Wow, pretty awful comments here so far.

Thanks neighbour. I hate your government, but I don't hate you. You are not your government. Keep resisting in anyway you can.

We're trying to while avoiding terrorist charges for simple things like carrying pamphlets that isn't right wing approved

  • pamphlets

No shade. It's a weird word.

[–] humblearrogant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks. I've been under a lot of stress recently

what is the 2nd amendment for?

[–] lookitsjustin@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Guess that depends on how you understand the second amendment. Many modern Americans believe it’s a green light to own ARs to take lives indiscriminately. American forefathers envisioned something much closer to an armed militia to stand up to a tyrannical government.

I think it boils down to a lot of frustration on our part. Every time he threatens us or another ally everyone says how sorry they are, but nothing comes of it and it just keeps happening.

It's just as easy for us to commit sedition as it is for them to commit treason.

What are we doing to help them organize their revolution?

That shit ain't easy. We need to support any resistance we can, no matter how small.

Eh. Sorry is worth something. They can't fix the whole thing themselves.

Whatever activism is also welcome, although you have to realise how vanishingly few people go that far. So, thanks for the apology.

If sorry was worth that much we wouldn't need police and armies.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And what should the police and army do about this one random American? Like, isn't that what you're implying?

Sorry wouldn't mean much from Trump, sure. OP is probably not Trump. In everyday interpersonal interactions, as opposed to official diplomacy, I hope you know the value of sorry.

Sorry and an empty sack is worth an empty sack
