I read another book along similar lines called If We Burn, which was a broader look at the 2010s protest movements that sprung up from online activism. What I took away from it is that most of that activism was hollow and didn't have a political vision or party program, it was just the masses shouting "No!" at their shitty governments. It was also easily put down once people in power got used to it.

Empires can not be improved, they can only collapse or be destroyed.

I'm trans in a red state. I am not safe.

I just recognize that the US is a blight and must be destroyed, and that one candidate is more likely to result in the US's defeat.

That's more of a silver lining, though.

He could also destroy the US, which would be a dramatic improvement for the rest of the world.

It's not just "other people" that make those experiences bad.

It's specific people.
