        “power vacuum” is when all the filth was vacuumed and there is a chance. that chance vanishes when filth starts piling up again and someone else gets into power, creating the need to vacuum again. i’ld rather like it tidy and clean than filth-controlled.

        I’m trans in a red state. I am not safe.

        I just recognize that the US is a blight and must be destroyed, and that one candidate is more likely to result in the US’s defeat.

        That’s more of a silver lining, though.

          if you live in an unsafe country, its maybe better for you to flee before it gets even worse.

              we already know what happens to those in the center. poor ones, poor in their mind, poor in their heart, poor in their outcome.

                To quote Mao:

                When we discuss the terms ‘front’ and ‘rear’ it must be remembered, that while guerrillas do have bases, their primary field of activity is in the enemy’s rear areas. They themselves have no rear.

                The guerilla must move among people as a fish swims in the sea. While you say we only face poor outcomes, I see this as a strategic opportunity. I’m in the enemy’s rear, in the heart of its operations. Right where I need to be.

      so then its fully okay for you if its the us thats to be broken then, thanks for admitting it. and after breaking the omlettes eater’s own eggs for him to consume there’s then a chance that no omlettes need to be made any more. a chance of improvement is always better than no chance for it.

        The US government is putting the boot on your necks too. The empire isn’t run for your benefit, it is run at your expense.

          the ‘empire’ is run to everyone’s expense including the 'empire’s own expense even if they show a whole mess of false evidences that their’re not. they are.

          i meant improving society and strengthen its immune system against threats that would otherwise cause collapses. imperiums cause and collapse/vanish all the time, just try to count the already vanished ones in “known” history, i guess while you are still busy counting the known ones there will be even more “newly found” by archaelogists. while lots of them just vanished without trace, some vanished but just weren’t found yet.
