      Not the good kind of group project, where the others fuck off and let you handle everything. The bad kind of group project, where everyone wants their input to be validated as super-special and important even if it ruins the entire endeavor.

          Turns out there are so many group members that that becomes a group project too.

          It’s group projects all the way down

          You can just watch them act like the right extremist but they can’t see it… It’s like they don’t even know what they are saying and they just go on emotional rampages.

          I found out I’m apparently a Republican terrorist because I think it would theoretically be good to have a gun if a civil war started.

          I got comments telling me I’m mentally ill and need help, haha. And that I was calling action to violence. …for simply stating I think it would be useful to have a weapon during a war.

        Exactly. If I could just do the revolution it would be done by now. But noooo, we need to hear everybody and agree on everything even Jeff’s stupid idea that somehow got popular.

        I think it’s something bigger. And a part of both sides. I think a lot of people haven’t seen life without their privileges and so they don’t actually know what the true reality of life is beyond their microcosms and marketed media. And until it can be admitted what reality is, which is a depressing and surreal task because reality is very dark, chaotic, and unfair, then no true honest change for humanity will come to fruition. There’s people that live outside of all nations rules and they basically own the planet. We aren’t playing by the same rules as the people that own us. These people use nations as tools, like the way inside a nation areas will be bought and sold regardless of how it affects the people… Gentrification… Etc…

        I think people need to understand the state of humanity is far far darker than America’s situation. America’s situation is just a symptom of a greater problem and that problem doesn’t get fixed with politics. It seems it’s more as if organized crime owns the path of humanity. Both sides seem to be doing exactly what they want for them to do and all reactions can be beneficial for the criminals even when it looks like progress was made.

        There are many factions of change. The politicians, protestors, workers… It comes down to changing our own microcosms. The first thing I think people should do is stop spending money on American industries, especially things that are extra in life, like mass pop entertainment and going out to eat or fashion. Otherwise it’s like one is paying the beast to hurt them. Many people aren’t ready to lose their privilege and make that sacrifice.
