    People in the US should not wait until conditions deteriorate to levels seen elsewhere before voicing concerns. I wouldn’t call what they have privileges, as people had to fight for them in the past. The privileges you’re talking about are not something that fell from the sky. Moreover, there’s no guarantee these privileges will remain without continual effort to preserve them.

      Can you not see the huge world between “voicing concerns” and claiming we are in a dystopian nightmare? Do you really not realize how privileged Americans are to live in a place - with shit like easy access to clear water, a stable peaceful society, many rights, and our social systems even understanding it lags our peers?

      Yes of course you can be voice concerns. That should have been clear when I said I’m not “love it or leave it.”

      But, dear god, stop defending the stupid " were in a dystopian nightmare!" Because that’s just straight up cluelessness.

        No, I can’t, because echo chambers in social media where the most extreme people are gathered don’t represent the world.

          I’m not following this post. It sounds like you’re agreeing with me now that this echo chambers claim is not representative of the real world.

      And you should convince people to do that by presenting blatantly false information? People see this, roll their eyes, and call you crazy outside these echo chambers.This is propaganda veiled as humor. A good candidate for/c/theleftcantmeme if you’d like to draw a parallel content here.
