oh sweetie. we don't like you either.
Confederate spotted
imagine how you would react if they said "Fuck all Canadians" or "Fuck all Africans".
don't hate me because I'm American, I just live here. I tried everything I could to stop this.
Are you implying I’m Canadian or African? I’m American fam. We should all be ashamed of what’s being allowed to happen.
shame yes, but to outright hate all Americans?
no, I refuse to be subjected and treated like I had any control over what happened.
I voted. I protest. I do my part. fuck anyone who attacks me based on where I live.
you'd lose that bet. I live a pretty simplistic life tbh. why would I fill my bedroom up with cheap crap? it's a room to sleep in. the most expensive thing in it is the bed because sleep is important for my health.
I assume by "some of us" you mean you? I'm amused by how easily you paint yourself in a positive light. I'm sure your mother would be proud.
I give yearly donations of things I don't use anymore. for free. no tax write-offs. every year we donate my kids toys for other families. every year we donate supplies, snacks, money to the school so kids that cannot, can. we donate money and food yearly to local pantries. I don't mention that though because it cheapens the intentions. I don't want fame, or clout, or prestige. I just want people who can't to know they can.
I'd love to see some evidence for that claim.
Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano A former underboss of the Gambino crime family, Gravano admitted to the murders of 19 people but chose to cooperate with prosecutors. Following his release from prison in 1994, he immediately entered WITSEC and relocated to Arizona
Marion Albert Pruett A serial killer convicted of multiple murders, Pruett was placed in WITSEC in 1979 under the alias Charles “Sonny” Pearson after providing testimony about a federal prison slaying. He later went on a four-state crime spree, committing more murders—actions that caused significant controversy and led to congressional scrutiny
Joseph “Joe Bentley” Barboza (alias of Joseph Barboza) A notorious hitman for the Patriarca family, Barboza testified against high-rank organized crime figures in the late 1960s and was relocated under the WITSEC program to Santa Rosa, California. Remarkably, he then murdered a local criminal named Clay Wilson following his relocation
Tommaso Buscetta A Sicilian Mafia boss who turned informant in the mid-1980s, Buscetta’s cooperation played a key role in prosecuting major Mafia figures. He was placed in a U.S. witness-protection program where he spent the rest of his life under protection
Mario “Sonny” Riccobene A Philadelphia mobster who became a federal witness and briefly entered WITSEC.
No shit? I mean your country makes that evident, lol.
it's not about who you are. it's about what you are.
an asshole.
I bet your bedroom is filled with mass produced trinkets marketed to your taste specifically to make you feel unique and individualistic without even having to put effort into actually cultivating a true honest personality ...and that you would never give that fake bullshit up even given the opportunity to truly do everything you could to stop this.
don't get me wrong, that describes most of us... but some of us aren't in denial. and not being in denial of that fakeness will do more than any modern protest. because when people don't deny that, a true unadulterated critical mass builds for real honest actual change and only after that can the real "war" or "protest" begin.
I bet if given the chance to prove your real honest worth beyond materialism and consumerism you couldn't. after all Americans aren't taught or guided to actually be all they can be... they are taught to consume, to grow the American business. The new world mafia, a legal modern mafia.
There's real criminals, drug dealers, murders, that get treated with more respect by the American government than a lot of regular people... why? Because they give back to the economy more than the average lower or middle class American.
The real world is chaos, and if you cant ride that wave of chaos, than you aren't playing the same game as the people that own you and you will forever be played out and used. You need to be willing to sacrifice everything.
since you moved it.
