Oh really .

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.

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

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

Unfortunately the world often does the fucking around part for you, and you're stuck finding out with them. Sincerely a Remainer being forced to find out on Brexit.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

Boy, what a reversal we have now. Around when Brexit finally happened, the US kicked Trump out of office. It felt like we were going in the right direction and the UK wasn't. Now the UK has put Labour back in power while we're going all-in on fascism. Fuck. We should have just stuck with the monarchy.

Don't worry - I'm sure in a few years time when our next election comes up, our population will have forgotten about the previous decade of getting fucked by the Tories, and immediately put them, Reform-UK, or some other alt-right party into power for round 2 just like you guys

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Probably. The apple doesn't seem to have fallen far from the tree.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear, now the US is installing a new monarchy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

No, not like that!

Finding out is universal, fucking around is optional.
