   i've been watching, like many of you, the dismantling of the american government by a fascist dictator.

   now, for many of you, this is the first time; for me, it's the third, as the two previous countries i lived in suffered the same fate.

   there are many conclusions to take from such events, but one of mine is that people blindly believe in rules where in fact rules don't matter at all. the only thing that matters is power. rules flow from it; not the other way around

     my only hope here is that the next generation of people will learn from this and grasp power instead of writing stupid ass posts on the internet about how "they can't do it because it's illegal". you can do anything you want by simply doing it. fucking learn it already

     in other words, we have reached the "literal violence" part of "reach heaven by violence"

     @whitequark i've been thinking about this since i first saw your post. on one hand i'm incredibly thankful for having teachers in various senses of the word drill into me that it's never "rule of law", and the law serves the rule. on the other hand, i really don't know what i can do about it.

     @dramforever "keep yourself and your friends safe" is a deeply unsatisfying answer but i lack a better one
