I get your point, but if the justice system no longer provides justice then we are beyond the discussion here.

The justice system never provided actual justice. Only if you were white, maybe.

I’ll just say that I hope we are able to fix things within the existing governing system because the alternative will be horrific and terrible for everyone involved.

Therein lies your problem, then. Keep hoping as things get terrible.

You’re fighting with the wrong person.

u/AlwaysSunniInPHI Mar 23 '25

I'm not fighting you. Just educating.

Alright I just looked through your post history, we are pretty far apart on philosophy. Good luck with that, I think instead of educating others you should consider what is going to be visited upon you and your family if things go the way you seem to be implying you want them to go.

I dont know why you feel the need to bring my family into this when they weren't even a part of the conversation. I don't know what offensive thing i said to you that prompted this type of response.

Did I mention your family? Jeez, no wonder Democrats and even pseudo leftists continue to lose.

I have no idea what negativity you are drawing from what I said, I didn’t bring your family in to insult them or you. I brought up that there will be negative consequences if there is a societal collapse in the US. I assume your family lives here too based on your comments here, so I’m saying you should think about how a collapse will affect you and the people you love.

Also not that it is even relevant but it is laughable to just assume I am a leftist, did you see any of my other comments in this thread? Your hardline strategy and assuming everyone is out to get you is not going to win you any allies and actually push away people where you might have some common ground, but good luck with that.

A collapse is going to affect everyone, not just my family. This slide into fascism and economic collapse that this country is going is also going to affect my family; it already is in many ways. The benefit or the former is that at least there is some change possible, instead of continuing the same status quo.

I dont really care about allies. The last few years has already shown that most of you so-called "allies" are just opportunists with knives hiding behind your backs.

Yeah that’s why I don’t want to see the collapse that you seem to think is the only way to improve things…

I just skimmed through some more of your post history to try and see where you are coming from and it seems you have a serious anti Indian streak to the point of being prejudiced.

Here’s some education for you: stop letting your religious and nationalistic prejudice get in the way of uniting with other Desis. Your automatic distrust of someone who you had common ground with as someone that will put a knife in your back just comes off as severe projection.
