      There’s no hope for Americans

      But neither is there for Europeans. We knew that the chemical weapons in Iraq were fake and we knew that there was no UN mandate for Syria and the one for Libya was stretched. We have known about Venezuela since the aircraft carrier was sent at the end of October. Now Greenland is closer to home, and we know about the social networks and the groomed politicians. What are we going to do to make a difference?

      Said by someone that’s not in their position. It’s like, “those shitty slaves in North Korea are not doing enough.” Yeah, we can’t outfight the military people.

        That’s literally what has happened in like every regime before change. Standing up to the power in place.

        I’m happy I don’t have to do that, but you must if you want change.

        You can also start small with a national strike.

        I thought that was the whole idea with having guns, so you wouldn’t get oppressed by the government. So, now there is no reason for everyone to have guns?
