Not white, but for my part I absolutely would not. Not in my vocabulary.

If someone else did, though, there are way better uses of my time and energy than wagging my finger and giving them a sanctimonious lecture about it.

Man, you’re quick. Multitasking over there- looking up references because you feel defensive, going back to my week old comments to post your cute takes.

Maybe… find something useful to do, guy. I’m going to block you, I think, just so that you’re not tempted to waste so much of your very important time on me. You could be using that time to find more ways to keep being part of the problem.

Of course you don’t. You’re a kid.

Don’t worry. The democrats will blow their advantage like they have without fail for a half-century- and you’ll still have the far-right around for you to play centrist with. 😘

Hey, Americans- just as an encore, go dig up Charlie Kirk and shoot him again.

I think he’s glitched out halfway between 1) trying to figure out something outrageous enough to say that would seem proportional to the electoral blowout, and 2) his simple-ass programming that defaults to “winners are good”

I hope he has a fucking stroke the next time he goes to honk out a dirt snake

And Fark!

You outnumber the police and you’re armed to the teeth. “The US military would just crush the population” argument is not particularly convincing either. You assume the military is some perfectly unified, ruthlessly efficient machine, which doesn’t describe the US military in foreign wars, let alone a domestic one.

Even the shitty GOP is unwilling to tolerate prolonged ground wars, casualties, recruitment problems, political backlash, and occupations of populations that are actually hostile to it. Yet somehow we are supposed to believe that the same institution would suddenly function flawlessly whe turned against your own citizens? The assumption that everyone would simply follow orders indefinitely while Americans were being killed in huge numbers is absurd. There’s a reason you haven’t sent soldiers in to occupy Tehran.

Eventually they would run into a very simple problem- if armed resistance was genuinely widespread, half-measures would not settle it. It would either have to escalate to levels of violence sufficient to kill Americans on an enormous scale, potentially millions, or it would have to back down / simply stop functioning. You also have the fact that your military has never been more poorly managed than it is right now.

Yes, the US military has vastly more firepower than civilians. Congratulations. Nobody disputes that. The question is whether it could politically, institutionally, and psychologically use that firepower against its own population on the scale necessary to win such a conflict- and if it’s your position that your own military WOULD do that to you, and that is why you are choosing not to act? Great- then your political morality is just one in which the government’s entitlement to your obedience increases in direct proportion to how willing it is to fucking kill you.

Wrong verb

Suicidal people who don’t take at least one fascist with them? World is better off without them anyway.

It’s more like 95% if you (correctly) consider inaction a form of tacit approval.

It was nowhere near excusable in 2016. You already had decades of information about who trump was and nearly a decade of the Tea Party showing you EXACTLY the kind of people they were.

YOU are okay with the current status quo or you’d be doing something about it.

It’s fine, get defensive if you want, but the truth is you are way too comfortable and refuse to risk that comfort to fix the problems you pay lip service to opposing.

Especially when they spent the last century dining out on a national myth of “give me liberty or give me death” and being belligerent fucking assholes about “freedom,” crowing about how they’re the BEST IN THE WORLD at defending it, insisted it was necessary to let children die in school shootings all the fucking time in order to be able to handle exactly this scenario- and also everyone else is a bunch of weaklings who only exist because Americans put their lives on the line to defend democracy, and fuck everyone else for even questioning it.

Yeah. That’s wild.

“Once it’s too late, our only recourse is the thing we could have done all along to stop it from getting to this point.”

This but unironically.

Tacit support by way of inaction is still support.

Let’s be real, it’s not as if America is interested in punching Nazis anymore. You might be surprised what people would cheer if you’d get off your cowardly asses and start taking action.

You know what, this one’s on me- i read as far as what sounded the standard Americansplaning of how “the electoral college makes us helpless” and stopped there.

I’ll leave my previous response there and take my lumps.

I’ll eat this one. I SO did not read the whole comment.
