Thunderlips and Adel, are you even American? I know Mr. C is, but it seems like a good chunk of people losing their minds over this aren't even Americans.
We are in Korea, most of us here anyway. It is possible to be worried about violence from these extremists groups rather than the actual collapse of American society.
I imagine it's more that they're the only ones willing to engage with you, American or not. As an American I wholeheartedly disagree with most things you've said here over the last few days here. And though I have started typing responses to you, I decided that it'd be a waste of my time, energy, and sanity. So as an American, I'm content with them arguing with you.
It's mid January and you're already declaring victory? As I said, we are one Jussie Smollet away from this being completely blown off the front pages.
Question- As an American, in response to this, what actions or preparations have you and your family taken and is this widespread?Also, how would you compare all of this to the Vietnam era in terms of tension and genuine chance of upheaval?
And Martini continues to flood the zone with bullsh*t! Is that the name of your book?
what actions or preparations have you and your family taken and is this widespread?
I'm curious as to what thought process in your brain allows you to declare something "bullshit"

Some Americans remembered their history lessons from previous generations. The similarities between some Americans thinking now and 1930’s germany is apparent. I also am disgusted but not surprised with the hypocrisy of trump and his mindless followers who are so intent to overthrow an election based on their own lies and propaganda. They claim blue lives then kill a cop, they claim freedom and try to destroy it and they claim authoritarian rule over democracy. Yes I am American, and I have serious misgivings about returning home with my family.
“Gobbledygook”. I think that’s the name of Marty’s book which is just a collection of randomly thrown together stream of consciousness diatribes.
fwiw my (non-white) friends have been talking in our group chat about how everyone should just stay home when the crazy whites come to the city to do their protest
I must not have been clear, Mr. DeMartino:And though I have started typing responses to you, I decided that it'd be a waste of my time, energy, and sanity.I just came here to make you aware that I exist. A person that disagrees with you and agrees with these potential 'non-Americans'. BUT, and again I say, because reading comprehension is godawful on this site: I decided that [arguing with you would] be a waste of my time, energy, and sanity.
Welp, since you called me out by name twice, you opened this can of worms so you don't get to call it off. If you didn't want to deal with me, should have stayed quiet and not mentioned it.I just want to say that the post above is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance- Pertinent questions that 1) seeks to clarify whether the person's actions match their rhetoric (i.e. If you say hurricanes are coming, but you're renting a beachfront for the weekend, then don't expect people to take your view seriously) 2) Whether you have put this in any historical context regarding danger and threat and rather than addressing them, the person just shuts down because they understand that addressing them would make their point not as strong.Those ARE important considerations for the topic. Your response to them has basically been to jam your fingers in your ears and declare yourself above it all...after you chose to come down into the muck.You don't get to call someone out then declare that they should leave you alone and that you won't respond. That's what a coward does. If you're going to dish it out, be prepared to take it.
Some people would rent a beachfront property when a storm is coming though; meteorologists, storm chasers, surfers, trumpers if the storm is from msm....
The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff reminded American forces Tuesday of their oath to defend the Constitution following the attacks on the Capitol building last week.The letter was addressed to the joint force, which is made up of about 1.3 million active-duty service members and more than 811,000 National Guardsmen and reservists — all of whom swore an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.""The violent riot in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process," the memorandum said. "We witnessed actions inside the Capitol building that were inconsistent with the rule of law. The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection."
Yes, the proportionate response to what happened is to declare it sedition and insurrection. Lets follow it up with some drone strikes and mass hangings. The scumbags who beat the cop deserve felony murder charges. The people who brought guns into it with the intent to go after the cops deserve stiff felony charges. The people taking selfies and vandalizing? Charge them with unlawful assembly, criminal trespass, vandalism and larceny.But is this truly about safeguarding the Republic or vengeance?
