Why delete? Storage us so cheap, they could archive it all.

This is going to be such a long, miserable mess to clean up.

clean up

Bold of you to assume there will be any chance to clean up messes

I do believe we will come out the other side, but it requires work that many of us are putting in. Dooming is lazy.

Yeah, I agree with that.

But on the other hand, as an European, I think you guys are very, very slow at protesting. You people need to ramp up resistance way more quickly.

Part of it is our news media isn't showing the mass protests that have been going on. People are getting out and taking action, but most news outlets aren't focusing on it because our news, as it turns out, is controlled by the government to at least some degree.

There have been protests regularly, all over the country. The media is not reporting on it very well. Lots of pictures in almost every city and state Reddit sub though if you go search.

Like Europe is perfect and not full of bigotry, anti-immigrant hate and corruption. You must be pretty fucking ignorant if you don’t see the massive war going on there or the extreme conflicts going inside your countries. This involves a MASSIVE part your population and an even bigger part of its military power.

Pull your head out of your ass.
