    Can we reason our way to revolt, already?

    `twould be nice, but I see this as requiring a multi-generational solution. We need enough young voters to get out there and vote with their social conscience, to overcome the combined weight of ignorance, money and power.

      Seems to me every single time Americans significantly changed their laws, they had to break laws, often pick up firearms, then boycott, illegally enforce their strike’s picket lines, riot and revolt. Perhaps you shouldn’t be speaking of the combined weight of ignorance of society. Maybe your time would be better spent reading a history book rather than attempting to teach.

          I scoped correctly. And, you’re Australian, meaning your government follows where we lead regardless of what you vote for. Bad faith fuck.

            Jesus, talk about failing to get the point.

            I’m not talking about my government or yours. I’m talking about society making a change for the better. That requires change at a generational level. Bigger guns aren’t the answer - changing people’s thinking is.

            But, by all means, feel free to keep playing the Team America card. That’s what landed that orange-skinned moron in the White House for his first term.

              Jesus, talk about failing to answer a simple question. If you don’t know fuck all about how to implement our shared goal, perhaps you should humble the fuck down and learn to ask good questions.
