Not much scarier than a health crisis in a country where healthcare costs have been known to ruin lives. Interesting, seeing as fear has been historically used to influence populations. Same vein as uncertain financial futures, they tend to terrify people.

Why must we be inundated with terrifying outcomes everywhere we turn? Friends and loved ones being snatched off the streets. Making it bureaucratically difficult for certain populations to gather documents needed to leave the country.

Where does it end? Civil war? War with NATO? What fate are we being shuffled towards? One that the history books, under the piercing light of hindsight, will no doubt refer to as, "Regrettable." Or worse still, "Avoidable."

The comments in this thread remind me of something, I forget the original medium, but it was about fairy tales.

Paraphrasing, it spoke about how people passed along fairy tales, not because of our belief in dragons existing, but to reassure us that dragons can be defeated.

Also I recommend everyone watch, or rewatch, V for Vendetta. Many may suggest reading it, which is absolutely as valid. However, as a fan of movies, Hugo Weaving's performance is in a league of it's own.

They'll beat the drums of nationalism, and try to guilt you. If you flee now, the hundreds of years of oppression will have been in vain. You dare turn your back on the failed revolutions of MLK? Malcolm X? Coward, they'll say. But I say fuck that noise. You owe them nothing. Get out, before it gets worse. You owe it to you and yours to try and find happiness, if you can.

Edit: This is my 666th comment. I meant to drop it in a christian thread, but I thought I had at least one more. Oh well.

It's fertilizer for my asparagus garden.

Nazi child of apartheid encourages elevated racial tensions, more at 11.

This dude's ability to keep everyone on their toes is unprecidented.

Chaotic neutral, at the helm of an empire. This has to be a social experiement. If you'll excuse the conjecture, I'm going to give my best guess as to what is really going on.

There's gotta be an octopus in a tank with mutliple colored balls. When the octopus is allowed to pick a ball, it determines which politcal terminology choice wheel of corrosponding color is spun, and a dart is thrown. Once enough words are strung together, they hand the document to the cast and crew of Impractical Jokers, who are talking to Trump with an earpiece.

B-but my exceptionalism!

Yes, and it's a conscious decision. I'll ask you not to interrogate, as I get enough shit from my step dad about it already.

He's teaching the world to be no longer reliant on the US. We're watching the dismantling of a super power.

Will these deportations ever cease?

He's just helping the ukrainian war effort and their manning issues.

I'm gunna say no, if Roe v. Wade is any indication of the democrat's ability to stand up for a cause.

It's just another carrot to lead desperate people to the voting booth. Are they just going to filibuster, or can they bring themselves to organize protests?

Don't be surprised when Lucy is mocking you for being on your back again.

Among a great many other infractions, I'm sure. Real or otherwise. In times like this, I try to remind myself just how many times a genocide was legal.

Feel the heat of their torches, the bitter sting of the pitchfork, the sharp snap of a rope that has run it's length.

A panicked captain, ordering her guns to sound, in a desperate attempt to establish dominance. Who could be surprised when a retort came across her bow?

A believe the term is proclamation.
