I learned early on as a child that you might as well participate in the fucking around because you're just gonna get lumped in with the rest of them when the finding out happens.

I feel like I didn't fuck around enough to help...

If Nato fails and Russia attacks, I'm not going to fight. All those xenophobic extremists nationalists in my country that fell for the Russian propaganda can clean up their own mess they caused.

If Nato fails and Russia attacks

That already happened back in 2022 (arguably all the way back to '08). NATO didn't do shit because it's just the US military wearing a dozen different European baseball caps. And after the US finished scrubbing out of both Iraq and Afghanistan, it didn't have the logistics to launch another Asiatic land war (while keeping China at gunpoint in the Pacific and Iran in check in the Middle East).

American slippage is already apparent across Latin America, Africa, and the South Pacific. Things are only going to get worse for DC going forward.

You would have to be suicidal to stick your neck into that mess, at this stage of the game.

Also there's no opting out if you didn't fucking vote. You can't be complicit in opting out.

With the electoral college and FPTP, even opting in is of dubious benefit.

You should still do it obviously, but it is a rigged system.

Ha ha

Too bad

It's been chosen to fuck around and find out on behalf of our entire society

The innocent, the guilty, doesn't matter. We're all going to find out.

I hope everyone involved in bringing this down on us is happy with themselves. I'm sure most of them will be fine, of course.

Your collective choice as a country is to currently fuck around for four years. You are committed to that. It's not like there's an option like insurrection or

Sometimes we all just have to find out, if there's to be any chance of getting them to stop fucking around. 😐
