    you’re all sleepwalking right into it

    This is what bothers me the most too. Decades of chest-thumping about liberty and freedom, and now this? It’s pathetic, really.

      The chest thumpers were propagandized that guns were a critical component of life and anything a liberal did was tyranny, while the rest of us were propagandized to think authorities are always legitimate, the system will produce justice if you just wait, and violence solves nothing.

      But but this is different, it’s not like they’re trying to have us take a vaccine or something! It’s just rounding people up and grabbing people off the streets with little to no oversight. I mean sure have we already lost hundreds of people that we can’t account for? Sure, but it’s not like they’re making me get rid of my rolling coal dumbass truck or something important

      Its honestly strange to see non US people who have bought the propaganda as much or more than some people in the US.
