Stop changing your opinion. Violence or not >:(


Violence against our current Government? No, never. We would lose and pointless blood would be shed. There is still time for us to change their minds through peaceful means.

Violence, though, in light of a severe economic depression that gives way to authoritarianism(such as in Germany during the 30s) whether it be perpetuated by the left and their loathe of economic freedom or the right and their abhorrence of civil liberties, than yes. I would surely support violence against such an overtly inhumane regime which seeks to persecute us according to class, social status or race.


are you paying your taxes
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

By "draw your sword" do you perhaps instead mean "bore your audience"?

You need police to make sure no one steals your 'hard work' earned goods

You need army to make sure your foreign counterpart doesn't take over your business (*extreme circumstance)

You need rubbish trucks to clear the waste from you making your products.

You need street lights to reduce your chances of being mugged in your designer coat.


They need money just like you do, and using the capitalist system, you use their services, so surely you pay for them.
I won't patronise you with a wise quote.

For: Islam, Quasi Capitalism/Socialism, fair job allocations, moral modesty, Palestine, sensible patriarchy
Against: Pointless reveling, mass drinking of alcohol, United States led invasions, Iraq war, excessive pride, excessive SME business rates, postcode neglect, busy lifestyles

Liar. You've brought up the 2nd Amendment every time someone mentions that taxation isn't theft and how providing governmental services is a GOOD thing and when I called you out on it, you responded with this:

Yandere Schoolgirls wrote:Not at all, I'm saying that if worse comes to worse. I'm glad that we have our second amendment rights to defend ourselves from the negative effects of the stupid choices that people who think like you will undoubtedly make.

The only reason why you'd ever need to defend yourself from us is because you're up in arms and trying to revolt against us. After all, we Generalites are not going after you - why would we? Waste of time, to be honest.

Doesn't seem that way, but nevertheless what I said still stands; i'm not trying to incite violence of any sort.

By "draw your sword" do you perhaps instead mean "bore your audience"?

I doubt my audience is very bored seeing as how my thread has gotten over 600 posts in a very short time-frame.

I find it so cute how you are trying so hard to not cross the line and step into the realm of sedition when you pretty much did it already.
