    You know how in beheading say, a chicken. the chicken can survive for a long time without a head? Even though it clearly has no head, no future and is the walking dead? This is The United States of America. The walking dead. We are only going through the motions. What was, is dead. We now have a king and for all intents and purposes, a completely pacified population. Greatest coup in history masterminded brilliantly by Putin. I mean, it wasn’t really brilliant though, was it? It was telegraphed and painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size. Still though, here we all are. Fucked.

      It was telegraphed and painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size.

      Unfortunately, that only accounts for maybe a quarter of the total population of the US.

      Yet, according to a recent study from the Department of Education, roughly half of U.S. adults, aged 16 to 74 years old — 54% or 130 million people — lack literacy proficiency.

      This means they effectively read below a sixth grade reading level. They literally cannot string complex ideas together and understand how those ideas interact.

      and is the walking dead

      To be clear, a headless chicken doesn’t shamble around slowly…

      It runs around as fast as possible, it’s heart beating as fast as it can, shooting blood 2-3 feet into the air while viciously attacking anything it bumps into.

      And since we’re going back to the “good ole days” /s

      The way to slaughter a chicken is hold it by the neck and press it’s head to the ground. Using a stick (to save your hand) draw a line straight in front of the chicken, over and over.

      The chicken will quickly freeze, for whatever reason it breaks it’s brain for a couple minutes.

      One person then cuts the head off with a hatchet, and another person quickly throws a tub over the corpse to avoid all the shit I said at first. When the tub stomps thumping, you can retrieve the chicken.

      But my point is; the masses won’t just shamble along, shits either gonna get crazy or the government is gonna have to throw a tub over us and sit on it.

          If someone genuinely thinks it’s pointless and nothing will be fixed no matter what…

          Why choose to spend your time telling people hope is useless?

          Why don’t you check out of politics for a while, if you truly believe we’re fucked, go enjoy what time we have left. Either you’re right and the same result, but you got to enjoy societies dying gasp, or you’re wrong and everyone that doesn’t give up fixing shit for you.

          I’m not trying to be a dick, it’s a legitimate question that I desperately want answered but no one ever does.

            Fixing shit for me ? You aren’t fixing shit for yourselves. We are now waiting for your useless fucking “country” to try to annex us, because none of you had the balls to stop an orange clown in diapers and a ketamine soaked tard. Fixing shit for us lmfao.

              No problem, I didn’t expect this to be the time someone finally answers the question.

              Feel free to keep replying telling people to give up, I’ll never see another comment you make. There’s much better uses of my time.
