    That’s a nice excuse to give up and let fascists drag your neighbours off to El Salvador.

    Land of the Free. Home of the Brave. Yet here you are whining “but it’s haaarrrrddd”. Fucking grow up. It’s called a fight for freedom for a reason. It’s not easy.

        It’s the war cry of the subservient American citizen! Look this little one is out here all on its own. Remarkable.

            Since it’s so important what I’m doing… I mean I’m not American so not yet under the reign of an uneducated neppo baby, felon and crazed dictator but here goes.

            I voted. Just a slight reprieve for us though. I am organized with local mutual aid organizations. I have collected all the advanced medical supplies I can afford because I am trained to use them but disabled so on limited income. I’ve sighted the .303 and the 12 gauge and filled shells. I’ve collected all the new gear I can and made sure my old beater farm truck and old ATV have oil changes and good tires. I have also organized with like minded Canadians worried about American military incursion into Canada upon your dictator repeatedly claiming he wished to annex us. We grow our own food and bring anything extra we may have to local families in need like us which helps us organize locally with those who need the most assistance resisting. We barter outside the monetary system whenever we can as opposed to feeding corporations, banks and oligarch’s whims. I protest and organize my fellow citizens in multiple platforms to resist and stand up to unconstitutional and authoritarian laws that are being passed in my country. I tried offering suggestions as to what you in murica a can do but I am just met with excuses and hatred as usual. And the cries of the passive. “They’ll massacre us”, “I can’t NOT go to work”, “the politicians need to save us”…

            Your turn.

      Lots of people are willing to foment civil war part 2 but very few are willing to fight in it.

      It’s kinda like how most Americans think that it would be better for the country if more people worked in factories, but none of those same people polled want to work in the factories themselves.

          Yeah, I dunno. I never worked in one myself and I don’t want to. But I also wouldn’t be going around talking about what a great thing it would be if everyone worked in factories so 🤷.

        You either fight for your democracy or your lose it. That’s the situation you’re in, whether you like it or not.

        How do these people make it into adulthood

        Saying crap like this is defeatist and putting down people willing to fight and who call for others to do the same is helping the fascists. Which side are you on? It’s your choice.
