A tale as old as time for a budding dictatorship.
We are so fucked and it is exhausting being around hopeful centrists on a sinking ship the lifeboats were sold off of because centrists solemnly agreed with fascists that boats needed to be more efficient.
Listen to me, this is going to get bad come to terms with that now or it will destroy you later.
Y’all need to form armed militias and protect your people.
I have severe ADHD, the centrists around me will voluntarily crush me if told to do so long before things approach that point all the while believing in their hearts they are doing the right thing :)
That is why I put my words in a public place that is hosted not in US, I know I am fucked and I won’t shut up about it because I know what this means for others already having had their futures foreclosed.
Nah I like shooting guns, it is fun! I don’t desire to own one however because I am acutely aware of how sad of a person I am. My ADHD makes daily life a living hell, me owning a poorly thought out but final way out of that? No thanks, I will survive longer without a gun I know that much.
Everything you said, literally everything is me to the letter. I know my past comments and posts, ADHD neurodivergent brain sees what it seems others do not. I have thought of ways out of this mess and it ends with my death, either at the hands of this government or self-infliction. I know how to use a gun, but I also don’t plan to be someone eaten by zombies. I’d be the one found in bed with my family, all appearing to have succumbed to self-unaliving.
I’d love to find somewhere to live that isn’t the US, but I have but one skill and ADHD is not on the desired applicants field for most emigration forms.
I agree completely
I’d love to find somewhere to live that isn’t the US, but I have but one skill and ADHD is not on the desired applicants field for most emigration forms.
…and also I am quite serious when I say that I will die before I am ever able to get through the paperwork of immigrating to another country even if I do possess skills that are considered valuable or there is the asylum potential for me to flee, people laugh or don’t take me seriously when I say things like that but if you have the kind of ADHD I do or similar you know I am simply being soberly serious, I will die before I ever get through that much paperwork. It is as simple as that, hopefullly I survive I am not being nihilist I just sure as hell know those aren’t lifeboats I can use.
“You will do what you have to survive if you have to” - people will often reflexively say in response to me to shut down conversation about survival as if I wasn’t already doing that and the conversation wasn’t specifically about survival becoming an order of magnitude harder for me… No I won’t that is my point, believe me when I say it, I WON’T BECAUSE I CAN’T. Help me now or face the fact that this is in some way a goodbye. You are not obligated to help me, though I will not stand you being in denial about refusing to help me even as you do so with your deflections of my existential cry to details and hopeful plans that mean nothing to me because their timelines far exceed my plausible lifeplan.
It is also frustrating how when I talk about this people so often act like I am being extreme, or reactionary or talking in existential terms that are unhelpful, and it hurts when they say it because I am not. I have lost friendships very important to be me because of the pain this causes me when friends have responded these ways repeatedly with a loving but unlistening intention. If I was where most people’s kneejerk reaction thought I was when I say these things I wouldn’t be here talking to you, people don’t want to come to terms with the fact that they are in a war already and I am tired of it. I realize I am, I am still here, for now, save your concern for the war not for me and for fucks sake stop being in denial about being in a war ughh.
(I didn’t mean “you” as in response to you as a reply, I meant general “you” as in I am talking to the not so hypothetical types of people that have and will respond to me endlessly until I pass from this earth lol)
My apocalypse farm in northern Maine is neurodivergent-friendly. Neurodivergent-preferred in fact.
I’ll start loading my board game collection into the car.
yes
I’ll bring the hobbies that eventually breakdown and I lose interest in fixing!
Yeah, you can actually make a living as a squirrel doing that, the forest is full of those jobs though as a squirrel it isn’t any less stressful or frustrating just because it is valued.
However, the world we are being forced into will kill all the squirrels, make NO mistake, it is just a matter of who first.
In what way?
In the way of me being neurodivergent and preferring us to normies
I understand
One of these elected officials is gonna get one of the agents. Heaven help us all then.
Some of them have already been executed. Many, many more will follow. It’s like a drawn-out version of the Night of Long knives, but perpetual.
Some of them have already been executed.
I’m sorry, what?
The headline misspelled “persecuting.”
