      The government doesn’t care what you want. Politicians only care about themselves, which is why we need to make sure that they’re only safe and happy when we’re safe and happy.

        “we need to make sure that they’re only safe and happy when we’re safe and happy”

        I agree and this reminds me of what happened in Sri Lanka:

        “On July 9, 2022, thousands of protesters stormed the official residence of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo, known as Temple Trees, following months of civil unrest over the nation’s severe economic crisis. Demonstrators broke through police barricades and tear gas, flooding the colonial-era palace, swimming in its pool, and occupying its offices while chanting slogans against the leadership”

        They stormed their politicians house. They had no power in their homes and when they stormed the Presidents place they found they had power and the aircons are all on and all this expensive stuff around the house. It was disgusting to see the president using aircons and spending money on material things when his people are in an economic crisis. It was a breath of fresh air to see people doing something about the incompetence of their leaders. The rest of us need to do the same.

      No shit its fuck up our government is running a website with propaganda games. Beyond the pale the amount of 30% of country will continue to accept.

      My kids have blown anxiety that we all learned the world is run by baby raping pedophiles but we are expecting to continue to go to work and school as if this is all normal. I am just fucking done and wondering when we going revolt. What will it take?
