11. A whole lot of Americans are addicted to social media,

porn, drugs (mostly prescribed but a lot of illegal shit too), alcohol, junk food and simply don't care about things like Democracy. They like to be entertained while they're getting off.

What a fucking dump this country has become.

Illiterate, high and blaming the people the corporate/AI media tells them to.

The rest of the Americans who are not on drugs, are educated and understand complex societal problems are few and far between and understandably afraid they'll be killed if they raise hell. By ICE, by druggie neighbors, by the local cops or local MAGA let loose to be the KKK they really are. Except more inclusive: they don't just go after niggers, but homos and feminists and liberals and jews and well of course non-whites of any persuasion.

After what happened in Minneapolis last year, who the hell wants to confront these fascist pigs?
Who wants to risk losing their job in this economic environment?
Who wants to be the first to do something really radical?

You?
