I'm genuinely trying not to be mean, but this is some of the most cartoonish "tough guy" language I've seen in a long time.

You're literally just sitting at your home 6,000 miles away anonymously goading others into amassing weapons and armor to fight one of the largest super powers in the world, talking about how you're "willing to stare down the barrel of a gun," while whining about downvotes on a website and saying that you can't participate because you might get temporarily detained at the airport.

Can I not have sympathy for Americans getting sent to deathcamps simply because I do not want them dead? How is it cartoonish to have sympathy at destroying fascism whenever it crops up, when it affects me too? You think I don't have fascists raining down my neck because my imperialists never left?

I want everyone to live free. Be able to choose who they want to engage with, who to befriend, who to communicate, etc.. Since we know your current despot will not help us, I choose to help folks that I can. And those are you.

It is a challenge of priorities. I don't care about votes. Do you care to see your friends and family get abducted? That is the crux.

I don't. So I’m fighting to keep my loved ones safe. I am revolting. Are you?

Can you not tell us to kill each over your idiotic uninformed exaggerations?

Oh right, I forgot abductions are non-violent actions in America. How are they treating y’all in the encampments btw?
