call me when people start starving, power utilities stop producing power, and people no longer have water in their taps.
Until then, we're probably fine, rattled, but fine.
OK, but I don't think I'll be able to get a signal at that point.
fair enough, but then you would actually be experiencing what people claim is currently happening, even though practically nothing has changed in day to day life, federally it might be a fucking mess, but you can suffer a lot of harm before things actually start getting bad, especially as a bureaucratic body.
It’s been less than a month, tell me how things are in a year.
that's literally what im saying lmao, it's only been one month, we literally have no time for any significant change to set in, come back in a year, when people are starving and dying (if they are) and tell me then.
I think most of us see the writing on the wall, and are waiting for you to catch up and stop being in denial.
look man, i will be the first to admit that this is going downhill fast when it starts happening, my problem is that it hasnt yet happened, this is all speculative.
Keep speculating and watch other people be right on the money.
you are also welcome to speculate about what's going to happen, however you aren't you're forecasting the future as if you know exactly what's going to happen.
Unlike me, who will admit i'm wrong, and change my message, you won't admit you're wrong, and you'll pivot to the next talking point because it's the only thing that consumes your waking life.
Nah, I’ll be right. I’m very confident.
whatever you say, i'll be right where i was in four year time if i'm correct, and not much will have changed for you. And if i was wrong, and you were right, we will both be dead by then.
Another "I'm personally doing fine, so everything's okay." joker
i mean literally, nothing has happened, sure some things have happened, but my point is, nothing to the scale of "THE US IS FUCKING DISSOLVING INTO ATOMS RIGHT FUCKING NOW"
when the government no longer recognizes my ID, i will believe that claim, but up until then, very little has happened.
In your short comment you went from "literally nothing" to "something" to "very little" has happened. Which is it?
Just because not much has affected you individually doesn't mean that nothing has happened and that other people aren't affected.
Don't let the world descend into chaos before you finally decide to give a damn. By then it's already too late
literally nothing, to "something" and "very little" are not very large swings, especially when taking account of context.
then go post about those things, stop making shit up and lying about the state of the US, post about actually bad things that are happening to actually real people.
unfortunately, i used to care, until i comprehended the sheer stupidity of the general public, unfortunately now my apathy far exceeds any desire for the human race to continue, and i hope for everybody to die a painful death as retribution for their stupidity.
Then I'd hate to see how painful your death is going to be....
Nice to know you're ok with being part of the problem.
that's ok, assuming it actually mobilizes people into doing something about it, instead of me just dying in a cold dark hole where nobody hears about it or cares about it because trump executive order 2134 has passed and it states that "everyone who wears a hate must wear a hat of this specific shade of red"
i'm not part of the problem, i'm part of the result of the problem. You guys all had your chance, and didn't manage it. Don't come crying to me when i die a martyr.
A martyr?? You're not a martyr. You're a fool.
ah see, but that's only what you think, given 300 years time and my manuscripts being dug up by historians and philosophers the tides will inevitably change, as they did for the other greats.
People who are ahead of their time are usually onto something productive, they just haven't quite hit the mark yet, time will inevitably make it work for them however.
