I see a pattern in the recent news stories and on-the-ground footage coming out from these raids. We’ll get into that later. The first step in real change is to make sure you educate yourself.

    America’s forebears were so reviled that they were chased off a continent. Assholery is literally ingrained in our culture

      I mean the founding fathers where litterally rich people who didn’t want to pay taxes. And the rich are still like that. America fictionalizes their founding.

        Do you remember the story of the Mayflower? Bunch of Puritans who got kicked out of Europe for their religious beliefs? That happened 150 years before the Revolution and the founding of the country. We were assholes looong before we were rich people who did everything we could to avoid paying our share of taxes. By the time the founding fathers were born, we were hitting our asshole stride.
