    We’ve been fascist since our founding. What do you think manifest destiny was? Where do you think hitler got his ideas from? He was greatly inspired by our treatment of native Americans and blacks.

    Im involved in my community. I refuse to pay back my student loans, I refuse to pay federal taxes. I’ve campaigned for candidates before only to see them steamrolled by the DNC.

    Electoralism and democracy are failures. This isn’t a democracy and you take way too much comfort in your illusion of choice.

      Lol, something can be bad without being fascist. Words have meaning.

      What do you think manifest destiny was?

      Colonialism.

      Where do you think hitler got his ideas from?

      Italy, America, Prussia, Britain, Napoleonic France, the Russian colonization of the east… it’s almost like this is a nuanced subject or something.

      Im involved in my community. I refuse to pay back my student loans, I refuse to pay federal taxes.

      Lol, the refusing to pay federal taxes either means…you are lying (most likely), you don’t have a job, or you will eventually be going to federal prison. My money is you are lying.

      Electoralism and democracy are failures.

      And bitching online has been real successful for you?

      If you’ve given up on nonviolent means, why aren’t you organizing a violent revolution?

      take way too much comfort in your illusion of choice.

      What an edge lord. I’ve never seen someone be so proud of doing less than nothing.

      I’m guessing that you, like everyone else who was comfortable voting third party… Are young, white, and male. The specific group that has no skin in the game, so they really don’t see how things can get worse. In fact, I’m sure you’ll have even more rights to do nothing with once Trump is elected, good for you.

      Must be nice to be privileged enough to not even engage in harm reduction.
