I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

    That’s part of the American mythos that’s honestly not much more than brainwashing. There is no “revolutionary American spirit.” Not since the country was founded, actually. Sure, leaving the British, but then…nothing. I don’t think we can call something that last happened in the 1700s “part of who we are.” We are the face of global hegemony and capitalism.

    We’re not all still sperm just because that’s how we became people, yknow what I mean?

    That's literally what the second amendment is about.

    The idea isn't necessarily to overthrow the military with a coup. It's to make those in power afraid to piss off enough people that they can't walk down the street without some random person with a gun going after them.
