    I mean, you could mention it. You could probably mention it easier if people would stop using .world as the default for everything, but you can mention it.

    I think it’s a little too quick to be thought of as THE SOLUTION. Everyone seems to have absorbed just a teeny bit of the action hero mentality though, because that action will never be cleanly carried out. It will be a massive shit show for decades.* Every martin luther king jr. needs their malcolm x, sure, I absolutely believe that viewpoint, but the peaceful community advocating and community building needs to be emphasized and practiced (that’s the important bit, after all) more.

    *There are far too many folks (in the US part of the “clowns of the world” mentioned) that are literally next door to the people that they will want to go after, and they’ve been itching to do it. Nothing that breaks the peace will see inaction from those folks, and that’s what pushes me to always advocate. I don’t want to be the cause of innocents suddenly being lynched because they happen to live in a deep red area and some sort of ‘civil war 2: electric boogaloo’ breaks out… And I use that electric boogaloo specifically because it is a pretty stark reminder (I hope), that those sorts of folks have been literally talking about what they have wanted to do for decades at this point. Unless the lefties break out some secret plans, they’re going to be out-organized and very out-planned.
