yeah pretty much. Eventually somethings gotta give, but its a matter of if we live to see it or not. I don't think it will for me, but that's what Lenin said in January 1917 so, you know. Never know!

Oh, and people won't hang out outside much in most places for much of the year, we'll all collectively shelter indoors, as discomfort from heat becomes common and people start adapting to constant dangerous heatwaves
The idea is that with true democratic accountability, people would only need to intervene if the people they elected to do those jobs are doing a bad job. It’s an incredibly robust and layered system that heavily favors the people who choose, not the people who are chosen

You do realize Ukraine is using those cluster bombs on their own territory right?
For the next 30 years Ukrainian children will have their arms blown off playing catch with friends in the park, and you’re cheering
“Defending their territory”
You’re a gutless bloodthirsty pearl clutcher
