On what, exactly, do you think they disagree?

Imagine thinking that all the secondary stuff does nothing to improve or encourage life. But I guess expecting imagination or thinking from some people is too much to ask.

Pterodactyl!

Your friends are still here, but they’re not in charge. Violent, armed bullies have taken over and are driving this country - with the rest of us in it - off a cliff. They aren’t just invading Greenland, they’re invading us. Our homes, our schools, our workplaces, our courts, all invaded. The authorities we armed and entrusted to uphold the law have seen their opportunity to go mask-off and support fascism. Your friends here are outclassed, outgunned, and oppressed.

Remember that America isn’t a monolith. If you were to put a bullet in the head of every US soldier to set foot on Greenland, we will celebrate your victory. Because we care about humanity, and our armed forces have given theirs up to fulfill a hateful dream. They’ve made their decision and deserve whatever’s coming to them.

I hope you understand that this take puts you in the company of tyrants and fascists, including the Nazis. Your hate is no better than their hate.

Right here: “USA as a country is our enemy now, not just the GOP. So in that way it is actually all Americans.”

Backpedaling later in your comment doesn’t fix this awful take.

Right. And it’s not like I’m doing nothing about it. I’m not a fighter, I’m a healer. I’m staying in school, enduring a shitty situation in a shitty country so that when the survivors turn up traumatized, I will be there to help them recover. Meanwhile I do what I can to arm my fellow Americans with knowledge of psychological theory - the biases and weaknesses of the human mind, how corporations and governments exploit this knowledge to empower themselves against us, and how we can strengthen our minds to resist them. That’s what I’m about, and I’m not going to let a diaper-shitting pedophile and his plans for world domination turn me into something I’m not.

I think it’s really awful that you’re telling Americans to either get themselves killed by the tyrant or be treated as supporters of the tyrant. Just awful.

You know who else was into collective punishment?

“What if we just use our binoculars to watch flowers bloom?”

“You’re not gonna believe this…”

That plane should have gotten the chicken pox vaccine!

They’ve tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas!

Yeah. In my experience, alcohol will shut the voice up for the night but the next day it’ll be back, and it’ll have something to say about your drinking.

I feel like there’s a serious problem barely hinted at by the article: That a “town hall” meeting was considered a private event. That doesn’t make sense to me. Why would it be private? If it is private, why would the police be on hand to work security?
