In the US transit mostly doesn’t exist beyond buses that barely ever run.

For Interstellar, at least, I’d say it’s incredibly low-brow. The resolution is just “the power of wuv saves humanity!”, which is extremely simplistic and easily understood by the masses.

One could argue that anyone paying taxes to the US (or any US-allied states) are “part of the problem” in that they’re partly paying for a state that is dead set on exterminating all life on the planet by accelerating climate change and embracing fascism (or, at the bare minimum, doing nothing major to oppose it). But the people paying those taxes are only doing so under threat of violence, imprisonment, or death. I think anyone who opposes this state of affairs is not part of the problem. They might not be part of the solution, which imo would require engaging in activism to attempt to overthrow the current state of affairs, but they’re neutral at worst. I’d like to think I do enough to fall under the former umbrella, and so would not think of myself as “part of the problem”.

The people who are “part of the problem” in my mind are three groups:

1. Those who willingly go along with the fascist project but do not meaningfully contribute to it. In america, these are your typical Trump voters who happily go along with everything he says but aren’t doing anything beyond that. It also includes many liberals who still believe in american exceptionalism and, for example, don’t see anything wrong with committing genocide so long as the person doing it is polite and pretends to be trying to stop it.
2. Those who contribute to the fascist project but are following orders. These are the kind of people who will go to Jan 6th, or scream about woke teachers at a schoolboard meeting. They might even run for small-time local office.
3. Those who are orchestrating the fascist project. These are the billionaires, high-level politicians, media personalities, and right-wing think tanks who have been actively pushing and/or masterminding the fascist movement for decades.

Clearly it’s one point three-twenty em-bee.

Nyaa.si still up, all is well

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, AKA “Might as well try my best in case I’m wrong and we manage to pull it off”.

By this analogy, where does Biden, the American Paul von Hindenburg, land? Like obviously it’s worse to actually abolish democracy, but surely working with those doing it and doing nothing to stop them is also evil?

E: As a disclaimer about my political views, I believe that Trump and every other US president should be executed for crimes against humanity.

If it’s about domestic damage, then every president who owned slaves or supported segregation still beats him.

E: Also every president who was involved in the genocide of the indigenous peoples of America to an extent more than Trump (IE he probably ties Biden and Obama on this).

They’re low risk unless you ingest them, because then they’re hitting internal organs directly.

He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.

Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.

I desire the end of America and indeed all capitalist states, ideally before they slide even further into fascism in the near future. Death to the Israeli state, and death to any states that support it.
