    Tell me when you guys finally get free healthcare and sane gun control laws.

    How about something simpler, then? Get back to me when you guys finally stop funding Israel’s genocide.

    Even easier? Get your government to stop vetoing any UN resolution for a ceasefire in Palestine.

    Show me how easy it is to change your government’s mind. I’ll wait.

      Why should it be easy? Do you only do things that are easy? Was World War II easy?

      Your forefathers spent months, years, working on projects some of them didn’t even live to see completed. You want your activism to be easy? This is pathetic.

      Of what use are you to humanity if the only victories you’ll reach for are ones doable over a saturday? Whose grandchildren should even bother to remember your name?

      When we win this one back, I think VISA should restrict you specifically from buying any porn games.

        We’re talking about the difference between government owned payment processors and for-profit ones when it comes to solving the issue of them giving undue influence to online stores.

        Your argument for supporting goverment owned payment processors is that it shouldn’t be solved within this lifetime because that’s better? Wtf are you talking about?

        When we win this one back, I think VISA should restrict you specifically from buying any porn games.

        Here comes the American way of doing things. And you wonder why I don’t trust the US government to not immediately misuse their power if they actually own payment processors. Thanks for proving my point.

          shouldn’t

          Shouldn’t?

          because that’s better?

          It is better.

          I don’t trust the US government to not immediately misuse their power

          Sounds like you should be involved, then. To keep them in check.
