    Sorry, I don’t wanna get accused of being a “CCP Spy trying to sabotage destabalize America” and then DHS will declare my family as foreign terrorists, then have ICE raid my house and deport my dad, a non-citizen.

    Cuz in this country, whenever a non-white person does something, everyone who looks like that is getting targeted in hate crimes…

    Then the entire Chinese diaspora community would be like: “Why did this loser have to stir the pot and ruin it for the rest of us?”


    This problem on the white dudes who voted him in.

      They’re going to accuse you of that anyway so might as well take a few with ya on the way out. If we can all set a minimum of 3:1 them/us before we’re ghosted, we might be able to clear the field a bit and give our grandchildren a chance at building something better. 10:1 you get a plaque, 50:1 a statue, 100+:1 and they’ll mention you in text books.

          Our problems of a wealthy minority and a bigoted majority are intertwined. Wealth provides access to power, media/narrative control, and legal shielding. Some of the wealthy might actually be bigots themselves, others might personally not give a fuck but if that’s the ticket to power, they’ll punch it. Eliminating them is a part of the solution, but it’s not a “cut the head off the snake” solution. Americans with only two dimes to rub together would give them to the dirty rich demagogue who tries to fill the void you made eliminating the filthy ones, so long as the candidate promised more of the same hate. And all the while, that hater is spreading their bile in the communities actual people live in. How many of our mass shooters, vehicular crowd killers, and murderous cops were filthy rich? Both are a threat, but eliminating one does not doom the other.
