Shit like this makes it really hard not to fedpost, man.

Sadly, that's exactly what they want. They won't allow a peaceful solution, but any other "solution" will be a trap set by the entrenched "intelligence community." Everything is too captured, and I'm not sure the best way to fight it.

I'm not trying to blackpill here, and in fact I do see reason for hope which I'll get to in a second, but it's very frustrating that they've got us from all angles. The deep state has too much power to make changing anything from within the system anything but an extreme longshot, and the fedbois have society so captured as to make trying to change the system from without a death sentence.

As to why I'm not completely blackpilled? I do see positive signs of the pendulum starting to swing back, and that's very important. If more and more people start seeing the current zeitgeist as the utter bullshit that it is, the power of the people currently running the show diminishes. As the Overton window shifts, things spiral beyond what they can control from either within or without the system, so those longshots - both peaceful and not - become less slim by the day. There's a critical mass we can reach. I wonder if that's part of what they're trying to avoid; make things pop off too early, go full authoritarian in response, while they still have most of the normies in their narrative. But their grasp is already slipping, at least slightly.
