Hah!

You first.

Why would it even matter?

You got an actual critque of or comment on what I said, or just bluster?

Hah! You first.

I live in Seattle, Washington

Why would it even matter?

Because we both know you're not an American and you saying where you're from could be easily challenged.

Hah!

You ever been to Beth's Cafe?

Last time I was there a few years ago, a message I had written on their communal white board thing was still there, a decade after I originally wrote it, at the culmination of a near black out inducing bar crawl, needed alllll those eggs.

Wow buddy, way to swing and miss on that one, holy shit.

Yeah, I too am originally from the Seattle area.

Oh god that's funny, I have never in my life been accused of not being an American, hahaha!

Sure, yep, what I'm saying could be easily challenged, so the way you do that is attempt to attack my nation and state of origin, brilliant rhetoric.

Again, please actually challenge the content of what I wrote, not an ad hom, come on.

Nah, you wrote a shit ton that is basically saying for everyone to suck it up and do violence. You do you and let me know how it goes.

Beth's Cafe is open again. So you visited at least twice if I go by your word. What, a Yakima dude or maybe more of a Centralia vibe?

No, no, no I am from the west side, rooted for the Dawgs, protested for Palestinian rights in Red Square almost two decades ago, argued with my econ profs during the GFC, argued with my poli sci profs about US troops guarding opium fields in Afgjanistan....

I do have an appreciation of nature and have been to, hiked around, learned the wildlife of many different parts of the state.... badlands can be fun in small doses, but no I prefer the evergreen and evergray weather.

And I did have some fun back during the police riots a few years back, running them out of Cap Hill sure was fun!

You're talking to an anarchist, if your criticism is merely that violent revolutions are a thing that happens, and I described some historical and military... and human level, personal realities around that, you know with some passion...

Then yep, guilty as charged.

Here, watch, I can dual wield the second ammendment, and Marx's 'Under No Pretext' at the same time, ah, ooh, scary!
