Sadly, I worry the US needs to suffer badly if there is to be any hope of embracing real progress in the future.

After the Great Depression happened the largest wave of worker protections and regulations were passed in US history.

So maybe you’re not wrong, we just need a Great Depression 2 unfortunately

Unfortunately, the US wasn’t a fascist state after the great depression.

Need to? Nope. Is that what will happen? Probably, looking like that’s the only way it will happen

@earphone843@sh.itjust.works · 2 months ago

If it’s the only way it’ll happen, then it’s what needs to happen.

So yes, needs to is correct.

I was simply adding to what you said, that it was all avoidable if so many Americans weren’t morons
