Not an accident either. The ruling class figured out long ago that giving the peasents some Resistance Lite™ is enough to satiate them and prevent them from pursuing real resistance. Hell, they'll even actively crush real resistance for you, saving you money.

Also not exclusive to the US. At least Canada is the same, if not every other Western country.

Right, any society will form a government that represents the interests of the ruling class, and under capitalism that's the capital owning class.

Telling others off for this is unfortunately all i can do. Years ago i tried to make an impact and I realised that America simply isnt worth my life. It would be if you guys were actually willing to do anything, but it has been shown time and time again that if i were to try anything, i would literally be the only one to die on that hill. My death would make no impact, id be labelled as a terrorist, and immedietely forgotten as you guys continue to suck off the rich until we all die. If youre not willing to help yourself, im not willing to really help you. So now all i can do is tell you guys how much you suck because its going to make exactly the same amount of impact.

I dont even know who to blame. Your parents? Politicians? I mean politics is one issue but you guys allowed society to become so corrupted that our current politics are being seriously discussed. Like God Damn why did you people not listen when i tried warning you? When everyone tried warning you? And you ARE STILL NOT LISTENING.

See a pedo, deal with a pedo. Until that happens, every single American is a pedo protector and im not giving shit for this country, i hope it burns.

Edit: also, like, i appreciate the upvotes but they are kinda part of the problem. Me and my mentality are part of the problem. Just because i recognise these issues doesnt absolve me of responsibility, im an American too and just as culpable.

You can learn and organize with like-minded people, assuming you're willing and able

Locally there are no like minded people. I talk with anyone who wants to listen, and they all fall into two groups. There are right wingers who are actively malicious, wolves in sheeps clothing. They argue in false faith, deal in falicies, and their atrocious ends justify their atrocious means. Then there are the others.... theyre definitely the better of the two groups, but damn are they fucking stupid. If youre not a right winger, youre a conspiracy theorist who believes every single thing they hear. I start to explain complex issues and they immedietely start nodding like they understand, when I havent even gotten to the issue yet. Theyre god damn sheeple, and the only reason they arent right wingers is because a right winger isnt currently speaking to them. 0 ability to think for themselves, no memory or criticality whatsoever. At least in Oklahoma it legitimately feels like I am the actual only person who isnt a malicious right winger or some christo sheeple.

Do people not realise there is an option to be educated AND not evil?

oh yeah, we really hate how our military murders innocent civilians on the other side of the globe... what's that, you want to criticize the people doing the murdering? Have you not heard of poverty?! They recruit in schools!! No 17-year-old could understand that murdering for money is wrong!!!

But now i know, and knowing is half the battle.

I just won half the entire battle on my own. I thinkthats enough resistance for me today.

the first country

Aren't we forgetting someone:

Literally that black mirror stationary bike episode

The resistance has been commodified

Nobody needs to know I got my resistance at Urban Outfitters
