic actions - while he strokes his own ego, lines his pockets, and is used as a vehicle to accomplish Project 2025's dystopian goals - causes the country to objectively do worse for the working class, there will be fresh excuses. Fresh and refreshed people to arbitrarily blame.
People to punish. And the moron masses will go along with it.
No, the future plans need to be more concrete than hopelessly wishing for people to be... well, smarter would help, but mostly less fearfully selfish or hatefully small-minded.
Concrete plans include:
- finally get my American citizenship
- become more active in local politics
- become more vocal in meaningful ways about national and global politics
Basically: time to join the Rebel Alliance against the fucking Empire
