      I’m talking about the US?? Our votes are totally ignored and working class people have no representation in government. Why is that my fault? It has been like this since I was born and I have no way to meaningfully change it.

        Why are you and others in your position not organizing and rioting?

        The answer, I expect, is that you’re not willing to risk the relative comfort you enjoy.

        That’s on you.

          I’m genuinely astonished by your lack of empathy but I don’t know why I expected solidarity from you. I expect that you will continue despising me while your country comfortably hosts our dictator, who your politicians will ass kiss and pander to.

            So, no answer?

            I ask again. Why are you not rioting?

            I have as much empathy for you as I have for Russian and Israeli citizens. As much empathy as I would have had for your average German in 1939.

              Holy fuck.

              A transgender man just permanently lost his eyesight fighting against ICE

              It’s all over the news. Multiple people shot and maimed.

              You know what man? You managed to totally side with the Gestapo, claiming that I deserve to be oppressed by my own government because they’re able to beat me up, while simultaneously claiming that I’m the real Nazi. Fuck you.

                  I cannot and will not discuss doing anything in my real life online with you, and you absolutely should not either, if you legitimately believe that we are discussing something of any legitimacy. You should not be expecting me to answer you.
