  • Ya’ll don’t seem to understand that “leagues better” can still mean that they’re complete trash. From US citizens I’ve spoken to you also, in general, have absolutely zero concept of being able to criticize the people you voted for. The Democrats are garbage and “informed and participatory” voters know this well. Also you talk about voting along party lines but Democrats will regularly have a couple people cross the line, just enough to make it look like they actually care but enough that he Republicans keep getting whatever they want.

    I do not envy the States for having their best option being such center-right dogshit.




  • Bro I didn’t catch up you literally responded to a comment about being in crowds of protests with “go in squads not crowds” and no further explanation. I said that because I already assumed that was your point and had to hand-hold you to lock that in otherwise this conversation was going to go even more nowhere than it was heading.

    With communication skills like that you’re not gunna be organizing anything, let alone thousands of “squads”.


  • If you can’t figure out what I’m talking about and how someone can use familiar ideas to make an explanation more approachable then maybe more complex strategy isn’t your thing.

    “Going out in squads” would only work with large crowds as a distraction if you had any level of organization and intent, which you would or it would be a fucking mess that you’d never control in the first place. You’d also be already at the guerilla warfare part of this revolution because what the fuck does that even mean when it comes to trying to show mass displeasure? Standing out front of ever politicians offices at once but never being remotely threatening because each “squad” can get its shit rocked one by one?


  • The problem is that, in D&D terms, you lose action economy that way. A thousand rats might only deal one damage each but all of them at once would obliterate even hardened adventurers.

    If people split into groups then yea, the police and whatever would need to prioritize, but the groups could also be handled more safely. Two or three VERY LARGE crowds would be great, but “squads” of even twenty people, against a militarized force, would just be easy pickings. And it’s an exponential loss(just as much as adding people is an exponential gain) so it would be incredibly risky.



  • You don’t think retirement is a human right or at least should be? Like “congrats on working but you didn’t make enough and no I don’t care why so I guess you’ll be working until you die granny!” You can’t bust in here like claiming a higher level of morality and then saying “let’s pump the brakes on the healthcare a little I mean let’s not go *crazy amirite?”

    Anyway, these people voted for everyone not like them to lose their human rights, down to not allowing them to exist while queer or be born in the country to immigrant parents. And so when they lose them too, yea it’s pretty funny. They are getting what they asked for, including the cruelty they cheered on and/or brushed aside, and are crying about it because they aren’t the big strong tough guys they fantasize about being.
