I’ve told my solution but you instead want a silver bullet. Everyone wants a silver bullet.

You haven't though, just said some vague phrases and hinted that if everyone else just thought like you the problem would resolve itself.

Know how I know you are completely fucked in the head? You think you can fustrate me more than I am already frustrated with the current state of things. We are rock bottom. There is one way out. If you want to stay in the mouse trap you are going to stay in the mouse trap. Nothing I say or do will lead you out.

We are at rock bottom.

Hahaha, oh no friend it's going to get so much worse.

That's the thing. Where we are on the path, or cycle, of human suffering doesn't matter. You have to break the wheel.

Again that's a nice sounding statement that means nothing.

I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

99% of social media doesn't mean anything, it is people attempting to influence you in the easiest way possible. Sure if 80% slip through the cracks who cares but the 20% represents millions. Turn it off. Build strong bonds with your community and kick anyone to the curb that says things should stay the same.

I think you meant to reply to a different comment or this is all non-sequitors and you're replying to things I didn't say.

I don't need to argue with you. End of story. Stop thinking of me as someone who will be influenced by your words. Start understanding that no matter if the ideas inside your head are brilliant or ill founded they have no impact on the void of social media. Social media isn't for individuals to influence each other. It is for collectives to influence individuals. If you would only look you would realize youre doing the work for them.
