  • Did the very same people who took part in that revolution also turn around and clearly state that it is a right to rebel?

    Some did say that. You can likely count the number on your hands. But one of the very first actions the newly formed U.S. government took was putting down a rebellion. They were not supporters of revolution, they were supporters of their own personal interest.

    I agreed with your idea that they were oligarchs. How is that relevant?

    Because there are just as many people today who would be willing to rise up blindly in defense of their oligarchs, just as they were willing to fight for their oligarchs profit margins back then.

    The revolution had help, how is that relevant?

    Because leftist groups in the U.S. have none. We’ve been desperate for funding for decades now. All media outlets are suppressing us. You cannot expect the same level of performance as when the oligarchs were on our side.

    Are all oligarchs really the same

    The ones who deliberately use propoganda to incite poor people to fight for their profits are. Hell the French aristocracy weren’t even helping the Americans for good reasons, they were just happy to use them as a warfront to weaken their real enemy in the British.

    It seems like you fundamentally misunderstand the history and current situation in the United States, and are trying to criticize us without any context.




  • I know it sounds fun to believe that friendship or togetherness can topple a nation that’s willing to drone strike its own citizens, but the truth is that the game is so heavily rigged in the U.S. that we have a lot of needs. We need guns, we need intelligence, and we need enough peer to peer outreach to actually organize. Without third-party assistance, it’s pretty hard to go beyond the local protesting we’ve already been doing.

    Everyone likes to fantasize about Jan 6th without realizing there were big financial groups working on outreach, organization, and supporting travel to the capital to make that happen. There is no money for the left in the U.S. You really want to yell at us, at least donate to organizations like Indivisible first.










  • Yeah, I’ve always felt like forced sex sounds hotter than it actually is. It sounds so romantic, and everyone thinks they can get in the mood as soon as their partner wants them, but the reality doesn’t quite line-up the same. A pretty key part of any consensual non-consent is setting up a word to break the scene though, so I dunno if I’d beat yourself up too much about it. If she wasn’t in the mood, she should have let you know.
