They're afraid!

@196

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

Idk why anyone is surprised by the outcome of one political party fighting so hard for the ammo box while gutting the other boxes. Like what did they expect?

Wait until you get a $50,000 health insurance bill for non-existent procedures that the doctor and insurance company made up and no one will believe your side of the story.

Nah man. It’s pretty revolutionary. Which is pretty not American.

That’s part of the American mythos that’s honestly not much more than brainwashing. There is no “revolutionary American spirit.” Not since the country was founded, actually. Sure, leaving the British, but then…nothing. I don’t think we can call something that last happened in the 1700s “part of who we are.” We are the face of global hegemony and capitalism.

We’re not all still sperm just because that’s how we became people, yknow what I mean?

The French have a long history of politically motivated violence

[-] uis@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

No, they have sharp history

That's literally what the second amendment is about.

The idea isn't necessarily to overthrow the military with a coup. It's to make those in power afraid to piss off enough people that they can't walk down the street without some random person with a gun going after them.
