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.

    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!”

      You’re boring, bruh. You’re too dumb to be anything but.

          Give me more!

          Can I give you some books and cross my fingers you have the reading comprehension to make it through them so you can crawl out of the IQ hole you’ve trapped yourself in?

            Hah! A liberal fascist who reads books! I just want to know what you’re going to recommend. What passes for liberal fascist theory? Harry Potter? Mein Kampf?

              A text book. A single text book would transform the life of a moron such as yourself.

              It would be a beautiful thing to witness an ignorant fool such as yourself blossom into a well-adjusted, informed citizen with valuable and interesting opinions.

              Alas, it appears you’re far too stupid to pull yourself up out of the trash heap you call your life.

                Lmao! I knew you were bluffing! Can’t name a single book to recommend, because you dumbasses don’t read shit.

                Check another box for you being a fascist: ✅ Doesn’t read

                  because you dumbasses don’t read shit.

                  Little bitch, you weren’t even aware a 3rd party candidate can’t win the presidency. It doesn’t get dumber than that. If you’d learned to read you would have seen the 0.5% next to Jill Stein’s name.

                    Of course I see the 0.5%. I understand your reasoning, your train of thought, your assessment of the situation, your strategy, etc. Obviously! How could I possibly not? You cannot live in this country without being exposed to mainstream ideas.

                    The thing you don’t get, because you don’t actually read shit, is that critiques of that strategy exist, which I have read and agree with. I understand the way you think completely. I just disagree with it and agree with other ideas, ideas which you are ignorant of.

                    I have no interest in explaining any of that to you, for reasons I already explained in my first response to you. You explicitly reject my values, you are aiming to achieve fundamentally different things from me, I have zero respect for you anyway, and as a diehard party loyalist you would never listen to reason.

                    The reason that you hate me so much is very simple. You have this pretense, this self-image, of being smart, intellectual, progressive, etc. But it’s bullshit. As proven by the fact that you can’t name a single book to recommend me. The only way to maintain that image is when the only people to compare yourself to are MAGAts. Then, people like me show up, who actually do read books, who actually do hold progressive values, and suddenly, that whole bullshit image of yourself collapses. That’s the reason why you hate me. That’s the reason you wish I was never born. That’s why you call me “idiot” and “moron” and say I don’t read, because you are desperately trying to reassert your bullshit, inflated, pseudo-intellectual self-image.

                    But, as I said from the start, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t need me, stop whining about what I do. If you do need me, give me what I want. If you just wanna butt your head against a wall, knock yourself out. You will get nowhere with me.
