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 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.

        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?
