It sure is easy to criticize people for inaction when you're at no risk yourself.

    The people the rest of the world has been warning for decades that this very situation would occur if you kept doing what you were doing? The people who got belligerent and shitty when we pointed out the path they were on? Easy to criticize them? Yeah, it very much is.

    This is Lemmy, the vast majority of Americans here lean hard left. We knew. What exactly were we supposed to do? Die immediately in an immature revolution? Magically devise the perfect argument to overcome a century of anti-left propaganda?

    This reminds me of a recurrent thing in life: someone competes following a set of rules, and the other player doesn't follow them. Of course that gives them an advantage.

    There are two logical options to make the game fair again:

    1)finding a way to make the second player follow the original rules

    2)accepting the new game with its changed rules
