Again, stop acting like you and your government are a “we”. You’re not. They decide what to do, and you have to deal with it.

The biggest threat to you is your government starting a senseless war. Nobody is going to attack the US if your government stopped trying to meddle in other countries affairs.

How did that work out for Ukraine? The idea that we live in a just world where everyone who has chaos rain down on them deserves it is so simply refuted even by a cursory glance at just modern history.

You’re significantly worse off assuming your government is adversarial than cooperative, regardless of what reality may be, and the majority of us know that. It’s why the chaos psyops aren’t working. We’re not happy with our government but apes together strong

And what has that attitude gotten you? 30 years of sending kids to die in the middle east?

I've gotten language I wrote passed into multiple state and a few federal laws. Definitey helps when I'm the only one to call my electeds on an issue.

The lazy and nihilistic aren't great for our country. But they're great if you put any work into civic engagement.
