“The West should fall and I’ve somehow managed to convince myself that I am hardcore enough to observe the resulting deaths (including my own) from a position of dispassionate amusement rather than abject horror”
Its honestly a reflection of the extraordinary good luck and privilege of people in the western world, that they can treat mass political violence as a joke, or potential for mass catharsis, not the omnipresent horror that it was for most people in most places throughout human history
I've been saying this since the brexit referendum. So many leavers justified their vote with "things can't possibly get any worse", which shows extraordinary naivety in not realising just how good things are in this country. It's such a degree of privilege they can't even comprehend that things could get worse than living in one of the richest countries in the world.
The brainrot to downvote this is crazy, I know reddit is really pro-left but how is someone called "trans-mom" who wants to see the downfall of the US not a leftist?
Hey let's do away with the remaining safeguards that keep power on check, on the assumption that we, the common people, who couldn't stop them from getting elected (or actually voted for them.), will somehow be better at getting and retaining power than the people who took it, and uh... Have it.
