@randahl I appreciate the comments in this thread. It solidifies, even if only anecdotally, the on-the-ground anger that I wasn't sure that Europeans were feeling. As they should. I just wish the leaders would act and isolate the disease following Mark Carney's sober assessment.

Some of us knew everything was over the night of the election (and before it, if this unthinkable present came true). European leaders should have known it too. I hope for the world they're at that point now.

@wackJackle thx, we need facts to keep us sane

@wackJackle (1) I don't believe in any way that that is real. "Hey, there's a guy with Fucking Leaf Blower for no apparent reason. I'm going to spray toxic gas at him." yeahno. But (2) I appreciate the satisfaction it communicates.

@inthehands Step 1: Make life unliveable where your enemies live, 2: watch quality of life degrade until the moment when you can forcibly intervene for control to "save those who are suffering", 3: forcibly intervene for control to "save those who are suffering".
