A lot of it tends to be very liberal, and pointed squarely in the direction of influencing a governing body that is not broken, but working exactly as intended.
Yeah sorry if it sounded like I was jumping down your throat, I'm not, I'm squarely pissed at the liberals. Biden getting voted in literally halted any kind of forward progress that was being made. Liberals were talking all this shit about being "Duh Resistunce" and it immediately ended once that geriatric pisspot got elected. And now we're here. And still many liberals think this system can be salvaged, and it clearly cannot go much farther except into sheer brutality on itself.
We built all these tools of colonial violence and they're reaching their logical endpoint of being turned on us. The only hope I really have besides trying to organize in my own community is that the present day fascists might be too stupid to accomplish their most brutal goals. Looking at the El Salvadorian mega prison shit though, that hope is running out fast.
