   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.

   #Oligarchs and #autocrats are those who think they have a right to rule us.

   So, yeah, I'm including in that category performative rich jagoffs like #ElonMusk.

   Those who look at the public as a thing to control, to profit from, to manipulate... those people are the bad guys in our collective narrative.
