    I don’t think you understand. Rome burning is the distraction. Shit like this is the real goal. The U.S. will be lucky if it hasn’t collapsed to neo-feudalism in the next four years.

      Alarmism doesn’t help just like energy drinks don’t help. You get a short period of strong agitation followed by a longer period of mild apathy.

      Nothing happens abruptly.

      Also it’s called oligopolized capitalism, or maybe state capitalism, I forgot what Nazi Germany’s economy system was called, but that’d be the right classification.

      However, the ideology is not that of Nazi Germany, not even similar. It’s still a democracy, however shitty it would seem. Maybe, yes, a 4 years long sample of those Confederate States of America some people wanted, but not even the full bouquet of taste.

      In any case, things like this bill could have been seen from 20 years ago. A lot of people just thought it’s not important. Just like it always happens.

      We are sitting discussing things without doing anything, a reminder. You know something to hurt them - you do that. You don’t - why bother?

      EDIT: Admittedly I’m in Russia, so have less incentives to be scared about this and more about one friend.
