    Why would it take generations to fix an issue that only started a few decades ago? What a load of shit.

      A few generations to fix

      An issue that only started a a few decades 2 generations ago

      Because generations are only 25 years, not the 100 that your generation will survive. These issues started, or at least became severely worse, about 3 generations ago with Reagan.

        It took that long because they were attempting the slow boil method. We can course correct immediately.

        There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.

          We can but how do you as an individual plan to convince Americans to start the revolution? Personally, I think we need to build them up and show them the systemic issues they’re dealing with in order to convince them.

          There are decades where nothing’s happens There are decades where you don’t pay attention to what’s happening in the background, and there are weeks where decades happen weeks where those decades of planning come to fruition.

            I’m not an accelerationist, but if I was then I would say Trump is doing it quite well. If this keeps up, people will be more open than you’d think to revolution.

              I don’t disagree with you, and I’ve made this point to someone else as well. I’m not a revolutionary yet because people haven’t been burned enough to be convinced by a revolutionary yet
