About goddamned time.

“The devil… the prowde spirite… cannot endure to be mocked.”

Thomas Moore

Psychedelics have a counterintuitive tendency of making pre-existing clinical narcissism and sociopathy worse.

The the age old Problem of Evil.

If we could somehow figure out how to cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 90% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

Nobody wants to be the first person to “go there,” and really protest (beyond waving a few cleverly worded signs on the sidewalk). The first person to take protests to the next level (i.e., throwing fists, rolling cars over, occupying government buildings, confronting masked cops during kidnappings, showing up with arms, whatever) gets mowed down rather quickly.

Ineffective, and it gives the current admin the leverage to bring the hammer down quickly, before an opposition can recoup and really organize.

People are waiting for a critical mass, and “the moment,” when they’re assured that everyone else will turn out en masse at the same time to set shit ablaze, French-protester-style. But nobody knows when “that moment” will be, exactly. Or if it’ll ever come. So, who’s gonna go first?

And who wants to go at all? It’s easy to talk a tough talk when you’re young and you don’t have family depending on you for their survival. Then again, those with children also want their kids to have a country to grow up in that resembles the one we grew up in (or, optimally, far better). So, quite a pickle.

Perhaps “the moment” will never come anyway, and we’ll all just whimper our way into Fascism.

This is how life should be.

Fuck no.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after every other option has been exhausted first.

American here. Our boys are nearly draft age. This shit is terrifying.
