    TFW a revolution against the government is just another part of your ruggedly individualistic grindset

      If you want to have that victim mentality grindset and be dependent upon others that is entirely your decision.

          It says a lot about you when you choose to cite the weakest Indiana Jones movie.

            Dude, my plan is to let keyboard warriors make themselves look ridiculous between meetings and then have a couple beers after work.

            The original post was about how the whole meal team six refrain of “the 2nd amendment will prevent tyranny” was also a lie, which you help prove with every post.

            I’m not a huge war buff, but I think to have a successful revolution you’ll probably need to have a friend first.

            I don’t think I’ve ever seen a revolution in which one buff guy managed to beat a military by having washboard abs and a closet full of rifles, and I doubt you’ll be the first.

              There should have been no organized uprising against Nazi Germany either, because you had to draft others against their will, in order to defend you. So none of us should be here.

                Yep, collectivism for fascists, rugged individualism for those who seek to root them out.

                Pairs nicely with all of the following American sentiments:

                • fuck you, I’ve got mine

                • pull the ladder up behind yourself

                • pull yourself up by your bootstraps

                • socialize the losses, privatize the profits

                • caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

                • communism for the rich, laissez-faire, starvation capitalism for the poor

                • if you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?

                and on and on

                  If innocent people where not suffering from this, I would be straight up fine with the people who started this, voting in a leader that would send them to death camps.
