I would say that at some point, the normie left is going to have to accept that The System™ isn’t going to help.

Waiting for The System™ to fix everything is how you get decades of dictatorship and “competitive authoritarianism”.

When The System™ is corrupted, you must work outside The System™. That’s just basic Systems 101.

When your blender stops working, you don’t just keep pressing buttons on it. You take it apart.

@jonathankoren I can say, without equivocation, that there has been a single instance when waiting resulted in something working again. Our daughter knocked a can of coke over on my Toshiba laptop. After we comforted here and assured her it was a mistake and I wasn't mad, I took it apart, cleaned it out, and nothing I did would make it turn on again. I put it away and went back to work on one of my many other machines. It sat for months, maybe even a year, when I came across it again. On a whim I plugged it in and it fired right up. I used it for a few more years after that.

Governments, however, do not work like that.

@Flowermob Don’t wait to be told. Don’t wait for permission. Look in your heart. You already know.
