      Lol. As a non-American, I appreciate your very accurate and quite humorous post.

      As much as I support the people of America, this isn’t my problem to solve. If you come to me with literally anything I can do from here to help you, I’ll do it.

      But don’t lump me in with you by saying “everyone”.

        Yeah, this whole unfortunate trend of authoritarian bullshit rearing its head is gratefully only relevant if you’re one of the unlucky few in the U.S., China, India, Canada, the U.K., Australia, Germany, Italy, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Belarus, the UAE, and like one or two others, admittedly. Sucks to be those guys.

      I mean damn I would be so fucking mad if I put my life on the line to protect freedom and a possibility for people in this country to pursue the american dream and now gestures to the dumpsterfire that is the US.

      I am already mad, I am mad for these vets just thinking about it, I have talked to so many vets that really would have given their life to an idea, to a social contract and pact to make things better for everybody, no matter their politics the conviction was as real as anything, I can’t imagine how mad I would be if I had actually served myself and put my ass on the line as one of those people… so I try to remind myself of that periodically to stoke my engine.

      How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!

      Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

        Yeah, my man here was just reliving the old days. Definitely find myself missing it here and there, but maybe just the clowns and not the circus.

      No you don’t understand, American liberalism that gave us fascism will save us from fascism! Don’t ask how many people were slaughtered for this flag!

      Liberals think posing with a flag stops fascism.

      This guy is protesting against ICE actions in the Chicago area.

      Honestly, it’s kind of brilliant. Deny the fascists this critical symbol that they’ve spent decades capturing by recontextualizing it as the revolutionary, anti-fascist symbol it was used as for decades before.

      This one photo makes a bunch of MAGAs big mad.
