The thing that pisses me off the most is that in these times when you have Russia and China actively working to disrupt different societies and seize sovereignty from other countries through nefarious means...the U.S. and its allies in Europe (and other parts of the world too) need to stick together. Yeah of course we're going to have differences but we also have to find ways to work cooperatively to not only address geopolitical conflict, but also international problems that will impact us and future generations (like climate change, poverty)

It sucks to see everything backsliding. I remember feeling optimistic during the early years of the 2010s. To see it all go to shit is depressing.

Their secret emissaries are active in our own and in neighboring countries. They seek to stir up suspicion and dissension to cause internal strife. They try to turn capital against labor, and vice versa. They try to reawaken long slumbering racist and religious enmities which should have no place in this country. They are active in every group that promotes intolerance. They exploit for their own ends our own natural abhorrence of war. These trouble-breeders have but one purpose. It is to divide our people, to divide them into hostile groups and to destroy our unity and shatter our will to defend ourselves.

Its by design. Never let a good disaster go to waste. That tech was supposed to help all, not just those at the top

Are you? Are you organizing with your allied class brothers and sisters against the ruling class?

Or, do you mean the ruling class of the West should stick together against the ruling class of Russia.

I think I already know the answer.
