I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.

I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.

Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.

      Lmao. Yes, I care so much about what a fascist who views foreigners as lesser beings thinks, that I couldn’t help but read it! And his beliefs in the inherent superiority of Americans is just so compelling and persuasive, I just couldn’t think of any possible counterargument!

      No. I don’t lie. I dismiss everything he says out of hand because he is a fascist. And if you agree with him, then you are too.

      If you reject the very notion of equality, why on God’s green earth would I give a rat’s ass what you think?

      It’s utterly insane for you to call me “privileged” for believing in equality! If you reject equality, then by that logic what the fuck would it matter if I’m “privileged?” By your logic, that just means I’m better than you. Because fuck equality, right? Don’t try to co-opt left-wing language while rejecting the fundamental premises of leftism.

        I didn’t call you privileged because “you believe in equality” (whatever that means). I called you privileged because your only goal is to stroke the endless shaft of virtue signaling forever to your circlejerk friends while the US fucks up the whole world. At least you and your buddies can fellate each other ni self congratulatory ocean of virtuous jizz. You don’t care about Palestinians. They are just props you get to parade around as your circle jerk shield

          I didn’t call you privileged because “you believe in equality” (whatever that means).

          What it means is, for one thing, that I value the lives of Americans and non-Americans equally. Something your buddy over here explicitly rejects.

          It’s genuinely bizarre to me that you people keep trying to reach me or expecting me to join your party as if I shared any of your values at all. If you head over to Truth Social, you can find no shortage of people who will happily agree that Americans are inherently worth more than non-Americans, so you have a lot more common ground to work with. Why not talk to them? They’re much closer to you ideologically than I am.

          Also, I legitimately don’t know how I could possibly communicate this more clearly, but I do not care, at all, whatsoever, what you think of me. I don’t respect you at all. When I call you fascists, I mean it, and when you talk shit about me, it means as much as when the red brand of fascists talk shit about me. Y’all keep responding to me like you’re trying to shame me or something. It’s bizarre. Again, I have absolutely zero respect for you, I have negative desire for your approval.

          Legitimately, I keep telling you guys this straight out, I keep calling you fascists, and you keep not getting it. I don’t know what else I can possibly do to get it through your heads that I hate your fucking guts.

            Because you’re probably the biggest dumbfuck I’ve ever met on this platform and you don’t seem to grasp that running around calling everyone you don’t like a fascist/loyalist/genocider just makes you look like an even bigger dumbfuck than you already appear to be.

            You have no credibility. You can Google that word if it’s too big for you. Clearly you don’t know what credibility is or you wouldn’t keep torching every ounce of it you may have ever had.

            You’re not some social justice warrior standing up for the little guy. You’re a fucking moron with some of the dumbest opinions I’ve ever seen on the internet.

            You’re a pathetic little twerp and you need a big dose of reality to set you straight.

            Because these are all vacuous statements devoid of prescriptions.

            I believe in equality for everyone

            They sound good online for your pals. They just don’t contribute anything meaningful. We’re not trying to reach you. We’re just pointing out how useless you are, no matter how much you keep insisting to the world that you care about ____ [insert popular cause here] _____.

            You equate democrats to Republicans, yet you are uninformed about most of the topics because you can shield yourself behind Palestine (just the topic du jour) including how different the two parties approach middle east. I bet my life’s savings you don’t even know what is actually going on there.

            Wed all take you more seriously if at least you had some semblance of a prescription, but you don’t even have that. The most useless of vacuous performative bullshit.

              Bruh. I do not care. Why would I proscribe you a course of action? Your values and goals are fundamentally incompatible with mine. Because I believe in equality, and you reject it.

              Am I useless? Good! I don’t want to be “useful” from your perspective, because I don’t want the same things you do. I have no interest in advancing or supporting, in “being useful” to your fascist agendas. I believe in equality.

              You can think that I’m being performative, you can think that I’m ignorant, you can think whatever the fuck you want about me. It does not matter. Your side in this discussion explicitly rejects the very notion of equality! You don’t even pretend anymore! Even if every single bullshit accusation you lobbed at me was true (which they aren’t), it’s still better to be a performative, ignorant, vacuous whatever, than to be a fucking fascist! It is better to try to do the right thing and fail than to try to do the wrong thing and succeed.

              As I said to the other person, do the world a favor and remove a fascist from it.

              What else is there to say?

                Yes. That’s exactly why you’re a moron that can’t hold a valuable conversation.

                As the other guy said, you know literally nothing. You’re trying to speak on subjects you know literally nothing about.

                You’re like one of those children’s toys with the pull string and all you can say when your string is pulled is some variation of “Save Palestine! You’re a fascist!”

        Blah blah blah. Words in people’s mouths because you’re too ignorant to speak intelligently on any subject.

        No. I don’t lie.

        You just alter what people have said to fit your narrative. So…lying?

        It’s funny because anyone that actually cares could look through my comment history and see that I regularly defend Palestinians and voted to try to limit their suffering as much as I could.

        Reviewing those comments would prove that you’re a lying sack of pathetic shit that has to rely on lying about people’s past comments, hoping that others won’t go digging to confirm that you’re a lying sack of pathetic shit.

        You’re a perfect example of why .ml users have the reputation that they do.

          Didn’t I already tell you? I’m proud that we have the reputation we do, among your kind. I take this as a compliment.

          Keep telling me how much you hate me, and I might start reading your whole comments. It fills me with pride that despicable, worthless, supremacist trash like yourself hates me. If you didn’t hate me, I would wonder what I’m doing wrong.

          "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal." If you reject that, then you aren’t even a liberal. What else could you be but a fascist?

            I’m well aware that the ignorant are typically proud of their ignorance.

            Keep telling me how much you hate me

            Yeah I hate you. But there’s more to it than that. I also feel sorry for you. You clearly didn’t receive a proper education. Or maybe you did but just weren’t paying attention. You’re an embarrassment to your family and humanity as a whole. I feel depressed that people like you walk the Earth with the rest of us.

            Morons like you elicit a lot more emotions than just hate, unfortunately.

            “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.”

            Hey look, the moron can repeat literally the most well known phrase of the most well known document. Imagine what you could do if you actually educated yourself. You could actually learn how our government works!!! Wouldn’t that be wild?

              I feel depressed that people like you walk the Earth with the rest of us.

              Oh, wonderful! Great! Maybe you’ll get depressed enough to rid the world of a fascist, like I suggested.

              Hey look, the moron can repeat literally the most well known phrase of the most well known document. Imagine what you could do if you actually educated yourself. You could actually learn how our government works!!! Wouldn’t that be wild?

              Dumbass, this doesn’t have shit to do with “how the government works.” You view foreigners as unequal, as subhuman.

              I genuinely don’t know how I could communicate this any more clearly. You are still operating on the assumption that we’re on the same side, share the same values and objectives, and that our disagreement is just about how to achieve those objectives. That is completely, utterly wrong. I disagree fundamentally with what you want to achieve. We are not on the same side, at all. It’s not that I’m not using the tactics you want because I don’t understand things, it’s because the things I’m trying to achieve are fundamentally different from what you are trying to achieve. Because, once again, I believe in equality, and you explicitly don’t.

              How many fucking times do I have to call you a fascist before you get it through your thick fucking skull that I’m not on your side?

                  Zero, because I never fucked kids or said anything that would imply that.

                  Meanwhile, you explicitly said that the lives of foreigners are worth less than Americans, so you are a fascist.
