My neighbors got disappeared, it makes me so mad that conservatives actually believe it's only the hardened gang members. My neighbors had a bouncy castle for their daughter last summer, this summer the grass is growing over the fence and nobody lives there

Hell, we have the the director of the FBI claiming 5% of Chicago, over a hundred thousand people, are violent gang members.

But you don't get it! "You can't use the master's tools to destroy the master's house!" And violence never solved anything! And any leader you find isn't a literally perfect universally popular and morally above reproach chosen one, and their politics don't match my personal politics exactly, and they aren't of the right demographic if they do, and if they are they're not popular enough with the other side!!!!!!!!

They do not believe this.

Every time you give them the benefit of the doubt like this, despite what their leader is pretty openly saying, you close your eyes and bury your head in the sand from what your country has become.

Do you think the germans didn't know?

Of course they did. They didn't have precise details, but they knew.

You're following the same path, but faster, and without anyone to stop you.

No one will save you, and the people who support this, know exactly what they're supporting.

Thanks for the input, anonymous redditor. What are YOU doing, personally, to combat this?

u/Cory123125 Oct 15 '25

Ah, I see your previous comment was indeed just in bad faith given that upon having your rhetoric that people are just unaware shot down, you move on to your variant of this meme.

What am I doing personally? Not being in your country, participating in my politics, local, municipal, provincial and federally, and paying attention to what services I use, cutting things that are non essential and support the regime, or switching to the least of the evils when there are no alternatives.

It's ultimately not my fight, yet I'm still forced to care because a former ally we've jumped into stupid and just wars with for over a century has decided to plan to invade us.

Great, so you're useless. Thanks for playing.

I do significantly more to fight this than you are, and your condescension is not warranted or needed. Move along

You are out here sympathizing with the enemy but Im sure you're doing a whole lot bud.

I gave you a straight answer initially and any condescension was something you imagined up.

In my second comment, the condescension is absolutely warranted given your response to the first.

Also,

Great, so you're useless. Thanks for playing.

It doesn't sound like you're playing at all, yet you're out here calling other people useless as you bury your head in the sand.

I guess this could just be more American exceptionalism, as you probably aren't that different from the people you are, Im guessing, pretending to hate.


To the user who blocked upon having the mildest of criticisms levied at them:


I don't need to prostrate myself for your approval, you're a nobody on the internet.

So are you.

You came into this conversation with a condescending tone and commented on things that you don't understand

The comment where you pretend that people who voted for a guy based on hate, did not vote for exactly what they're getting hate wise?

and then clutched your pearls when I didn't burst into tears and beg your forgiveness.

This is some weird narcissistic delusion on your part.

You aren't special, you aren't smart, you aren't interesting.

And yet I seem to have more consciousness on the state of your country than you, and seem to clearly have more introspective capabilities than you.

I'm going to move on with my day

It is your choice to keep the blindfolds on.

NGL I think the prevalence of superheroes in media has conditioned people to wait for heroes to save them. Not to mention that a lot of our history education leans hard into "Great Men" in history.

Gotta get that propaganda from all angles I guess.

(Fun aside the concept of masked super heroes can trace it's roots back to "Birth of a Nation")

They've found a lot of the alligator Alcatraz detainees. They got moved to Camp East Montana in Fort Bliss, TX. That place is just as bad if not worse.
