    glances at the state of European politics

    How can you talk shit when Kier Starmer, Emanuel Macron, and Olaf Schultz are your idea of good-enough liberal compromise? And why do these liberal centrists (in the US and Europe both) keep producing larger and larger factions of popular fascist movements?

    Liberals have made “perfect” synonymous with “good”. Candidates like Corbyn and Melancion were the compromise, but y’all couldn’t resist selling your democracies down the river for another decade of dirt cheap imports.

      Not at all. In general the political climate is terrible. I can talk shit because I’m not afraid to do so. You see I do have rights, and that’s something Americans are about to lose. That worries me.

      And chosing between two evils is a bad position to be in, but they can still chose. What I don’t understand is why the American people are so reluctant to choose for freedom under democracy, albeit shabby, over a dictatorship with a senile maniac that hasn’t worked a day in his life. He’s everything parents warn children about, yet the parents still chose him. Wtf?
