People feel so disempowered, don’t they? Yup. We tax payers directly fund genocide, and we should be fucking mad about it. We’re fighting a religious war, being manipulated by intelligence agencies and evangelicals. It’s bullshit, and rolling over is pathetic.

All you’re doing is attempting to dehumanize and discredit people based on nationality. Literal MAGA mentality. No shit we pay taxes, do you not?Image

I’m doing neither. This is a fucking fact. Our, yes our, tax dollars are killing people. I’m sorry you live in some delusion that thinks this isn’t true. You trying to reject truth and deny responsibility is the MAGA move here. Deal with it.

We all realize that. You implying all Americans are implicit because they’re forced to pay taxes, like just about any citizen of any nation, is the stupid part here. Paying taxes does not make you implicit in the actions of your government. Full stop. Yet you keep bringing it up as a “gotcha”.
“Hehe we’re just as much to blame for being Americans even though we have a rigged election system and no way to escape it.”

You have a lot of faith in what people in this country realize while also “full stopping” the responsibility that we are funding genocide. You think that because taxes are required to be paid that that somehow removes the responsibility from the tax payer, but that’s just a cop out. If ANYONE in this country really gave a flying shit about fixing anything that is wrong then everyday would be a protest. People would give up their comforts and stop buying shit. People would quit going to their jobs. People would stop paying their taxes. We won’t though. We’re ok with the far away genocide because we can hop on social media and be like #stopgenocide so that EVERYONE knows we’re good guys. It’s all performance and you prove that with your argument. “I’m not causing genocide!!!” - You
