Does anyone get the feeling that the Smollett, free college, and Epstein stories are just diversions from the real issues of debt, wars, and the police state?

There is so much evidence that the USA is collapsing now that you can't ignore it, but no one does a damn thing.

Something epic is coming like the French Revolution, US Revolution, the Civil War, WWII, or the Soviet collapse.

There is no serious effort to end the wars, reduce the debt, or restore the Bill of Rights. The elites are getting everything they want and the 99% don't care.

Insanity.

Maybe there is no hope, but one wonders if Americans cannot at least make an effort to think of solutions or wake people up so that they can prepare instead of just waiting for a spark that leads to collapse.

Can't anyone say anything?

Why not print up bumper stickers, pass out flyers, protest, go on hunger strikes, rent billboards, or make a website?

Couldn't there be a free market solution to the collapse? Couldn't there be mass awakening? Shouldn't freedom go viral?

You are correct. Something bad is coming, but while the majority has jobs they can barely hold on to and are in debt living paycheck to paycheck - and at least the majority has food, noting will get done. Nobody has the time or money to protest. Did you see what happned the last time we had a complete national protest about the 99%? In stead of standing together other hard working people told the people protesting to get a job.

It has to get worse before it can get better. As long as we can argue in courts about political correctness and what we can call 'manhole' covers and who can use what bathrooms and when we can still cram our faces with macaroni and cheese and cheap fast food and call that a meal nobody is going to do anything.

When a misdemeanor could keep you from getting a job for years a civil disobedience charge isn't just a slap on the wrist any more. Who can afford to let that happen?

They have taken one right away at a time and fed us "keeping up with the Kardashians" while they did it. We have people voting in this country that see the awful shit right in front of their faces and will say it's "Lib-tard Bullshit" While Looking Right At It! They dont mind if their taxes fund a goddamn war but the minute it goes to feed a fucking brown baby they get all bent out of shape.

The 99% have run a damn fine PR campaign where some people will happily put up with police brutality, will work themselves into the dirt until the day they die, will refuse free college, will refuse affordable healthcare, and will give away their retirement because a brown person might benefit from it, if it wasn't that way.

Something bad is definitely coming, and it is going to have to get much fucking worse before it can get better.
