Dear world, most Americans can't, either.

It’s more like 50.0001% when looking at most polls.

“Reports say an ICE agent pulled a 6 year old child, a US citizen, out of a car and beat him to within an inch of his life, and then pissed on him. Then stripped his clothes off and fucked him. Then, he mailed shrapnel bombs to every one of the child’s friends.

51% of those surveyed said they felt that ICE’s actions were excessive.”

My unending madness comes from failing to understand that demonic 49%.

Some Americans most either support him or don't care.

"Lol just go assassinate him" fuck off.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Your entire country wishes they could have someone walk up their driveway so they could murder them. Because their second amendment.

So go fucking use your 2A rights and fucking do something about the fascist regime taking over your country.

Otherwise turn your guns over and shut the fuck up because your country is either gonna nut up and defend itself over an invasion of fascism or you're all a bunch of pussies.

Some people have supposedly tried, too.

I'm waiting to see what happens November through January. If this can be solved at the ballot box, that would be for the best.

If not, we may have to start learning more about the intricacies of Minecraft.

It would be yeah. I’m not confident but I hope it’s held and a fair one. Either way people need to get out to it and help those who can’t.

The only other way is peaceful shutdown. There’s nothing else…they can’t civil war their way out of it, that’d just be worse. A bloodbath which would fail and tear the country apart irreparably. There might be an argument for splitting, it isn’t through war.

You're the country that masturbates to gun violence and the rights to own them. Something about having them to fight tyranny or something.

So own up. What the fuck is the point of your 2nd amendment if you're gonna pussy out when it matters most?

You're asking the wrong person, I think that amendment is fucking bullshit

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Well, let’s be realistic.

I know, it’s frustrating, for years they, including the progressives, have taken shots at us about the rules our governments have because we don’t have guns. I absolutely get it. I’ve had them going at me for two days because I’ve pointed out they are where they are because they fail to vote. They expect and get a lot of passes they don’t offer others.

Truth is, they can’t go out and do civil war, they know it and so do we when we think about it. There’s enough to be critical about and yeah they get the shits when the mirrors held up and they’re fucking irresponsible but going the violent path isn’t their answer.

They need to do peaceful shutdown. I know there’s a few of them out there trying to put a plan to this, I’ve seen the discussions around here and other places. That’s their only solution now. 60% in the urban areas would be enough, in two weeks to a month they’d have senators, congress and half decent billionaires moving to act on it.

Unless they do get another fair vote…if they do, they need to get out in numbers, including helping and organising those who find it difficult to vote. Even if it’s a workday. A life is more important than a job and that’s where they’re at right now.

Your entire country for as long as I have lived for nearly four decades have masturbated over "the right to bear arms" and you can just shoot people whenever you want and guns guns guns.

Now when you're actually presented with an authoritarian regime, you want to pull all the "yeah but except..."

Your entire country is full of cowards and pussies. You spent decades leaning into your second amendment and when push finally comes to shove and you're faced with a fascist government and police mudering your own citizens in the streets, it's" umm actually that's not how the second amendment works".

America is a country of pussies.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 4 points 12 hours ago

Yeah…I’m not an American mate, you might be using an app which doesn’t tell you where I’m from

My comment however should have been enough to tell you I’m not an American
