America can never fall except from within because the rest of the world is simply unprepared to enter the Appalachian mountains and have drones spray painted to look like the General Lee drop IEDs made out of beer cans on them.

this is the kind of thing you can only really say honestly if you've very inattentive, or have been surrounded by people roughly as intelligent as you your whole life one or two encounters with extreme intelligence are enough to cure you of this nursery fantasy

You ever just sit in a dark room and feel like the darkness is the only thing that truly understands you. No fake smiles, no false hope. Just raw bitter silence…

there's a name for people trying to destroy or force their way inside government buildings, and a fitting response to that action, those words are on the tip of my tongue
