the speed at which the US is falling apart is astounding
complete subversion of the organs of government by corporate forces
the almost immediate erasure of anything trans-related
families being ripped apart, people being deported and dehumanized in general
it feels like a prelude to the violence
the tech freak fascists have the reins now
the thiels, musks, and yarvins of the world get to see their vision carried out in amerikkka
the world burns

People have been struggling against barbarity and winning for centuries. We have to look for ways to build solidarity. Then people are going to fight back because they have to.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
This is the time to organize comrade. Do not let doomerism get a hold of you. If you want to change the world, this is the opportunity to offer everyone around you an alternative. I am not talking about lecturing them to believe what you believe; but act in the way you want the rest of the world to act. Find an org and do something to counteract your pessimism. Action is the best way to combat the doom. Let tech freaks have the reins to a moribund and self-destructing government bureacracy. Help build dual power and, if you are tech savvy enough, support, or implement open source alternatives. Families are being ripped apart. Find ways to support them, through dealing with bureaucratic nonsense, translation, resource indexing, etc.

Read Blood in My Eye by George Jackson the united states has been awash in violence for hundreds of years. The targets keep expanding, but we must avoid any pretense that this violence did not exist before, and is somehow new.

GOOD post
The fall of the imperial core is a good thing. The rest of the world is rising because of it.
Don’t get me wrong, I am totally on board with this. Shame it has to be the core imperial boomeranging too close to the sun rather than they simply come to their senses and work together with the global south for world peace as a way to atone.
That’s the point. The system is designed to punish. You’re supposed to be afraid.
They want people to get a taste of what will happen for thinking that they could withhold their votes to defy the system. If you don’t vote for us, we’ll make sure you’ll suffer even worse.
The real question is how many people who sat out of the election will start voting for Democrats again.
are eating right now.it feels like a prelude to the violence
This is the violence. It can escalate, but dehumanizing immigrants and trans people (on top of and extending anti-blackness) is already violence as embodied by ICE raids and deportations, bans on participation and forced detransitioning.
I understand that you would not intend to undermine or disagree with what I just said. I just want to emphasize that violence has already started and has been here.
Does “if America sneezes, the world catches a cold” still apply? Or are we way past that?
Considering the the US is doing nothing to stem the tide of H5N1, this is an apt analogy.
I hadn’t thought of that, but how very (scarily) true.
Germany’s catching the cold right now. Europe in general won’t be far behind. This stuff’s been here, but it’s more mask off than ever.
Breaking stuff is easy. If you’ve ever broken a room down to the studs, that’s the easy part. Large room for error, you’re already breaking things.
Building it back though. That takes a good long while. Requires layering, time, small margin of error.

I don’t think falling apart is right. It’s evolving. Into something less refined but more stochastic
