    The detachment is more of a defeatism issue. When you have zero power to affect change, what the hell else can you do but work through the day and try to not have a breakdown?

    Mind you, I vote when that comes around, I just don’t have the mental fortitude anymore to not be detached. Don’t have the time or space to do more than that, which is rather by design I expect.

      you have zero power to affect change

      I vote

      So which is it? If we’ve got nothing to lose but our chains, then maybe we should “break down” together at strategic times.

        Both obviously. I did my part and sanity lost in the US. I continue to have no meaningful power.

        Our lives are also on the list to lose. The health and well-being of those that depend on us as well. Losing our chains is great if that’s really all you have to lose.
