My concern was ‘jilling off’ is the female version of ‘jacking off’.

Well said, thank you. I put these opinions forward knowing theyll be unpopular but if even the smallest seed can be planted from it its a success in my book.

I dont mind being piled on. People need to hear hard things even if it makes them angry and lash out.

That would have to be a very big bucket. I dont think they make them that big.

Joke’s on you. Im not European either.

Hey you’re that penetration cum blast guy!

I moved back because my family is here. What the fuck are you on about? It had fuck all to do with Trump. I moved back during Biden. Are you seriously upset because I wanted to be with my family?

Stop being a cunt.

I have lived there. Ive been involved in community action during the first administration. If you believe its impossible, youve already lost.

You dont need everyone to mount a resistance. Why does it have to be all or nothing? And who said you had to organize peace with fascists?

I know that. No one is saying you as an individual need to do this right now. We are saying you need to organize. I think this is a cultural misunderstanding.

When I say ‘you’ I am not referring to an individual. Im referring to you as a people. Maybe that misunderstanding is evidence of the hyper individualism your country has subtly snuck into your lives that prevents you (again a collective you) from doing so.

I dont understand the logic though so please help me here. I have lived in the US and do have a good idea of how shitty things are (or were even back then). Things will not improve by inaction and are objectively getting worse. So yes, you risk a lot by acting but if you dont your life will continue to get worse and you’ll end up homeless anyway. Or worse.

No one is coming to save you. You live in the most powerful country in the world. Nobody is going to come in and liberate you. Your only option is to save yourself.

Nobody is claiming it will be easy, simple, or clean. But what other option is left? This is why the rest of us are baffled. Especially since the US has built up the reputation of having a rebellious spirit. Where is that spirit now?
