Dude was right about a lot of things. ... way more than I wanted him to be.

All the crazy boomers of the 60s and 70s gained political power in CA and worked their way into schools

My entire education here has been nothing but propaganda

@KenneticEnergy FFS!

I used to love America growing up (I’m from the UK) but I must admit I fell victim to the propaganda even here. I would still move there even if the collapse is coming

I was lucky that I avoided the worst of it.

You have two classes here @Deleted User the people who are hella rich and own plantation wineries (cause they use illegals as slaves basically)

And the poor/barely getting by, who can barely afford rent and food. If that

Most of the poor have decided to say “fuck it” and just live on the street tbh

@KenneticEnergy the weathers nice enough for it I suppose

It is.

Like I’m not kidding @Deleted User where I grew up, you had mansions flanked by like.. tiny shack houses from the 60s in neighborhoods right near each other

And that's a big problem.

The difference in wealth was insane

Fucking taxes

I was really lucky and grew up middle class. We weren’t rich but I had it good

Chapagne socialists and poor empoverished commies

Like finacially poor

I had a good, dear friend who lived in the mansion neighborhood near my suburb. His dad owned 2 Chevy dealerships, and it’s 2008

Housing bubble bursts and GM takes a nosedive

Uh oh

His family moved like 3 times, and I didn’t put two and two together until he told me they lost a couple mil on their house

On a tangent, its kinda fucked up how you cant buy new cars directly from the manufacturerer

@Deleted User this state is a golden cage, it’s beautiful but living here is hell

I’m leaving for Texas next year.. hopefully. If things work out

@KenneticEnergy do it. Just work as much as you can until then. It’s only a year of your life

Yeah I’m saving up and applying to nursing school there, so here’s hoping

I’ve given up on this state. No one wants to fight for lower taxes or gun rights or any of that. Its basically foregone now

@KenneticEnergy tv really did screw people’s minds eh

CA should be a lesson to the rest of the country tbh

Its only a matter of time until texas turns into commiefornia on the gulf coast, as the people who flee turn it into the same shithole they fled from

@Deleted User that, and education

@Artemis Texas is a battleground now. That’s why I’m moving to help the resistance

But tons more Californians are flooding Austin and turning the state blue

@KenneticEnergy there needs to be shame attached to being a commie

Retarded that they’re doing that to Texas!

Makes me mad

I sense that the reimagined series bsg quote is fitting, for women rights especially, all of this has happened before and will happen again

Hopefully the Supreme Court hears those gun control cases and lifts some of those off our backs

But I’ll be moved out by then I think. I miss shooting

Living in CA literally made me give up shooting. They made it too expensive and impractical
