Finnish hockey reporter went to see 4 Nations tournament in NA and a cab driver in Boston started to talk about politics to him when he heard that he is from Europe. The driver told that Ukraine shouldnt have started the war and told that Trump will end the war. The Finnish reporter told him that actually Russia started the war and the driver didnt believe him. Cab driver also asked is Finland a NATO member. Yes. ”How did Russia respond?” ”We didn’t ask them”. The reporter questioned americans ability to double check the ”news” that are told to them. He said that driving in that cab was like listening to Fox News or Trump speaking himself.

Revolt? when the country is full of these ”cab drivers”.

I didn't even know Finland joined NATO.

They live in a culture of cowardice. They think violence is a shameful thing. They're taught passivity from birth. Instead of learning to fight honourably, they're taught not to fight at all. Not to yell. Not to argue. Not to protest. Not to kill. It's the morality underpinning their society. It's a mind prison that makes them into obedient servants to the master class.

These are the kind of people that can't even run into each others without going ballistic over a simple greeting and you expect them to enact a revolt LMAO 🤣

Because half of Americans have no idea what's going on, a quarter of them support the coup, and out of the remaining quarter, 99% are burnt out wage slaves that are just one missed shift away from losing everything. We literally can't do anything because we are minority; just rats trapped in a maze.

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 19 points 14 hours ago

That is unfortunately the truth of it.

I'm one of the burned out wage slaves. I like my job, at least, but I'm struggling just to keep my life together, let alone society.

I know that's true for almost anyone who would be part of a resistance, but the learned helplessness is real.

Four out of three Americans don't understand fractions.

We still have too much to lose in a revolt. Most people are still materially comfortable (or at least that hasn't changed because of Trump).

dude there hasnt been a good vote since i've been alive, the cope is annoying, none of these people are strait up winning kings or queens, you'll never hear them even talk that way. They will always be fat lazy pieces of garbage to humiliate us. It's not even a vote, it's a humiliation ritual. It's all over the globe, this degeneration, it's basically like cults took over the world for thier imaginery gods and they fight over them. They never progress.
