   @KnifeEar @WashedOutGundamPilot Thanks, I love collecting these little windows into the lives of average Americans who feel similarly. Here's a bunch I caught in some youtube comment section, I think it was the whatifalthist on "the coming far right backlash" but I could be mistaken:
   
   >I always think this kind of thing is funny because even if I believed I had any degree of ability to save America, why would I possibly want to?
   
   >I grapple with this daily and it honestly breaks my heart. I've been raised to love thy neighbor, yet this country feels like it's going down with the titanic and the politik really all just seems to be about re-arranging the chairs on the deck instead of actually doing /something/ about the problems that face the nation.
   
   >For me, it's the atomization. This place has never been my country. Never felt like it. I dont have a common heritage or culture with my neighbors. Sure, maybe that was intentional, but it doesnt mean I can just force myself to see past it, to care about every paper tiger "muh second amendment" conservatard that thinks voting is the answer or the local soyjak liberals that cry watching romantic comedies, regardless of what race they are. They, the vast majority of people in this country, are just not my tribe, so why should I try to "save" them?
   
   >Perhaps we are doomed to be Orwell's last men. The atomization I've known most my life. I've felt more excluded now and no one knows how to interact anymore. It's all gone cold. Outlasting the collapse without giving in to the beast system is really the only plan I have, so far. If I die alone, so be it. At least I die free.
   
   >Stop worrying about society and the country and start worrying about your life and those immediately around you. If you can build a bigger network than that good on you, but its not realistic for everyone. You've come to terms with what the real situation is. It feels like a curse but it's a blessing. You don't have to waste mental effort on it anymore.
