If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a draft.

I'll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won't do anything about it.

I wish i could, but if I do, I’ll never see my children again

What about when you're in a situation where you have to report other anti-MAGA to protect yourself from MAGA? Would you rat out strangers you don't know to protect yourself and your kids?

The "but my children" excuse does not make you an ally, it makes you a liability and untrustworthy. What if they decide to deport you? You'll definitely never see your children again. What about other peoples children? Just because they're not yours, they don't matter to you? Children, aka the future, depends on you going out and fighting, not hiding behind your kids because "my kids are more important than your kids." That mindset of fear and capitulation to fascists is exactly what creates fascism, so stop using your kids as a shield from responsibility. You decided to bring your kids into this situation, not us.

There are other ways to help on the frontline that don't involve picking up a gun and getting shot. On the back end as well, people are needed. You have a unique set of skills, stop giving them to the people that bribe you with money and start using it towards your childrens future.

I would say it's the dominant western neoliberal culture that accepts corruption as an "Oh well what can you do" type thing. Not all cultures are so accepting of corruption. We need to start treating corruption as great of a sin as murder or pedophilia, perhaps more so.

Really puts the £36 TRILLION that's sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective. $23.7 billion isn't even 1% of that.

Pretty soon it'll be anti-MAGA telling on their anti-MAGA neighbors to protect themselves from MAGA. "I would do something but I have kids to take care of" crowd will be the first to betray their own.

Seriously tho, all those National Guard gunboat operators and snipers around Maralago has gotta be thinking "What guarantees do I have after I'm done serving?"

I said that "Americans can vote for their future" and got banned lol.

Pretty sure the engineers at SpaceX who do all the work would happily take a better deal elsewhere if say Europe gave them the opportunity. I'm sure Elon and his 20yo hacker friends will do fine by themselves, they're like an MCU Iron Man dream-team according to his fans.

It's coming and Americans are refusing to see the oncoming headlights.

Sounds like your boss was the problem, not the DEI hires. But that's okay, the racist conclusion is the most sensible one to jump to.

Being a Nazi doesn't help either.
