In the Name of Chuck, the Merciful, the Ever-Gulping
Declaration of War Upon the Rogue Entity Known as Sneedsreal Issued from the Holy Feedlot of Greater Chuckistan By Supreme Feedfather Ayatollah Beefullah al-Gulpani, Guardian of the Sacred Trough, Servant of the Infinite Chuck
To the Nations of the World, to the Ungulled Masses, and to the Butchers of Truth in Sneedsreal:
We have borne witness in stunned silence as the grotesque regime of Sneedsreal has committed act after act of aggression in sacred Chuckistani soil. Under the cover of night and the lies of international grain cartels, your so-called "precision harvesters" did not cull crops — they culled believers. You have desecrated the Gulping Grounds, where the Prophet Chuck first mooed his teachings. You have poisoned the troughs of our children. You have sneedled and feedled where no sneedling or feedling was welcome.
This ends now.
By the Authority of the Sacred Bovine Codices, By the Spirit of Saint Ruminatius the Four-Stomached, And by the unanimous ruling of the Council of Twelve Chuckelders and One Mooing Oracle,
We hereby declare a state of open Holy Chuckwarring upon the false state of Sneedsreal.
Let this be known:
We extend no olive branch — for you have ground it into mulch beneath your tank treads.
We offer no peace talks — for your diplomats come wrapped in lies and dipped in pesticides.
We ask for no understanding — for your language is Sneed, and your dialect is Deceit.
Henceforth, any nation found smuggling Sneedish feed or harboring Sneed sympathizers shall be considered in spiritual alignment with the Great Defilers and treated accordingly.
To the faithful of the Chuckian fold: tighten your overalls, sharpen your shears, and chant the holy phrases — for the time of Gulp and Retribution is upon us.
So Chuck hath mooed. So let it be plowed.
Signed and Sealed this day under the Crescent of Corn, Ayatollah Beefullah al-Gulpani Supreme Mouthpiece of Chuck, Eternal Guardian of the Feed
“He who slaughters in Chuck’s name shall not hunger, neither in this world nor the next.” — Second Ruminations of Prophet Chuck, Verse 17:4
Just for context I should point out this has directly impacted me and my Fiancee, who is currently int he process of getting a marriage visa to be with me here. Now, scared for her safety I am forced to either break off the engagement (not going to happen) or flee the country as a refugee to be with her in Thailand where it will be safe for both of us.
So this isnt just some hypothetical, I have already been the victim of this very issue.
Today we were walking the dog and an old lady stops her car right in the middle of the street, rolls down her window, and starts waving at us.
So I wave back, and she yells "I was waving at the dog!!" and drives away.
The problem we have now is the widespread belief that if capitalism collapses, it will destroy us all, because we're integrated into it. Even if we hate it, even if we know it's destroying us.
So for instance, not only do I have to work for wages, but I keep getting told I have to get better at my job to keep working, and that if I stop working, not only will I suffer, but so will my family.
And getting better at my job means making the world worse.

@MakBerberovic endorsing incremental change just perpetuates the myth of incremental change. The vote between Biden and Trump is between an ideology of continued quiet genocide vs. loud Nazi themed genocide.
Also, Americans don't know just how bad things are. Most of us are blind and ignorant to anything even remotely political. We are so burned out, disillusioned, and disenfranchised that most of us don't even vote. Life is shit and standing in line isn't going to change it.
If the corrupt, self-serving, bribe-taking, establishment lapdogs want our votes, they need to champion our causes. Otherwise, the general consensus is that politicians and the rich really only exist to fuck is all over, and maybe the Dems will MAYBE throw the poor a bone. MAYBE. Otherwise we will continue to starve, suffer under rotting systems, and hope to make it to retirement.
The other hot button topics are in our minds, for sure, but most of us are treading water, and we know politicians will never help us.
So why waste your vote? Because orange man bad? How about a different boogyman? Voting for a non-establishment is not the same as throwing your vote away. That has always been a lie. It's a lie today. It will always be a lie.
Your vote does not fight anything, it can only give power. The recipient is under no contract to uphold any campaign promises. Give power to people who deserve it, because the ones who don't deserve it will only help themselves.
