        It also makes bravery expensive (not that cowardice isn’t expensive in the long run)

        I trust that you’re an American.

        So am I.

          Well it’s not entirely untrue. But it is, because we lack a credible plan to fight under. We lack leadership. We want to fight, and we are stronger they they are, they are fucking cunts, we are stronger, when we untie.

            Be the change you want to see in the world.

            I’m drowning in organizing work and we need more people. Get involved.

              I want to brother, I want to help believe you me. There is not viable way to do so at the moment.

                If you think currently there’s no viable way but it might be easier in the future, I have a bridge to sell to you

                  In time a true leader will emerge that will raze and burn the oligarchy.

                The “viable way” is going to come one way or another whether you like it or not. If you don’t have a local org, make one.

          You are powerless to change anything in your own country, admit it! We need a new system, something something.

        Objectively incorrect take. You look really dumb right now. What exactly are Americans supposed to do? Protests do not work and the general population is not prepared or organized enough for armed struggle. Please explain exactly what you expect them to do.

        What is this aggressive response?

        It was clearly an observation, not an insult - there was no need to try start arguments off it.
