Omg he dared me?? Well now I’ve got to do it! (Jks)

Haha but I honestly might. I have a lot of other random projects I’ve given myself 😞

I guess it is a double edge sword of lemmy. One could write a script to have the voting power of ten people really easily

I can easily believe that. I have no idea how someone comes to that point of view without a ton of brain washing

Didn’t know what you were talking about so I looked it up. Nice reference!

Id really consider it I weren’t foreign to the US. Really really bad look for my whole country if I did anything. But if USA invades us then I’m absolutely going to try.

I’m hopeful I’ll be so popular after that no lawyer will be required 🤞

Also, you know you’re doing something right when you get brigaded haha

I guess maybe. It’s just still odd though. Like you weren’t really making a political point. Maybe they’re just downvoting all your comments? I dunno just strange

I’m so confused as to why someone would downvote your comment. I guess they think you’re trying to shut someone down or something? Like you just mentioned it is risky, I assume because it has happened to you, which is good to know

Not sure why you got downvoted.

I’m not a violent person—I want peace. But if the quickest path to it, with the least bloodshed, is removing this idiot, then so be it.

Holy crap that’s insane I had to look it up and yes apparently that happened. wtf there’s so much news I can’t keep up

How is my information fundamentally flawed, exactly? Did the USA have a revolution? Did the very same people who took part in that revolution also turn around and clearly state that it is a right to rebel?

I agreed with your idea that they were oligarchs. How is that relevant? The revolution had help, how is that relevant? Are all oligarchs the same? Is that really a fair claim to make? What about the French? I don’t even feel like you have an argument, you’re just trying to justify your inaction.

I’m in favour of you using whatever example you need to make it make sense to you. Unions or whatever.

Okay sure. Just ignore the main point I was making. Sounds like a thing a coward would do. Have fun living under tyranny.

I’m also Canadian and I am also mad. I’m buying a gun and learning to shoot it. I’m working on custom fpv drones in my free time. I’m using my chemistry degree to com up with potential explosives. This is not me. I wanted to have a life heavy involved in tech l, but I can’t do that anymore.

So many children have been sacrificed for their second amendment rights and now just silence. Absolutely disgusting.

The destruction of teslas is pretty much the Boston tea party part 2 electric boogaloo. Seems like most people would let the British fuck them up forever if they were alive back then.

That sounds like Russian propaganda.

While not that untrue, it’s a pretty bleak interpretation of history.

You could argue the founding fathers were oligarchs but remember… they toppled a monarchy. Doesn’t get more autocratic than that.

You could also imagine some “oligarchs” could see that they benefit from a more equal society.

At the end of the day, the founding fathers clearly support rebellion. Say what you will about them but they were not hypocrites. From the Declaration of Independence:

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”

Rebellion is your duty.

Looks like a lot of people wish you would.
