      I’d be a sucker for saying I can’t go full Luigi because I treasure my loved ones more than myself and I am afraid they’d borrow the weight of anything I do before I k-m-s. I’m no person to leave them with that publicity and that responsibility for my actions. With how my hatred flows high, my love and my fear for them is still stronger.

        If we dont stop the billionaires the climate will.kill us while they retreat to their bunkers. You already have nothing to lose, even if it doesnt look like it yet.

          Would you do a breakdown of how I can kill any billionaire in russia having no skills, no info, nothing at all, while they are all hiding in secret bunkers 1k+ miles away?

            Step 1: Walk for days until you find a bunker
            Step 2: Shit in the ventilation, if you can’t cover every vent with your own shit animal shit will work

                I’m gonna be real with you chief. If it comes down to bunker retreat, you won’t be worried about where they are. You’ll be more worried about your nomadic tribe if you survive the fall.

    Remember that no regime, no matter how strong it may appear is ever able to last forever. No democracy, no autocracy, no kingdom has managed to stand the test of time in absolute. Often all it takes is a few dozen people in the correct points to set the dominoes to fall

      Also remember that most (if not all) times a regime falls, the common people suffer. Don’t glorify the decay of a nation, but work to change it for the better.

        I’m not afraid of suffering more if I even can, lmao, but I’m afraid if the fall happens, the power would be captured by the nazis who have overwhelmed even tankies there, and it all would go even worse.

      I was protesting, I’m still exposuring my peers to my ideas, but at times it feels like Pu7in and his regime would outlive me. It doesn’t need to be eternal, it only needs to outlive those who know it’s all wrong and reach the point of our self-destruction as a kind, that is speeded up a lot by this country having the diertiest places in the world like Norilsk.

      Only downside is I don’t care about time immemorial, I’m more interested in time I’m alive and stuck in it.

    Wear it on your chest and fuck them. 100%. never apologize. Make it their problem at every single opportunity and never let anyone forget it.

    Light the Roman candles in your mind’s eye and flick off the entire town. For the next four fuckin years, I’m the kid with the loud exhaust and I’m making everybody deal with it.

    Protests? Yes sir. Shooting right back at fascists the second they say something shitty? You bet. Not giving anyone in my family even a second’s bit of reprieve if they start shit during Christmas? With gusto. Scorched. Earth.

    State as in a country? Or as in a Red State of the USA?

    If the latter, move to a Blue State & Blue City.

    If the former, you’re kinda fucked. Try to move out if you can, or if not, you just have to deal with it like people have done so throughout the history of humankind with absolute-monarchies that used to dominate the world.

      Thanks. And it’s The Motherland, you know which.

      I continue to build my capital to be able to leave, but both the current state and others make leaving harder for obvious reasons. I’m kinda jelly now that my mates used their chance to study in Finland, Spain etc with a chance to get locked into citizenship when they were teens and I missed that opportunity. Now I need to work hard to even stay alive and work twice as hard to move, like it’s told in Alice series by Lewis Carrol. I love this book and despise it for how it’s real.

    There are so many negative emotions and comments here.

    You are in a weak position, so yes that means you have to work harder.

    Elon has money. You don’t have that kind or money to buy influence. so effort and time ; organize, vote, and get out the vote.

    And yes. If needed have a plan. Are you a woman or have one in your life? Order Plan C Do you have family out of state or country? See about moving there.

    And don’t give up. Fight the whole way. And

    Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum!

    I would try to think of ways to support any potential resistance against the oppressors, anything i could get away with without drawing attention or getting into trouble if someone notices. Maybe something that might support someone who is willing to take bigger risks.

    I live in quite decent country myself and even here i feel like i want to do something like that, seeing how world is going to shit and it will eventually reach here too when consequences start properly hitting. I dont want to even think about what i would want to do if i lived in actually repressive country like america. Nowdays i’m balancing between wanting to do good and cheering for the apocalypse. Mostly because i feel i cant do anything so not acting on evil thoughts feels like improvement.

      Too many people rely on me. People I hate are crawling in the well-defenced secret places. I can’t afford to Hotline Miamee everyone of them.

        I hear you. But they keep on relying cause you keep on helping. I know I did the same for twenty five years. But it’s not good for us. Or for them.
