I mean, what’s your alternative plan of action? Bitch about it online because there isn’t a perfect solution gift wrapped and ready?
Wish for the end of the current system while contributing nothing of consequence yourself?
You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
Keep being a good little fucking American paying your taxes so that your whole system could protect the rich pedophiles. All of this is such cuck behavior 😂😂
That’s my point man. If you’re not a Russian troll bot, then you’ve certainly eaten the propaganda.
You’re just gonna sit there on your ass and keyboard and do nothing. What’s even worse is while you advocate violence, you yourself are unwilling to get your own hands dirty, instead relying on riling up others in the hopes some revolutionary Messiah appears to deliver you. And this is assuming you’re actually American.
I’d have a modicum of respect for you if you actually got up and fought for what you proselytize rather than waiting for someone else to take the first step.
So because I refuse to vote for any neoliberals (Republican or Democrat) I am the problem? I vote every election btw... It's funny how you have to accuse me of being a Russian troll instead of just respecting that and moving on.
Where have I advocated for violence? You would respect me more if I commit violence but not if I advocate for it? Are you advocating for me to commit violence? What kind of violence would be enough to earn your respect?
I'm not even human to you, you can't even acknowledge me as a living being because I have a different opinion. I'm just a bot, or a "Russian". Do you understand how dehumanizing that language is?
All because I don't vote for or advocate for candidates who support neoliberal economic policies that got us to Trump in the first place.
Look, play victim all you want if it makes you feel better.
Pretty sure the screenshots I posted of your previously banned account, which are a drop in the bucket, show your calls for violence.
Note I didn’t say I’d respect you, just a modicum. To break it down for you, I’m saying that the people on here who regularly call for violent revolution, yeah I’m saying your all talk and no action.
It has nothing to do with a difference of opinion, but troll accounts are nothing new. Reddit for example was overrun with troll accounts that actively helped influence elections in 2016, and again in 2024. Accounts supporting both Trump, and Bernie to split the vote after the Dems pulled that stunt with Hillary. Regularly pushing a “both sides” and “voting does nothing” narrative. It’s standard Russian troll farm playbook. So forgive me if I don’t actually take anything a known troll account says to heart.
Also again, it’s not hard to find receipts.
Here’s you calling for gun violence and giving off the impression that you’re not American. If you want, I’ll spend time digging in your current account and I’m sure finding something like this won’t be hard.
Edit: here took less than 45 seconds.
Here’s you saying on your current account that voting doesn’t matter, only gun violence does
