  • Precisely. I echo that sentiment.

    Hope it never comes to it, sure, but if it comes down to it I rather go out fighting for our freedom and dragging tyranny with me than let it relish in victory.

    That’s the thing with peace and the duty to fight for it - it’s not convenient nor comfortable. We get to enjoy it because others previously fought for it, even though they could have just given up. And so we might have to do the same for the ones after us, in addition to maintaining it. And that’s ok with me.




  • Do try. The more you try to split us apart the more we unite against common foes.

    We Europeans might bicker a lot and not see eye to eye on some things, but our lands still bear the scars of mankind’s worst moments. We know better and see right past the vain attempts at manipulation.

    And yeah, we have some dumbass extreme-right parties in many countries (including mine) being heavily funded and/or encouraged by Russia and the US, just like we saw with Germany’s AfD. But we’re already taking measures against that sort of influence, thankfully.








  • What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.

    It’s hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don’t want to let them make the first move on you.

    As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.

    Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As did those who didn’t have the choice to begin with.

    Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.


  • Sadly, yes. I mean, Trump knows he’s ‘close’ to his grave and needs to leave some kind of legacy - even if it’s the Hitler kind of one - his narcissistic self just wants to enter them history books as one of the big humans instead of ‘another rich guy’ as a footnote.

    Pretty sure either Elon or Vance are already lined up for when the time comes. When Trump leaves the world, and when there’s no longer actual rules preventing them from taking over and ‘fixing’ under martial law what big bad orange wrecked. At least according to them, that is.

    No matter how bad what they’re doing seems this is just the preparation stage. Things can become so, so much worse, and the more we let them consolidate power the tougher it’ll be to fight it later.
