That’s the plan.
To break us all.

Where are the bunkers?

caz2-0.bsky.social•109 days ago

I believe Zuckerberg has one in Hawaii. The fucking top 1 percent will be sitting pretty, while the rest of us will be fighting for our lives. This premeditated, intended outcome is in full swing.
At this point “preppers” are definitely two or three steps ahead of the rest of us.

Who can afford one?

heavymetalmike.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yeah, we’re fucked. Thanks republicans

Imagine it is Putin in charge of USA right now.

He wants to destroy the gov, at pace. This renders the whole country dysfunctional. This leads to anarchy as people fight over food, water and each other to survive.

This leads to martial law, curfew and ID papers and a broken State. Job done. Yawn

buddhaweasel.bsky.social•121 days ago

"could"? Do we wait until it does? Perhaps we be a bit more proactive in stopping this coup. You can't tell me the US military does not have a plan to deal with an insurrection from within, especially after Trump's first term and countless failing of our system to keep him out of power.

Heartbreaking.
I love my country. 😿

They (Trump & Company) are mathematicians... Division is their specialty!

tom101010.bsky.social•121 days ago

MAGA won’t comprehend anything short of mass societal chaos. 1.2M American deaths didn’t resonate, only societal collapse will. Maybe.

andrea-littlefield.bsky.social•121 days ago

That is exactly where we're heading

I have my popcorn 🍿
Good luck ‘Merica this is the shit show you voted for.

Collapse of America is the goal

bettycrackerfl.bsky.social•109 days ago

I don’t rule out systemic collapse either. But in the short term, it’s more likely the U.S. will share Twitter’s fate: janky and degraded functionality, overrun by crypto scammers, massive value loss, exodus of decent folks and influx of hard right extremists. In short, it becomes a Nazi bar.

cindie-4676.bsky.social•109 days ago

Trump and Musk need to be forcibly ousted and placed in Guantanamo.

cindie-4676.bsky.social•109 days ago

Not much helpful advice in this article.

emvision1711.bsky.social•121 days ago

Duh. That’s the plan, always has been.

Chaos when needs cannot be met will not end well. The instability cannot make anything great.

brettrhetoric.bsky.social•121 days ago

To the broligarchy that’s a feature, not a bug.

cardsoundjeff.bsky.social•121 days ago

It's unstoppable

jlchamberlain1863.bsky.social•109 days ago

I said America was heading to a systematic collapse back in 2022. People dismissed me as an alarmist. I wish I had been wrong.

I also said in 2022 that the US would likely either spiral into Civil War or a full-on dictatorship. Unfortunately, it looks like we may have that too by year's end.

cindyrader.bsky.social•121 days ago

I didn't see any real action items here.

anagram22.bsky.social•120 days ago

I feel certain it will. We will not be great again; we'll be the America of the Great Depression, if not worse.

olympicdane.bsky.social•121 days ago

Disaster capitalism. Like when Russia collapsed and everything was bought by the Oligarchs.

pickle2me.bsky.social•121 days ago

Possible? It's happening now.
Ask if anybody got their last social security check.

elanamich70.bsky.social•121 days ago

I got my check yesterday

jalorensen.bsky.social•121 days ago

My social security check was credited to my bank account yesterday. Whew! I was worried! And I will worry next month, etc.

biggestrascal.bsky.social•121 days ago

The whole plan to begin with!

cielenbleu.bsky.social•121 days ago

It is coming.

cuppajoe.bsky.social•109 days ago

We are approaching the 100 year anniversary of the World Wide Great Depression. No one alive today has personal experience of its impact.

Triggered by tariffs but avoidable if we had good governance. Instead we had Herbert Hoover. This is not rhyming, it is repeating.

kangoroo17.bsky.social•121 days ago

America will turn into a Mad Max Movie.
Fuck all MAGA'S

Honestly it might be the only thing that saves the democracy

nomorex234.bsky.social•121 days ago

Sad but true

mainchirp.bsky.social•121 days ago

Well that article was terrifying.

redargutor.bsky.social•121 days ago

That’s the plan. Straight from the fascism playbook

jerseydude282.bsky.social•121 days ago

A horrible future awaiting for all of us if we don't stop these motherfuckers

Can you just skip to the how to survive part?

“Start with this principle: don’t face your fears alone. Make friends, meet your neighbours, set up support networks, help those who are struggling. Since the dawn of humankind, those with robust social networks have been more resilient than those without.” Amen!

seasofsalish.bsky.social•121 days ago

At this point it is not unreasonable to wonder if systemic collapse is the goal.

Am I way off base?

elanamich70.bsky.social•121 days ago

My at all. The titans of silicone valley want a global technocratic society. They would be in charge of everything.

elanamich70.bsky.social•109 days ago

I hate autocorrect.

gacal48.bsky.social•109 days ago

Vance’s deep connections to Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel goes back to his time at Yale Law School. In comes Curtis Yarvin. Watch the interview on You Tube with him "Curtis Yarvin on the End of American Democracy". It helped me to see the horrific plan this people have for America.

dontputmarbles.bsky.social•121 days ago

Yeah, that was an aspect of crypto I really didn't see. Makes sense though if you want to manipulate your currency without any oversight.

meanneighborlady.bsky.social•109 days ago

I think it is exactly the goal. I think they want it to collapse. Musk said before they took over "there will be pain" and then he smiled. I remembered thinking they intend to crash it. What I didn't expect was that the leaders would sit there dumbfounded.

weyodi.bsky.social•109 days ago

When you look at these douche bags following Curtis Yarvin and openly referring to him as "the prophet" it makes perfect sense that they would intentionally cause systemic collapse in order to allow literal actual corporate feudalism to take hold.

martharenner.bsky.social•94 days ago

As in def I think it may be the goal!

martharenner.bsky.social•94 days ago

Defff

wholetree.bsky.social•109 days ago

"Can't rule it out?" at this point, if you are still clinging to the notion that DJT is NOT a fascist dictator, or that the country can survive four years on district court stays and TRO's, then I would argue you are living in a bit of a fantasy... read the terrain. DJT is going to go all the way...

pinkdream.bsky.social•121 days ago

Oh, it’s going happen alright. Bet on it and get your affairs in order and prepare. A nation cannot withstand this much corruption and dysfunction.
