So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

    I hate to admit this but I’m terrified to go beyond complaining. I don’t want to have to fight these fucking ghouls. But I guess the pool of options is evaporating.

      As a German I wish you all the best and hope you can avoid the worst.

      It won’t be easy.

      Don’t fight these ghouls. They are a symptom; oligarchs are the disease.

      Register your complaint with the richest person within driving distance.

        I remember this one guy registered a complaint with a CEO and it basically turned him into a national heartthrob

      I feel ya. But doing noting hasn’t really moved the needle much. Complacency teaches repetition.

            LOL, what the FUCK? How? That makes no sense.

            Me asking some random person encouraging others to get killed what he is contributing makes me a “narc”?

            These internet warriors are trying to incite violence from the safety of their keyboards. They deserve to be called out. And the fact that all you can respond with is a childish, irrelevant insult says it all.

            bate

            I think you mean bait. Just trying to help.

            Bait and bate are homonyms, sound the same but have different spelling and meanings.

            bate /bāt/ transitive verb

            1. To lessen the force or intensity of; moderate.
            2. To take away; subtract.
            3. To lessen by retrenching, deducting, or reducing; to abate; to beat down; to lower.

            bait /bāt/

            noun

            1. Food or other lure placed on a hook or in a trap and used in the taking of fish, birds, or other animals.
            2. Something, such as a worm, used for this purpose.
            3. An enticement, temptation, or provocation.

              That’s what I thought, debate bate.

              And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

              I’ll digress…

              If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

              Just some friendly advice.

                That’s what I thought, debate bate.

                LOL, “debate bate”, this is a discussion forum. You’re insulting me for using such a forum to engage debate?

                Let’s just be honest, you’re deflecting because you don’t want to answer my question.

                And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

                Yes, your obvious deflection is akin to MAGA tactics, they do it all the time. You’re doing AGAIN, right here.

                If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

                Lol, you’re so full of shit, what a joke. I’m not making an assumption, your refusal to answer IS an answer. You feel free to encourage others to get themselves killed while doing NOTHING yourself.

                Just some friendly advice: everyone can see what’s going on here. Pretending to be too high and mighty to engage in debate is a thin veneer for your clear unwillingess to answer a simple question.

                Also, if you were doing something that could make you a target you’d have to pretty fucking stupid to talk about it openly on the internet

                  LOL, he’s not doing shit and we all know it. So much big talk on the internet, it’s pathetic.

                  He feels free to incite to others to commit violence, is that smarter?

                    Yeah right, real believable. Apparently it’s perfectly safe to tell OTHERS to commit violence on the internet though. I guess the government draws the line there.
