    No, I’m not.

    No, I don’t attend or participate in any of that.

    Yes, I have.

    I don’t really need to prove to you that I’m rebelling in the right ways though. It’s a lot more nuanced and complicated than a lot of these comments want to make it out to be. There’s way more people here that are against the status quo than you want to believe, I think. This stuff doesn’t happen overnight.

      Of course you don’t need to defend yourself to a stranger on the internet. My point with the questions is it’s not armed insurrection or nothing.

      If you believe, deep in your heart, that you are doing all you can (which is all anyone can do!), why make defensive comments saying it’s too hard and people who think it’s possible just don’t understand? I’m not saying you need to publicly or privately support these specific tactics if you don’t agree with them. You just don’t need to do the empire’s propaganda for them, ya know?

        I think these types of conversations can be very reductive and being inside of the US, I see more dissent and pushback than is sometimes expressed here. So yeah, I’m not so much doing the empire’s propaganda for them as defending the people here actually doing the work you’re all begging us to do.

        Also thanks for engaging in a respectful discussion with me. I know this topic is touchy.
