I have to admit, the Republicans were right about the second amendment. We need to be (legally) buying guns and (legally) protesting with them.

The Republicans are only going to talk about violence against them. They have a victim mentality and Charlie boy is now a martyr.

I would throw an insult back at you but the type of comments you're writing tells me how your life is going. I hope writing snarky shit on the internet is making you feel better.

Blocked by the way.

What Americans want has zero impact on the government. The wealthy in this country make the decisions. Hell, sometimes corporate lobbyists literally write the bills we pass.

...

Is this some sort of analogy or did you comment on the wrong post?

Why choose other imperialist powers as though this is a representative sample? Unless you're arguing that every country is equally bad--thereby excusing the US from its war crimes--its unclear what these examples are meant to prove.

So instead of giving a straight answer, you would rather shift the burden to the person asking you what the fuck you're talking about.

I can only assume you're equating the hammer and sickle with the USSR rather than with communism more generally. The anarchism symbol underneath should clue you in to the fact that the post is not an endorsement of any particular regime. Ironically, you're the one perceiving things in their most literal sense.

I don't recall doing the latter. Either there's an implication to the post that I'm not picking up on or you're strawmanning me.

Wars and proxy wars since 1776.

EDIT: The post is not an endorsement of the USSR. You can now stop fighting for your "team" and start defending the anti-war values you claim to uphold.
