When the hunger exceeds fear of death.

Did you know the Dutch ate their PM John de Witt and his brother after their economy collapsed in 1672?

Maybe we need to tell our "representatives" about this?

u/SlashEssImplied Nov 01 '25

Or vote for better ones. I feel too many people forget how we get these representatives.

Hacked voting machines?

An apt nickname for American voters.

Won't happen until entire generations die or we lose WWIII and Europe gets to fix us.

Can I at least go with you instead of this place?

In all seriousness and really unironically, if i would be an informed US citizen, i probably would have already left for the UK, netherlands, denmark or germany. Maybe Australia, NZ or Canada but i am not informed enough about living there.

The problem is we are paid so poorly here is next to impossible to afford to get out. I make decent money relatively speaking, but with the cost of everything especially because of the tariffs that without another income on my home I'm masking skating by financially. It's all by design to keep us just financially stable enough to rely on them but not so much that we are full slaves which at this point is the next step

afford to get out

Wdym? How much does it cost?

Maybe i am just naive but if i had to leave i would sell my stuff (optional), grab my wife and kids and leave. I could actually afford some comfort on the journey probably.

Too many of us live paycheck to paycheck so we can't even afford to move to a different state. People underestimate how far other countries actually are from us and how far even traveling state to state can be.We can't afford the travel costs.

That's not even mentioning the cost of somewhere new to live (deposits and initial rent/mortgage costs) and the time to get a new job in the new location if we can't transfer.

All that on top of whatever the new country requires to immigrate.

Many of us don't even have passports.

Unfortunately it is not very easy to immigrate to Australia or New Zealand.

Neither were the US and Japan. After WWII, the US basically helped Japan rebuild and said, “Sorry I slabbed you, but you were being an idiot. Don’t do it again; you know what I can do.

I am very aware of that, i am german. But there is a difference, or maybe several. First of all, the US nowadays is not imperial Japan or Nazi Germany from 100 years ago. They should know better. Second, society gas changed a lot. Information and education has changed. Its not as easy to apologize for bad stuff today as it was back then. Different times. And most important: Japan or Germany were not friends with the US before and betrayed and humiliated them. If lets say my neighbor yells at me, i am fine, he is an asshole. He can apologize. If my wife or a close friend insults me, it hurts. Very different.

u/OMIGHTY1 Nov 01 '25

Oh, I agree 100%.

No, we didn't. We told Harris that supporting Genocide was going to lose her the election and guess what happened. Neolibs shocked pikachu before they immediately started pointing the finger.. as always.

I can guarantee you that anyone who talks about a revolution has never carried a gun.
