If you are from the US and you criticized people living under authoritarian regimes for not rioting hard enough, this is your time.
You still have it easy. You won't be taken into prison for standing with a piece of blank paper. You won't be beaten with batons and taken into custody for reciting Constitution. Yet. Go ahead before it gets there, and may you never see a true authoritarian horror.
Otherwise, all your words are not worth a dime.
There’s nothing worth rioting for.
Except minority rights (including, but not limited to LGBTQ+, especially T), healthy immigration policy, right to abortion, fair economic policy, environmental policies, and a million other things.
Unions, equality, education, healthcare...
Let me clarify my statement: America is over. There is nothing worth getting hurt over. Most people here seem to want what is to come. I’m planning to cut my losses if it starts coming to fruition and move somewhere more progressive.
That's what happens to many authoritarian shitholes: progressives move and evacuate, loyalists remain. That's how the country gets screwed more and more.
And US is a pretty high-stakes country, so losing that would be very bad.
I will be happy to lay down my life to defend the downtrodden. My 73 year old mom is married to a woman, and I'm terrified of the day they come for her.
Eh, lofty words. Your best bet is to move. This isn’t like the old civil war times. Most people want this, apparently.
I have a 73 year old mom who is married to an amazing woman. I have to stay to protect them.
