      You decide to take action. Please roll for initiative.

      rolls 1

      You slip and fall on banana peel. You ran out of action points.

        What a strange mix of RPG tropes. I get what you meant but that’s like when you see “hacking” on tv.

          I’ll be honest. I never played DND and only know it from memes. I was trying to make a funny. 😔

          Edit: the rpg part probably stems from Baldur Gate 3. 🤷‍♂️

      People cant do anything. What actions will change things?

      You can demonstrate until you die of old age and nothing has been accomplished.

      I think the only actual change people can do is try and collect money to live somewhere else. I dont believe in talking and convincing people. I believe in direct action in your own life.

        Well Charlie Kirk has been awfully quiet and not bussing around insurrectionists to the Capitol recently. Wonder what happened there?

          It didnt create meaningful change. A person was killed. The opinions of his fans are only stronger now. So what did it accomplish, really.

          Also, the moment people split into two sides and wont listen to eachother, and starts fighting eachother, you have the setup needed for much more meaningless violence. This is where America is now. Because you have been manipulated into it.

          You can watch this video that actually explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo

          Please actually watch it. This is 100% what is happening.

        Long lasting general strikes and boycots would be an effective tool. I realize they would be painful, or even impossible, for people to support themselves through in many cases, whuch is why things like mutual aid and strike funds need to be set up first.

          If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone’s entertainment and they’ll get pissed real fast.

            You mean like when there was a writer’s strike and basically nothing happened and basically nothing changed?

      Ehh naw we just need to let it reset. The house of cards will crumble as soon as Trump croaks, then once ceaser is gone Rome will burn. Hopefully what comes after is better, but it probably won’t.

      Personally, my family came to this foreign land, that’s not ours, to seek out a better economic life and freedom. 2024 was the first election that the youngest voting generation went more conservative in the last 100 years. The beliefs of this nation no longer align with my own, so I’m returning back to Europe where my family once came in search of those very values. I realize a lot isn’t great there either, but I have more trust in the EU protecting my fundamental rights than I do the US Constitution.

      Failing that, at least Europe has better wine and I’ll just enjoy the view while the world ends.
