My great-grandfather would lose his shit if someone had told him that feds would be invading states against the wishes of the local governments. We forgot what America is supposed to be.

His past few vids were not even very convincing AI, he's barely hangin on. When I was a kid my dad's friends would joke about the decripit soviet leader being strapped to a 2x4 and dragged out for public appearances. Well well well how the tables have turned

The only reason he didn't go full fascist the first time is because he had somewhat competent people who wouldn't let him. Read books from his former cabinet if you actually care. He ordered his people to shoot protestors in the legs. The order was refused because he had an actual American working for him.

He had an entire false set of votes ready to be confirmed in 2020, his VP refused. His mob attempted an armed insurrection. He pardoned them all. But that's different from fascism for some reason? Fuck that, words mean things and I'll be damned if I let the dumbest group of people that America has ever puked out tell me what it means. The "peaceful" (are you for real?) transfer of power happened AGAINST his orders and wishes, not because he was such a nice and non-fascist politician. I don't think you're stupid, stop with the bad-faith "acksuallyy" nonsense. Be an adult.

Do you actually think like that, or do you just like the guy so you cherrypick "facts" to fit your narrative. Enjoy it broski, they'll come for you. They always do. I'm willing to bet you've already thought twice about saying certain things in public. In America. They hate you as much as they hate immigrants. Hope you wake up in time, if for no other reason then for your own sense of dignity.

Now this is just me, but I have never said "You guys have called me gay like 45 times so maybe I'll just go blow dudes since the word is losing meaning!".

Fascists are gonna do fascist shit no matter what we say, but they NEVER get to steal words. Fascism has a definition. Please, look it up, study it, and come back here talking about how using the term fascism is an overreaction. Please. I would love to have that talk. We can go point by point.

You must have a safe and comfortable life, with friends who have never been threatened by this system. Enjoy that, but allow the creeping realization that it is temporary gnaw at your mind. Listen to that voice. You're not special. You'll get to see the inside of a black-site soon enough. They'll find a reason, some shit you said in 2015, doesn't matter. They'll just do it. You think this is a joke? You think America could just never?

We have a fascist government currently which is increasing in its scope daily. Talk shit about Israel, talk shit about that piece of shit that got got in Utah, see how unfascist we are currently. Only until you inconvenience the system, then you're fucked. Maybe you like living in perfect line with arbitrary rules. Maybe you should go work for them. Congrats on not having loved-ones in direct danger from it. Say it with your chest if you disagree, none of that mealy-mouthed semantics BS. Or support it with your chest. But enough of this "You can't call everyone fascists durrrrrr" bullshit. Ya, we fucking can when they behave as fascists. Mussolini was voted in. Hitler was elected. Know how many people talked about "overreacting" and using words which are too severe. Enough to get them elected. You. Are. Not. Special. And neither is your country. Act like a grown-up and stand on what you believe. Either put on the gray hugo boss suit or actually work to affect change with the rest of us. Your choice, but it's one you'll have to live with forever.

Linux, your time has finally come

This will backfire.

It's one banana Michael, what can it cost, $10?

Bill Burr is the only one that really got to me. I loved that guy. But I just can't see him the same way anymore

Thanks for the reference, most of that side of the family died in pretty quick succession so these memories are just what my mind can contain. tbh Swan Lake 24/7 might do more to heal our nation than the news onslaught we get. My dad died in '16, about 3 months before Trump got in, and I'm almost happy he didn't have to see it. He was a lifelong republican but he was also a WWII buff, I'd never seen him actually afraid of a politician until then. I've been traveling the world since I was 17, he used to be terrified for me, but during that campaign he started encouraging me to spend more time abroad.

Israel proponents control Paramount, Reddit, Meta, CBS and now Tik Tok. What do YOU mean? What tf do you actually mean?

ZIONISTS.

Do you understand that this is a word with a different meaning from Judaism? Like, if I said "Theocratic-Christian", is your first thought "Sounds like a conspiracy meant to smear all Christians."? Or do you have the critical thinking skills to understand that there is more than one sect of any religious belief? Because the other option is that you are intelligent, but just like to bend words in order to score semantic victories while your soul withers under the weight of the horrors which you choose to defend. That can't be it, I don't think you're an evil guy,

Jews have been here for thousands of years, half of my family was Jewish, everyone aside from my great-grandparents on one side died in the camps. We don't control shit.

ZIONISTS are religious ethno-supremecist racists who have been around for roughly 100 years. My grandmother is older than Israel. And the outlets which I named are clearly and objectively controlled by ZIONIST interests. If you don't like that, do something to change it instead of just pouting when others mention it.

If you hear Zionism, and conflate it with Judaism, that's not anybody's problem but yours.

They're keeping us separated by race. As long as it's "inner-city thugs" aka black people or latinos, the majority of rural America can handle it until it's too late especially if they only consumer curated propaganda. Well, that's what they hope. the people in charge of this are actually pretty fucking stupid though. Let's show them how wrong they are.

Dude I grew up socialist at heart, my great-grandpa was at the ford riots where people got shot.

But this shit nonsense that tankies spew make me almost want to rebrand my beliefs. You can't just say that atrocities didn't happen because you like the general philosophy of the political system. (Even though it was communism for exactly 3 minutes before sliding into good ol' authoritarianism)

I get the same shit talking to some super pro china folks. Yes, amazing leaps and technological bounds are happening and socially a lot of commendation is due. I am really, really in awe of some of their progresses. But it's really really weird how they go into full-on denial mode if I mention that one time a local mayor or whatever farted during a town hall. That apparently becomes "western propaganda", no matter how happy I am to talk shit about the shortcomings of my country as well. Blind nationalism makes me really crazy. And I'm American who's lived in Asia for a long time so I can really feel it when they're just talking shit. I grew up with mindless US propaganda, and have spent the past 20ish years hearing Asian "never ever lose face" "everything is fine and always has been fine forever aside from that one time when we defeated the despicable enemy of our glorious party!!!!!

Guys it's just as stupid to hear from your nation as it is to hear from the US. We're all flawed. Admit it so we can continue to improve instead of locking into a shitty system so we don't offend the great grandfather of the nation or whatever dumb thing. Be yourself ffs. A lot of people from the past were horrible dicksuckers and you should have more confidence in your own personal ideas, be careful choosing idols. Most of them were just shitbags who ended up the victors. And as we all know, history i written by the victors.

*Not directed at you Bruce, just taking the chance to yell at tankies.

You sleep alright at night? Gonna be peaceful when the end of your old age comes as it will for us all? Think real hard, you only have this one chance to be against evil. Use it. Or don't, but you don't get to pretend you didn't know. If you have a god, he is not fooled.

Also you guys sound so dumb. "Oh this is so left! We need our own platform without so many lefties!!!" "Oh there is so much pro palestine propaganda, this sucks!"

Like dude maybe you are just in the minority of shitty people with shitty ideals? Maybe that's why you can't find peers without lurking into the truly dark parts of the internet. Maybe if you actually met your contemporaries with whom you agree in real life, you would be horrified. Maybe, just maybe, the problem is you. I know, what a hard concept for a fully grown adult to grasp. take all the time you need. So work on it or decide to never be an adult. Like I said, it's not any of our problem, it's yours to live with for eternity. If "being ok with dead kids" is your legacy, stop being a pussy and own it. Tell us, tell us you like it. Say it clearly. I can clearly state my beliefs without a hint of shame. Imagine what that must be like? It's nice, you can get there too, but nobody's gonna hold your hand. This post s probably the most help you will ever get. Good luck.

Coming to a backwater American state near you. Trust me, I grew up in it. They are salivating to implement the Christian Taliban.

Biggest pussies on the planet. Anyone can shoot a gun you fucking chuds.

The emperor has no clothes, and the frogs are starting to notice that maybe the water is a little hotter than it's worth.

Yeah I know, it's a huge problem right now. Antisemitism is rising in a dangerous way and if you want to blame someone, his name starts with B and ends in enjamin Netanyahu. Or "The Decades-Long Funder of Hamas" as he is sometimes known.

That's what I mean, this conflation with insane Zionists like Bibi or Ben Givr or Smoltritch or Larry Ellison or settlers in the West Bank with the religion of Judaism is the #1 cause of increasing antisemitism. Nothing even comes close. When humans see evil, we want it to stop, go figure huh?

Like you said "Sounds a lot like 'jews control the media'.". Yeah, because Zionists are making it their entire goal to do that. They are talking openly about it. Not Jews, Zionists. Listen to Bibi's cringy-ass recent speech about controlling the media narrative. They are saying that this is what they are doing. They are intentionally making the conflation so that people like you, can come on here and claim that anti-zionism is antisemitism. In this way, they can continue their genocide. I made my choice, because I am an adult. I don't care what they call it. Have you?

We see every day unspeakable atrocities, and the leaders of the nations responsible for this go on TV and tell us all that it is hateful to Jews if we stand against this evil because the perpetrators are Israeli. So people are given the choice, by Zionsts, to either stand against evil or be labeled antisemitic.

Do you see the problem here?

Israelis are waking up too, you ever wonder why there is always a magic reason to postpone elections whenever Bibi is on the block? He will never stop war by choice. If it stops, he retires in prison, and he knows this. He is using you.

Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhhh gtfoh you're gonna stand there, look me straight in the eye, and say that the Russian-aligned German Nazi Party is seeking closer ties with the dying Russian-aligned American Nazi party??? Well now I've heard everything.

One time I came home drunk at night and had a campfire out back. For some reason, I had the urge to burn a few dollar bills that I had in my pocket, I think because money was such a concern for me at the time and the simple act of burning a few of these life-tickets upon which we all depend felt freeing.

Now this, I would invest in a torch and smelting pot for these ones. Or stamp Epstein on the other side and leave them strewn about.

Honestly I like the conversations here, it reminds me a lot of the old internet.
