    Yeah Americans love making up words to justify their actions to themselves.

    “Oh no I didn’t drone strike that wedding and kill that 4 year old girl, that was collateral damage from me killing the super bad guy. I’m a hero!”

        Yeah, he should be waterboarded by one of your heroes torturing America’s ennemies in Guantanamo Bay, then he would have more respect.

          You are too emotional for social media. Go outside and touch grass. Talking point parrots need crackers sometime, too.

            I go touch grass regularly. Actually I went bike touring and camping this very week. And the week before. Want some pictures?

            And no. Just like life, I’m gonna stay here, be a thorn, and point out the obvious to the boot lickers. Otherwise I would have killed myself a long time ago.

              I guess the bigger question is why the generalized rage?

              Pivots can and do happen in societies and let’s be honest here… 99% of the rage you have at prior political injustice comes - correctly - at the feet of capitalism.

              That same capitalism that brought you the ability to buy and own a bike, a tent, and sleeping bag to use for camping, and all the amenities you are using right now - including the computer/phone and the internet you and I are on at this very instant.

              So, let’s lose the notion that you yourself are not complicit in the support of those atrocities, as you are benefiting from them just like the rest of us.

              You can get some land, move off the grid and use only what you grow/make for yourself… but you won’t like it.
