There’re still older Civilizations I haven’t played so I’m not worried
I’m 55, and this is my retirement plan.
In another screenshot I once read “my retirement plan is to die in the socialist revolution” and I think that’s exactly what I hope for
That’s been my plan for years, but now it’s morphed into something more like, “my retirement plan is to die in the American underground fighting the local Nazis.”
I wouldn’t say it’s my plan, but it’s an option I’m keeping in account
I plan to die fighting for the revolution.
Mine is more “I don’t plan to live that long anyway”
Mine is more ‘why bother when inflation will eat the value away’
Have you heard of the stock market? /jk
Don’t worry. They gonna raise the retirement age.
It needs Just 1 bullet in trumps head… FCK America.
But the American ist Like:
100% braindeadSomeone else just as bad would replace him. It’s supported by public sentiment, he was voted in.
I don’t think you’ll find anyone with Trump’s “charisma” that quickly who would appeal to the MAGA crowd in the same way. Of course, I could be wrong about that.
Trump has as much charisma as a chewed bubble gum. I don’t understand why that many people voted him. Twice.
His speech patterns and dialogue match up surprisingly well with Jim Jones of the famous Jonestown Massacre. Once somebody like that has a following, it doesn’t matter how crazy he gets, the diehard believers will literally die hard for the guy.
The first campaign drew the cult together from a cult that was already there (a groomed voter base who will vote Republican no matter who) and the first term bonded them together against an enemy (everybody with common sense) while the Republican party and the entire media insulated them from how bad he is. There were some people who saw what he did and turned away - he got less votes this time around than he did last time, and that’s even with the questions of election interference that keep cropping up - but that just means that the people left are the crazies who would defend him even if he personally started shooting up schools.
American politics is so screwed up that most people have little clue of what exactly happens in this country. A coworker of mine just the other day was effectively saying that daddy Trump had to hurt us because big-meanie Biden ruined the government deficit.
Because they were told that Trump would protect them against all of the bad things that Trump’s backers were blasting into their brains 24/7 via social media and partisan ‘news’ organizations.
Ignorance and disinformation did way more work that Trump’s charisma which is, as you’ve said, lacking
There’s a part of me that agrees, trump has a wild hold on the maga crowd. Buuuuut I also have trouble thinking of something that would make it easier for some non trump to channel that same energy than an assassination.
I think there would be a civil war first and then a new system would be established if the USA didn’t splinter. It would initially be worse in terms of violence, but in the long term the fascism that Trump imposes will be more brutal. However, Russia, China, North Korea, etc. would take direct advantage of these circumstances. It’s all just absolute shit.
It would create a power vacuum, and the traditional constitutional democratic norms and processes have already been destroyed.
So it would be a literal bloodbath.
And it probably would not end well for America.
just have to kill the next one and the next one until someone who can see the pattern steps up
It needs Just 1 bullet in trumps head… FCK America.
I mean, sure, that would be nice.
But the idea that Fascism is just one man using mind control powers on the rest of the country and if you get rid of that singular embodiment of evil the rest of the fascists will disappear in a puff of logic is… flawed.
If Trump had eaten a bullet in 2024, JD Vance would be President right now and nothing would be meaningfully different. The rot is systemic. It isn’t even contained to the GOP. Go check out “Welcomefest” and the continued Liberalist campaign to transform the Democratic Party into a rebranded Dick Cheney style of neoconservatism by courting Silicon Valley goons who are on the fence about Trump.
This doesn’t end with one guy going away. This doesn’t end with 100 guys going away. This ends when the top tier of mega-wealthy families no longer have an incentive to kill millions of people in order to maintain their elite positions.
the next time you think getting rid of Trump will solve society’s problems, just remember that Trump Jr will most likely run for president at some point in your lifetime
Got plenty in my retirement pot, but I’ve been saving up bottle caps just in case.
I’m putting my trust in my bottle cap collection.
I’ve been hoping for that big EMP from the sun I keep getting told about.
Or the poles swapping.
With Germans?
Yeah, let Poland invade someone for once!
Societal collapse or probable future health issues, either way (or both)
Hopefully I’ll be dead by 65
Want assistance? I haven’t got much experience with people, but I do have slaughtered a bunch of poultry, I have my own axe and I’m quite keen to help
65? 65?!? My expected retirement age is 7-goddamn-2 and considering that’s in the 2050s shit could happen to that plan in the meantime…
