    Absolutely that’s true all over the world. However in many dictatorships there are also plenty of well-fed people. Not as many as in a free society of course, but just because it’s a dictatorship doesn’t mean every citizen is starving. That’s not me downplaying Trump becoming a dictator btw, that’s still completely fucking crazy and he needs to be stopped.

      Plenty of well fed people, as long as your one of the special ones.

      I don’t know what you’re trying to peddle. But you’re advice to simply take it is wrong and, frankly, cowardly

      You do not beat destruction and cruelty by knuckling under.

      Appreciate the convo, but I’ve seen too much. Collaboration, appeasement, and compliance are what allows facism.

        Who said collaboration, appeasement, and compliance? Only you did. Go re-read what I said. I guess everything in your life is black and white and two things can’t be true at once…

          You are. You want to roll over

          That’s what rolling over is.

          Let’s not start insulting, some things absolutely are right vs wrong, with no gray area. It’s just that facing real wrongs and bad guys is scary. So people rationalize. Its understandable. But giving up is definatly the wrong thing. Giving up is why it took 50 years
