It's still just asking fucking questions, just sarcastically to make a point, but still just asking questions. Question everyone has known the answers to for almost a decade. It's useless nonsense. Go DO SOMETHING.
Then grab a gun and shoot someone you think is responsible. "Everyone has known who the problem is for almost a decade". Unless you're not a part of "everyone", that means you know and have also done nothing for almost a decade.
A lot of people are reasonably angry, and you might be one of them, but that doesn't justify such a disrespectful attitude to someone else coming to terms with the same events. The same things preventing you from becoming the firebrand of the next subsection of this history chapter might be stopping them as well.
But, in their case, they openly poke at the collapsing façade of oligarchic conspiracies instead of just yelling at everyone on the internet that isn't doing what someone thinks they ought to.
Why is the solution always killing people? Do something doesn't mean murder. This isn't Rambo FFS. Go meet with your peers and discuss what you can be doing. Regularly contact your reps and demand answers and action and guidance. Find out who in your social life approves of Trump and make it messy for them.
I know Americans love guns but murder isn't the answer to all your problems.
So you're not against talking around the crisis, you just hate rhetorical questions. Weird hill to plant your flag on, but go ahead.
I hate people who can't move on from asking rhetorical questions to the next thing to do that helps the situation. Asking rhetorical questions didn't stop Trump a decade ago and it won't today. It's just useless social media performance.
