      Emphasis on psyop. If you are still in a democracy, even if it’s flawed, even if they are trying to cheat: Remember Orban. Remember Hungary. They did it! Your country can too. They want you without hope. Don’t lose it!

      I feel the same way. Lemmy is a powerlessness echo chamber a lot of the time. Good on ya for pushing back.

      I don’t know if it’s s psyop but your comment was so necessary. I’ve forgotten how many times I’ve thought what you’ve put into words. Keep up the fight.

    I’ve found this thought oddly comforting for the past few years. Taking it as a reminder to enjoy the moment and have a little fun while I still can.

    The cars on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel.  
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides.  
    And a dark wind blows.  
    The government is corrupt,  
    and we’re all on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn.  
    We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine,  
    and the machine is bleeding to death.  
    The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering.  
    And the flags are all dead, at the top of their poles.

    It went like this…

      This is the second time I’ve felt it prudent to link to this song today… seems the spinning 'round the edge of The Abyss™ is especially evident today.
