I don’t care who will fix it. Yes, I’m entirely egotistical here. I’m a white dude not living in the US. I’ll be one of the last to suffer the consequences. Yes, I totally understand there’ll be consequences. And it’ll suck for everyone, including me. No, I don’t want people to feel sorry for me.
And yes, I tried to warn people. I tried to stop it. I vote, of course. But guess what? I’m just some random guy. I’m not going to be able to fix the world.
I’m not going to feel bad about myself because I happen to exist in a world that’s too stupid to understand that they’re actively assisting the people that are trying to fuck them.
No, I’m not one of them. I’m not part of the problem. I get that I’m not part of the solution either, but that doesn’t mean I’m the problem.
The people want this. That’s democracy, baby! I’m not going to force anyone to be happy. Go ahead, vote yourself into misery. I’m going to save my own ass for as long as I can.
Do the same, or don’t, I’m not your mom. I’m enjoying my privileges while I still have them. That’s all I can do.
