      Oh, look. Another idiot here to shit talk because he hasn’t thought about what it is he expects us to do. Got a suggestion, or are you just here to play tough guy behind the anonymity of the Internet?

        Oh look, another American that wants to spend their time coming up with excuses for doing nothing rather than actually doing anything.

        I’d rather someone fucking leave then just keeping their head down and doing nothing like this is normal.

          Leaving costs money most don’t have. Believe me, if could get a job in Canada and move there I would.

            Sure, but you’re not calling someone a coward for leaving. I’m saying somebody leaving is at least something, and something is better than nothing.

                I didn’t call anyone a coward either. I just said they weren’t doing anything heroic by doing nothing while they mock others for leaving.

            The same fucking playbook every time:

            1. can’t somebody else do it? (“Why don’t you come here and do something?”)

            2. we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas (“what’s your suggestion” instead of trying to come up with an idea on your own)

            3. endless excuses to not even try any suggestion provided.

            No surprise.

              can’t somebody else do it?

              Do what?

              we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas

              I asked what you expected me to do. You’ve suggested nothing.

              endless excuses to not even try any suggestion provided

              No suggestions have been provided

              No surprise.

              Repeating after me doesn’t equal a point.

              I’m starting to think that you haven’t thought about it at all.

                No suggestions have been provided

                That’s because pointing out the hollowness of you asking for suggestions is more effective if I point out the playbook before you give all your excuses. Here are some simple suggestions for you:

                1. Move. The thing you insulted another poster for.

                The excuse: moving is expensive.

                So is dying. They’re literally saying they want to kill you. Every refugee ever has managed it with fewer resources and more obstacles than you have.

                1. Protest. Like actually protest. Not this “one Saturday every 6 months we go to our designated out of the way protest space so as to not cause too much trouble, then clean up after ourselves and get back to work on Monday.” Actual portests are disruptive.

                The excuse: AmErIcA iS tOo bIg

                BLM managed it after the death of one person. How many people have ICE murdered without consequence?

                1. Get involved in politics. Find a politician that opposes this shit and join their team. If no such politician exists become the politician and build a team.

                The excuse: that’s hard

                Oh, you wanted suggestions that wouldn’t require any effort?

                Now go ahead with your excuses and prove that giving you these suggestions was a waste of time.

                  Moving is not an option and you have to be a completely out of touch privileged moron to even suggest it. Anti-ICE protests have gone non-stop all summer. I am involved in politics.

                  You have no suggestions and as I suspected aren’t smart enough to know how dumb you are and just want to bitch at an American. Pull your head out of your ass, you stupid fuck.

                    So the person you insulted earlier for moving has now managed to achieve the impossible?

                    As I said, you don’t want suggestions. You want to give excuses for your inaction. If you spent half as much time and energy trying to do something as you spend getting upset at people for saying “that’s bad, people should do something about it,” you might actually get somewhere.
