[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    That’s a good point. I grew up in rural Ohio a couple decades ago, and confederate flags were quite popular. In my youth, I remember going to one guy’s trailer to bring back some more beer, and every threshold in his trailer had a confederate flag. Many of the people in the little, almost all-white towns, were somewhat afraid of the somewhat bigger towns that had a decent black population. I still see similar things where I live now, where my older neighbors living outside of a major city, are somewhat afraid of the city. Curiously, I live in the actual south now, and don’t see confederate flags nearly as often than I did in rural Ohio.
