Wrath_Of_Spiral 06/28/24 2:12:54 PM #99:	Metal_Gear_Raxis posted... I'm done with your fucking platitudes. What should ordinary people have done about the insurrectionists? In specific terms and in detail, please. What, should we form vigilante mobs and hang them from street lamps? What you're saying about "the people" needing to take a stand sounds cute but it doesn't mean anything. The same way change was brought about at every other point in our country's history -- through public outcry, marching and protesting, writing letters to our governors/senators to fight, even posting on social media now will garner attention if enough of us rally to the front lines. The only "vigilantism" that should be condoned in accordance with our country's laws is to publicly ostracize the guilty who have found a way to skirt through and exploit our country's laws through loopholes in the system and turn them into social pariahs. But that's only if the law fails which it shouldn't. What isn't going to help anyone, let alone our democratic principles is this jaded, defeatist mentality. This is how civilizations are lost! Through the apathy of the people. Metal_Gear_Raxis posted... This your first exposure to reality or something? Look up Iran-Contra. Look up how Nixon for off scott-free for Watergate, or Bush Jr. for his illegal military actions. Huh?! Nixon was forced to resign from presidency. Something that should have happened to Trump. Bush Jr. was a reactionist moron who overextended this country's resources in response to an attack on this country's soil but he was never a criminal who soiled all over this country's laws, checks and balances, and due process. I'll have to look into Iran-Contra as I'm not familiar with it but there are a lot of instances where the people of this country succeeded in upholding the laws and standards this country was built on, even to the rich and powerful. It is only now though that I'm seeing it beginning to crumble in the face of fascism and it scares me. Why isn't it scaring you? Metal_Gear_Raxis posted... Christ are you for real? It's the only reason to be in this country. It's the set of ideals each of its citizens hold promoting equal opportunity. Why is that not worth fighting for to you?! <cite>Wrath_Of_Spiral posted [p:981062286] in Supreme co...
