I think you act like a mentally ill asshole. I am sure your family already knows this. My apologies to them.

You act like a garbage human being. Have fun catching bullets in your made up fantasy.

Frankly, you are a mess. You really don’t know one end from the other and I hope you handle your family a shit ton better than this conversation.

You are constantly oscillating between being a victim and rage hating. The fact that I am more mature is self-evident. Your alarmism is unbecoming and counterproductive.

If you just came here to rage and not to discuss, understand, learn, or grow that is fine. You should at least be honest with yourself if you can’t be honest with me.

I like you. You are certainly passionate and remind me of myself many years ago.

Your rage has only blinded you to the truth and you have become what you despise. There is a way forward and part of that is recognizing where we are. You say you are in your fifties, but you think like I did when I was a teenager.

I am about to have my second grandchild. I am not your enemy nor are my fellow Americans.

If you think anyone but the perpetrators are the problem you have already fallen into their trap. You need to start understanding propaganda and the rhetoric of control.

The only side you should be on is that of human beings. If that puts you at odds with everything else so be it. It is not like being right was ever popular.

Stop using those big words, you are just going to hurt yourself.

You don’t really care, that is obvious. You can’t see the past and you certainly can’t see the future.

You think it is an insult to tell you the motherfucking truth!? That your government has been a waste and that it is controlled by the same wealthy that control the US. This is reality and you better start opening your eyes.

I already explained the US is the worst. You are so stuck on stupid you can’t stop the propaganda. Everything you do is exactly what the fascists do. Blame everyone else for the problems, in this case the US.

You hate the US for some imaginary reason. At least I have a real reason to hate my country.

You will need years of deprogramming and decades of learning to understand what is really going on. Good luck and may you learn the awful truth.

Looks like you got nothing but insults. A complete failure.

Please grow up, your not convincing me of anything. Go pray to your corporate overlords.

You don’t even know how to ridicule. You are like a child that just learned that word. You think you are the first person to wish the US to fail!? Do you have any idea the millions who begged for this that are already dead.

I know the US is the most destructive country the world has ever seen. You are just another wanna be propagandist who is doing a shit job. Divide and conquer just like the wealthy have done.

Canada hasn’t done shit for me, nor would I expect it to. You sound like a prideful nationalist to me. No surprise as Canada is also a fascist nation full of fools controlled by the wealthy.

I have already been an advocate my whole life, I have helped more people in a month than you will in your lifetime. I have been involved with local, state, and federal politics. I stood on my state government’s steps demanding rights for people and was successful. I have lobbied my representatives in Washington DC in person.

Please take your high horse and ride it to fuck off land with your garbage takes. I am glad you can at least recognize the root of our problems. Stop grandstanding and figure out what to do. And for the love of god drop the sanctimonious bullshit. It is a very bad look for you.

Most people only know what propaganda they have been fed. Here you are trying to divide us just like the wealthy have.

The US controls the world, nothing is going to happen.

We were at the turning point during the revolutionary war. The wealthy won, convinced the colonist to turn on each other and created a government hell bent on death and destruction.

The purpose of the 2nd amendment is to make corporations and their shareholders wealthy. The historical purpose was lost long ago.

We need to act for sure, but it is clear you have no idea what to do. Reactionary violence is not going to solve this problem.

I am from the US and you didn’t make me upset at all. In fact, this was a pretty poor showing. Keep it up though. You have so much more to learn.

I will even give you some more. You live in a nation controlled by corporations. Be the shining light to the rest of the world. Take back your rights, eliminate the wealth gap, and create a government that resists corruption instead of embracing it.

Useful for corporations to make money and millions of Americans to die senselessly in gun violence you mean?

French citizens protest and still don’t get what they want. What is your point again?

He should be very scared. He has taken advantage of the government in ways we would never had dreamed possible before. He managed to eliminate all his threats and ensure his contracts and permits are upheld. Massive corruption is an understatement.

Originally it was just a really high tax rate at the highest bracket. This accounted for a monetary system that is essentially gamed. In the US the government reversed this under the theory of trickle down economics. This allowed a large group of people to greatly grow their investments and their wealth accordingly.

Inheritance tax is used to recoup some of these lost taxes but it is a poor way to do it. The correction should be at the beginning not the end. I agree with you.

It really depends on what your goal is. If the goal is to dillute power and prevent corruption this would be the minimum I think. Anymore and it just frees up too much money that will inevitably be used to tip the scales in a typical representative democracy.

Honestly though it is really needs to be a solution everyone can agree to even if there are some winners and losers. Figuring out a way to allow people to accumulate without damaging society really is the goal and you could argue ultimately it is just a cultural issue and perhaps not a policy one.

I personally think in the US the greed culture has completely dominated and overshadowed everything else to a point that only money matters anymore. Classism it out of control and no one is around to say stop. We are reminiscent of a spoiled toddler that has never been told no.

99.9999% tax rate beyond $10 million total worth would be a great start.

Which is ridiculous considering Reagan had no fucking clue what he was doing. He was a puppet President who had such severe Alzheimer’s by the end all he could do is sit around and eat jelly beans while his wife and administration ran the show.

People who vote for the Democratic party can get disfranchised easily, but the Republicans don’t.

They will reliably vote Republican even if their party slits their throats, takes a piss on them, and kills their women.

This is the current conundrum.

Looks like it is time for the Red Scare 2.0! Anyone who is woke is up for deportation. Better not be woke! Definitely don’t ask us what woke is because that is also grounds for deportation.

Instead of being President he is busy building monuments to himself. Garbage administration.

They literally skewer artists like her all the time. What kind of unholy abomination of voter demographic manipulation is this combination!?

Is it a pick me competition designed to appeal to rich men. I can’t even with these people.

It really sucks the way they treated AIDS initially. I still know elders who believe it is a divine punishment for gays. So many people died needlessly because of this.

This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the American genocide known as the war on drugs though. Millions of lives lost and tens of millions of families destroyed. All completely preventable.

They knew all along the right thing to do, but they had to go after the poor and minorities. It was one of the most disgusting representation of oppression and classism in modern times.
