America is some fucked up dystopian shit honestly like how are y’all even surviving? Paying for healthcare? $60,000 on tuition? POC getting shot in Wal-Marts? White men shooting up elementary schools? That’s terrifying I’m worried about all of you
America doesn’t seem that terribly horrible when you live here day to day and you’ve known nothing else but when somebody says something like this it fucks you up really good.
It’s a bit like living in constant pain; it hurts. It’s troubling. But it’s part of your life and you’re used to it. You work around it as best you can.
When it’s gone, even briefly, it’s a revelation. Realizing other people don’t live their lives working around it is also a revelation. Alternatives exist.
The best dystopias try to convince those living in them that they’re actually a utopia, that this is the best of all possible worlds and that the alternatives are worse. Finding out otherwise, after all, could foment revolution.
This shit is not normal, y’all. Your country’s not okay
Not even a little.
