          The problem is finding enough people who don’t mind probably getting killed. That’s generally why revolutions don’t happen until the people are starving and have nothing left to lose.

          America likely still has a while to go before that point.

            Not as long as you think. We’re really close to a recession the likes of which multiple generations have never seen. Most people can just barely get by on what they’re making, the promise of put the work in and life will reward you has been disproven time and time again.

            And if he fucks up tax returns bad enough, it could be as close as a month or two away. We’re honestly at the point where we should be taking bets on whether a blood clot or an angry mob takes this fucker out first.

        If fear repels you, they win. There is no glory in death but if you fuck em up first. What are they going to do, die again?

            I live in a nation that doesn’t have ICE. And I am not going to solve it for the americans. Plenty of guns per person, have at it.

            I do like the Black Panters. They got the gist.

            “You didn’t shoot someone yet? How can I possibly take you seriously.”

            This is the argument you are making and it’s preposterous.

              If you’re criticizing people for not doing something you’re ostensibly unwilling to do, that’s the preposterous argument.

              Be the change you want to see in the world. Otherwise fuck off criticizing people who don’t want to die.

              That’s with a royal ‘you’ since I know you’re not the person they responded to.

                The problem with that argument is that people who have done that aren’t here to argue with you. You are stuck with those of us who haven’t been imprisoned shot and killed yet.

                Your gatekeeping basically means nobody can be taken seriously until they are no longer capable of making their argument.

                That exactly the kind of shit Nazis push.

                  I don’t think you know what gatekeeping is.

                  Saying it’s wrong to shit on people for not doing something you’re unwilling to do yourself isn’t gatekeeping. It’s calling out hypocrisy.
