“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.

    I’m actually starting to enjoy this (edit: not the deportations, the economic shit show). We will all get hurt anyway so why not entertain ourselves by watching the self destruction of the USA. It also gave me a nice title for a track, Apocalypse Euphoria.

      We will not all get hurt equally, and some of us will be too busy running for our lives to just kick back and watch the self destruction

      Also, I don’t know what you think the self destruction of the USA is going to look like, but if you think there’s some magical bottom we’re going to hit and then it will be done and things won’t get any worse you’re sadly mistaken. Things can always get worse.

        Oh don’t worry, I’m one of those in a position where all of this could blow my life in minutes. I’m actually having a fucking nervous breakdown and that’s just my way of coping, since every day seems to get us one step closer to the edge. I didn’t mean the offend people.

          Ah, gotcha, fair enough. I don’t think it’s a helpful thought to be sharing with other people right now, but if it works for you hold on to it. And yeah, the sun shines brighter and the coffee tastes better and everything is little more intense when your life is an ongoing near death experience and you’re living entirely in that moment and not thinking about tomorrow. The problem is that’s something most people can’t keep up for very long, and like there is no good way to raise kids in that mode, but speaking for you personally - become whatever kind of beast you need to to survive.

          Good luck on the track, hope I hear it someday.

        Eventually, this country is going to look like Nazi Germany more than it doesn’t. We’ll be lucky if its only policies like ideology and censorship, but it will almost certainly include incarceration of political enemies, torture, and mass murder. You can just tell by how giddy they are that they can’t wait to do their worst.

        That’s what Russification is: “…and then it got worse.”
