hidden? I think tearing down government is a pretty damned good fix, and so does many others

Why do you think this? Have you ever been to a country with a non-functioning government?

  • Somalia comes to mind, plenty of guns too, yet the Randians never last more than 10 minutes when they go

    • And then the person dropping this load of nonsense moves on without ever having to defend their point.

      How do you combat this kind of bad-faith propagandizing? How do communities maintain some level of connection to reality and decency? It seems to infect every online space I visit.

  • Have you been to China? It's like a science fiction movie. Now consider how Mao destroyed the old world, killed the old guard, and led the few remaining through decades of poverty rebuilding the glorious smart city society they have today. Trump is basically Gandhi compared to Mao. So I don't understand the weeping and wailing. Those people have all the guns in this country. If they want to try to fix America's government rather than murder us, I say let them try.
