No I said you might mean that I went into detail about people who while not guilty are not as helpful as people in different countries are you a PISS bot or something wtf I'm not w fan of the government which country can referto but fiesnt always and yeah it needs yo be got rid of in most cases but I'm kind of
Are you purposefully misunderstanding me? How helpful someone is doesn't depend on how helpful they want to be, it depends on how helpful they can actually be, and when you're taking up arms against people in California, only people ACTUALLY IN CALIFORNIA are going to help, obviously.
If the people in London or Tijuana or Canada or wherever want to help, they can come to California, or they can't do anything to help California. They can help themselves in the location they're at, but that location isn't California, so the movement in California isn't going to benefit from it.
You get rid of a government by killing the people in charge. You can't kill the people in one place when you're in a completely different place.
A movement starts in one place and spreads. Multiple movements can happen at the same time, but the likelihood of that happening is pretty low, considering how we still don't have a single ongoing movement to actually get rid of any governments and actually remove those borders we both hate.
I've literally explained this in every way that I'm able to explain it. If you don't get it by now, pick up a dictionary and learn what words mean.
If I'm in San Diego like what we call San Diego not technical city limits in the same way Hollywood is in Los Angeles even though its its own like four cities or whatever I can literally shake hands with someone in tijuana like with my arm and their arm assuming mine are working and they have them this is not hypothetical I have done this look at a map Sacramento is like 15 hours away by car Sacramento is not important even though its in the same country except for government the border the government is the only thing stopping me the people literally next to me are in another county that's the point usually most of the people who can hop over and help you within like an hour are on another country most countries aren't that big they're defined by borders which are governments unless you're in Siberia or central China or like Canada or the Midwest or whatever or I guess Australia but that's still not very many places
Jesus Christ, bud. When you're talking about a place in California, you're talking about the exact location of that place in California, not just anywhere in California. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. If I say "Hey, check out the Hollywood sign - it's in California!" and someone flies to San Jose to see it, they're an idiot. If I'm in LA and I tell someone "Hey, come visit me in California!" they fly to LA. They don't fly to some random place in California and get confused as to why I'm not also in that exact location.
People who can get to the location of a movement in an hour are only helpful to that movement in an hour when they get there. People who can be there in a week are only helpful in a week when they get there. People who are down the street from where the fighting is taking place are only helpful when they walk up the street and GET THERE. Only the people who are actually currently in range of the people we're shooting at are going to be able to join the firefight.
But that's the point the people close to me are not in the same country country is bad don't country my truck cucked my wife from me I'm gonna drink myself to death and I made my shitty husband eat his dog but in like a fun empowering way
