But yeah why are usa patriots so vocal and yet don’t really like the idea of the country as it is - a Usa
@patrickberzai School kids mostly? Guns are biggest killer of children in usa - how are they the problem?
And lol do ar-15s protect you from the entire might of the usa military? How would that even work as a veto
@patrickberzai The value for money argument is hilarious - it’s supremely arrogant to decide for 350m people it’s mostly next being selfish disguised as a political value

The idea that an an individual should get to direct the expenditure of taxes is the opposite of representative democracy - and clearly stupid since how would they know what’s best for the country rather than just themselves
@patrickberzai Yeah. It’s super weird / they want to live in a country but not contribute to it for others or next generation

@Programancer "Oh, you think your kind are brainrotted? You merely adopted the brainrot. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding! The brainrot betrays you, because it belongs to me!"
