    You can only take any/everything you can for so long before you create people with nothing left to lose

    And yet, they (A majority of voters) also elected some of the richest to be head of government. Trump, Vance (Theil), and Musk; just to name a few. The cognitive dissonance is real.

      Like fuck all of those people, but that’s populism. Crisis breeds crazy populists. Using desperation and fear in a crisis, populists construct bogymen to point a finger at.

    Children being slaughtered at school and the degenerates telling us to just accept it too. The overlords have to learn to accept it when it happens to them in increasing numbers too

    What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up
      like a raisin in the sun?
      Or fester like a sore—
      And then run?
      Does it stink like rotten meat?
      Or crust and sugar over—
      like a syrupy sweet?
    
      Maybe it just sags
      like a heavy load.
    
      Or does it explode?
