    It’s pointless as enough people are encouraged by influence ops to support the dems to run opposition. And their leadership is doomed to fail. Fuck this country, straight to hell, waiting for the phoenix.

      Phoenixes rise from something burned to ashes. Not from something turned to shit. Sorry.

        Shit does burn after it dries. Or after held in anaerobic conditions it produces methane. So the analogy still kind of works.

        That said, plato catalogued greek republics and noticed a pattern they all followed, and all have since, it’s just a matter of time. A monarch is overthrown and a republic instituted. That republic in time decays through stages of oligarcic repression, although he breaks it down into specific stages, and in time, a true leader emerges, and rallies the people, and lays waste to the oligarchy, and becomes a sort of king again, which in time decays and a republic overthrows them and starts the cycle anew.

        At a point, destroying the oligarchy is worth any cost. We are at that point. The current president is not caesar, but sulla, another stage of oligarchic repression, until a real leader emerges to lay waste to the oligarchy. The time is nigh, and epstein is the key.

          That’s a lot of words and thout put into what is ultimately just hopeful coping.
