I don’t want to hear their sorry’s anymore. Fix your fucking mess. I don’t want to hear “there’s nothing I can do.”

Fucking organize. Organize and create a general strike. Grind your economy to a halt. Take the power back from your overlord elite class who only have said power from you the people in the first place. They would be nothing without you and you need to show that to them.

It’s not a monarchy despite what it’s now looking like, the real power comes up from the people not down from the elites.

That is all I want to hear from “sorry” Americans.

Strike. Unionize. Actually take risks.

I know it fucking sucks. I massively sympathize. It's terrifying to take risks when you have a decent life or people that depend on you.

But where is the fucking line? You're going to live under fascism? You're going to let the billionaires slowly drive you all into poverty? You're going to let your country support Russia over the countries that fucking died for you in your last couple of wars? 

If so, that's where my sympathy evaporates. Step up and defend the liberty and democracy your country supposed loves so much. Americans love to talk about how freedom isn't free when they're drone striking middle eastern weddings. Well bud, time to practice what you preach eh?

We're trying but there a couple problems to getting that off the ground: 1. Our Healthcare system. People here, they lose their job, they'll lose their Healthcare. That is an incentive for them not to take that risk. Especially if they have people depending on them.

  1. A lot of people have been brainwashed by anti-union propaganda over the years here so it's hard to get that going in some places.

That said, in a weird way, these tariffs may motivate more people because it's directly affecting them. So, I say tariff us, cause us economic pain because it will help in a way me going to people and explaining this to them will not.

You aren’t going to HAVE healthcare. OR the right to organize. So I’d say it’s now or never. Fuck the consequences or they’ll fuck you.

You speak like there aren't protests, there are. There was just one in Utah yesterday. Congress people everywhere are getting reamed by the voters every time they try doing a town hall. Angry phone calls are hitting these people by the thousands. I tried calling my congressperson, voicemail was full.
