I mean Wyoming has just under 600,000 people... wasn't COVID-19 more than that and people just didn't care?
Like bourgeois class solidarity is such a powerful force in this country that it even overpowers fears for individuals' own safety
I picked Wyoming cause its small but if you want you can replace it with California. Alright fuck it . Lets say Trump Nukes Los Angeles. Its not really about it being as bad or worse than COVID but a undeniably proof of the decay of the Empire. People need to see and feel it. .... and accept it.
Honestly? I think there's a significant portion of the population in
who are so utterly convinced of the security of Empire and self-centered that it would literally have to happen to them, not their families or friends, to them personally, to even begin to change. And only for a fraction of a second before they're vaporized.
IMO the existence of this population is something anti-imperialists in
have to "budget for". And I really don't know what to do ☹️.
