Well duh... why did you think those laws exist? Did you really think those fascist goon squads you call "police" that you also fund with your taxes actually exist to "protect" you?
Gee... how much blatant evidence do you need shoved in your face before you actually believe what it is that you are seeing?
Clyde, if it wasn't for people willing to break the law you wouldn't even know what a week-end is.
What makes you think I don't believe what I'm seeing? I see it, I believe it.
Well, be my guest. I'm not going to break the law because it seems like a high risk, low reward option. I will almost certainly be fined or jailed, and I don't see how any meaningful change will come about as a result of it.
If you are unwilling to risk anything for change... fine. But be honest about it - liberals, like you, will go along with literally anything if not doing so incurs any kind of risk or penalty. And the people who actually need and want change has absolutely nothing to gain from trusting you or your liberal politics.
I don't blame them for not trusting the politics. I don't trust the politics either. I don't think change is possible inside the political system and I don't think it's possible outside the political system, either. I don't think change is possible. I think any attempt at change is a futile effort.
I wish the CIA and the FBI believed that - if they did, they wouldn't be spending billions every year preventing change outside of the political system.
