Hey Boston, I expect better from you.
You see this shit, you give em the old Comm Ave Kisser, maybe a little Boylston Bop and a Haymarket Haymaker followed by a little Dropkick down at Fenway, know what I mean, guy? Tell em fuckin Sam Adams sent ya. And tell em to say hi to their mothers, wives, and daughters for ya.
re-reads... Yep. Clean as a whistle.
Edit: someone steal this and post it on Reddit and see if you get banned.
Oh yeah tough guy, you would have totally attacked those men and saved the damsel. Then everyone would have clapped and the mayor given you a medal.
If Americans were just 1% as tough as they pretend to be on the internet, Trump would have been overthrown by now.
Alas.
There's no useful discussion to be had from you. You're just looking for a fight.
I'm tired of reddit refugees coming here and bringing that attitude.
I'm an American who has never had that bravado, has always voted against this bullshit, and even online we get spat upon when we are the ones who will somehow have to overcome the largest military on the planet.
Fucking hell, try being, I dunno, useful or supportive. If we fail here, you'll face the consequences. That's the sad reality.
I'm not shouting in from the outside. I'm in the US myself. The student who got grabbed off the street? She didn't write half the shit I did. How's that for having a stake?
If I made you mad I've already been helpful. You will not face the largest military on the planet on account of that military comprised by your own countrymen. Other nations such as Canadians or Europeans will not be as lucky. I would also love to be "more supportive" for direct action, if you know where to start let me know because I don't.
Edit: Irrelevant to any of this, but I'm not a R*ddit refugee since I've been permabanned there more than a decade ago. I'm a /pol/ refugee. They banned me there as well, though nothing a DNS change couldn't fix. Just as well, 4Chan is even more of a fed honeypot than Plebbit.
Okay, fair. But we need to be allies in this. I don't know where to start either but I want us to pull out of it somehow.
Help build us up, please, and not tear us down. I apologize for discounting you. We can only move forward if we unify, and the left is goddamned bad at that.
No apology needed, I'm a dick. Just wish more people would be seething with rage about all of this as I am. Feels like the left is too placid, too timid, too laissez-faire with the great gift hard won with blood and iron by their forefathers.
I'm seething, but that isn't all that useful, I need to find a more productive way to be.
Hopefully we will get there. But we have to build before we can break down.
If that victory is won, and I do believe it can be, then we can rebuild better than before.
With climate change and everything else we face, can we realistically pull through? Fuck if I know, but this is literally the fight of our lives and futures. We have to unite, no matter how angry we are at various leftist factions.
Me? I assumed women would unify for their right to bodily autonomy. Since they didn't I don't dismiss them but hope to bring them into the fold, because they're needed and do not want to live as Handmaids, for one example.
My goodness, it keeps going!!
Seriously. Americans spent the last 50 years pretending to be the toughest most tyranny proof people in the world, and look at them. Exactly as pathetic as expected. Ffs.
