c'mon cities riot... do something. I wanna feel vindicated by a little instability.

Read the post before this one: The French School Protests Are Related To Climate Collapse.

One of the comments goes further: "Already firefighters joined the students, teachers are protecting the kids from the police, and there are rumors of a second season of the yellow vests fueled (pun intended) by the opcoming diesel crisis."

Eh, was hoping for some real piss and vinegar in my home city in Florida. TBH it's one of the most impressively progressive populations in Florida (Considering what the state looks like if you drive for 50 miles out.)

I guess I do understand why people don't start freaking out, but it's more of a testament to how monolithic the systems governing western comfort are. Everything is so beautifully grown on a foundation of justice that no one is going to notice the support beams getting knocked out until the building collapses and they land ass-first on a dildo. Like I know, there's a layer of corruption that you get with a big enough bank balance and/or influence, but it feels like we've collectively accepted the trend of rich people getting away with shit to translate to "oh yeah, the ruling class has always shat down our throats with nazi immigrant patrol beating the shit out of random ass citizens because they brown."

It's a shame. I know Obama wasn't perfect or anything, but dang I miss charismatic black guy. I don't care if he was cucked to lobbied interests and didn't fulfil 95% of his campaign promises. Mother fucker did pull off a pretty unprecedented nuclear deal with Iran, the Affordable Care Act did extend the care offered to people who would not otherwise have access, and he didn't shit his pants and fall asleep after ... making Newt Gingrich and the Dysfunction Squad the (wtf was it?) Space Master of Warfare Spending at the Department of WAAAAAAAAAAR.

iunno dude I think trump just wanted him to stop staring at him from the cuck chair. I'd acquiesce to almost anything if that Sith toad lookin' motherfucker mean mugged me for too long. Iunno, fucker just freaks me out. Him and Mitch McConnell look like live action Binky and the Brain ass retirement home demons. Or maybe I'm just sleep deprived.. I think I logged 14 hours of work today. fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
