    We have to try something. We’re all we’ve got. Perhaps someone has resources for possible solutions we’re missing. Because we saw what happened with an attempted insurrection – and what didn’t happen.

    Eta: you’re right about everything you said and I’m not sure we can even fathom the full scope of what that looks like. We’re talking almost three centuries of physical, emotional/psyc, spiritual (religions/beliefs), sexual, financial and any other kind of abuse they could conceive. Abu Gihrab/Gitmo are visceral horrors that we as a collective mostly recoiled at. This is centuries of insidious abuse, cptsd and I’m almost convinced most Spectrum B disorders without physical/genetic causes are thus caused — that means unless we don’t a) address the immediate concerns, because of J6 and what has and hasn’t happened since, and!

    If the media publishes it, it serves their purposes beyond “oops, that’s embarrassing, admit it and cut to next story.”

    I’m scared. I feel like I’m an aged video game character facing a real pit boss and my lifeline is red flashing. Perhaps some left of liberal user could point us to some resources, because guerrilla war is going to have to come at a logical, but viscerally hard-hitting angle. We don’t have time to deprogam ourselves and each other. We won’t, unless we come together now.*

    • Disclaimer: seeing how things are going and did go with climate extinction, I fully expect the same. But I’m willing to give it the old try again and again anyway, so thanks if there are resources from people smarter than me.
