  • I didn’t say anything about money. I was thinking more about the effects of losing your home to an american bomb, and the value of your moral high ground then. I took “We may or may not lose Greenland, but at least we won’t have to carry the pride of being the traitor nation that threatened and potentially invaded an ally in the 21st century” to mean something like, ‘we may not be able to defend ourselves in a war against america, but at least we have a moral advantage.’ Which, cool, and yes I agree, but your moral advantage won’t keep you (or more to the point, the people of greenland) safe from bombs or bullets.

    Put it another way: My driving teacher liked to say that graveyards are full of people who had the legal right-of-way.

    And I wish you had included literally anything besides the emoji in your initial draft, as it was I didn’t have any reason to reply to the emoji and had to read through the thread again to realize you actually substantively replied.








  • for my part, im tired of: being laughed at; looked at as if i have 2 heads; people just kinda vaguely agreeing saying something to the effect of ‘it is what it is’; legitimate criticism, whether agreed with or not being deferred with ‘just wait for 2026’ as if the election itself wasnt suspect; or just being plain ol, flat out ignored by self-proclaimed ‘organizers’ who quit after 2 months.

    call me a rat if you want, i want off this sinking ship. its refusal to rescue itself and complete breakdown of social fabric that would allow such a thing to take place is the biggest reason why.

    In my experience, if you can’t explain a thing, it’s usually because you don’t understand it; that ability to explain is practically what it is to understand a thing (with notable exceptions for eg. language difficulties, or for simple hand-eye tasks), which this shrugging abdication(abnegation?) of explanation does not even pretend to try to attempt.
