      Tbh man, our entire culture is basically a lie. We are beyond democracy. It’s like USA was compromised for a long time, but it’s just becoming obvious now because of all the ai, ice, and surveillance shit going on.

        Democracy was always a mirage, it was only for rich white guys in the beginning, not the enslaved Africans and genocided natives. We’ve found ways around giving liberty to at least some portion of people continuously since.

        More like we’ve known, but it’s been more tolerable until recently. We got frog boiled, and are just realizing we’re cooked.
