"But guys, the other geriatric genocidal maniac scares me more, so we need to deepen the chokehold of this geriatric genocidal maniac, after all, we are all just voiceless slaves of the 2 ruling parties."

"We have guns to oppose a tyranical gov" or something

[–] Melkath@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't have any guns. All I have is a vote. So I have to make sure that I don't encourage genocidal maniacs to be genocidal maniacs with that vote.

What do you do when the overlords oppress you and won't listen to you?

You strike.

They get their heads out of their asses and start listening or the system burns and a new system emerges.

Some people even took their heads out of their necks. Way more efficient

probably a good idea to get armed and learn to shoot, with the way things are headed. Just a suggestion!

[–] Melkath@fedia.io -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. I'm trying to move away from war and genocide while there is still a glimmer of that possible.

I'd rather die a martyr than become my enemy.

Lol drawing moral equivalence between fascism and armed resistance to fascism?

People killing eachother.

That's the problem.

If noone killed anyone, noone would need to kill anyone.
