    Nothing was ever preventing that.

    Gotcha, so this is a tacit admission everyone in the USA is just a giant pussy out to save themselves, with no concern for the collective. Because we’ve been turning our tails and letting Trump get away with what-the-fuck-ever for literally over a decade now.

    No wonder this country is falling to fascism.

      Our communities were sold, literally, to capitalism and marketing. Free community spaces and events are encroached on every day. That’s why they want to defend libraries, for instance - too much free shit being given out. You can’t even organize at a library because you’re supposed to be quiet there. It’s just that capitalism seeks capital in everything including free services. So it takes little bites off everything until we don’t have benches or bathrooms or trash in parks anymore because we can instead force people to pay to use those services at the nearby gas station or whatever.

      This country is falling to fascism because we literally do not have things like free spaghetti socials anymore. We have no community. If the cemetery worker had neighbors who cared about her and were part of her community, they’d look out for her and she’d be safe.

      Go to your town hall and demand more free community events. This will fight fascism.

      Bruh, you weren’t even willing to risk your bank account to set up a gofundme for the lady, but here you are telling her to risk her life? Aren’t you also in the same group, then?
