You are part of the problem.

People forget that glass bottles and gasoline are (relatively) inexpensive

After 30 or so years of witnessing firsthand that the amateur really only has one or two moves, though… at a certain point that adage kind of falls apart. I can’t think of anyone whose playbook is more predictable.

Okay, so what does that say about everyone who’s failed to outsmart him?

And yet they’re seemingly untouchable while their opposition flails around and impotently shakes their fists. Great, they’re dumb and overconfident- they’re still seemingly doing exactly what they need to do in order to “win” and rub everyone else’s nose in it.

If decent people were half as interested in stopping these shitheads as they are in reassuring themselves of their intellectual superiority, the Altmans and Musks of the world might actually have something to fear.

My point is that they aren’t making mistakes. They’re not attempting A but doing B because they don’t know any better. What they are doing is intentional and very often successful.

I don’t understand how people see this kind of thing and think, “this guy is dumb.”

For a decade the world has been seeing constant evidence that when you lie brazenly and repeatedly enough you become untouchable. All one needs to is completely discard the idea of shame. This guy isn’t an idiot- he just knows (probably rightly) that he has everything to gain and nothing to lose by pretending to be.

This was my point

You’re reading me backwards

You’re right, you guys are doing just fine and your inaction certainly won’t make it everyone else’s problem too.

If you’re going to have mass shootings, at least make them righteous.

There’s plenty you can personally do.

But you’re not asking “what can I do”- you’re asking “what can I do that requires no risk or sacrifice on my part?”

You’re fine. The rest of the world expects literally nothing from you and you’re doing an excellent job of doing fuck all.

If you aren’t willing to stand by your values then you never had any

If they’re following these orders, it would be no less than they deserve.

A pre-emptive “womp womp” for every cowardly US soldier that goes along with this and gets domed.

Okay, just go have a nap, then. Surely someone will be along to save you.

Almost as easy as disingenuously dining out on your national legacy of “give me liberty of give me death” and “saving the world from fascists” for a century or two.

“Keyboard warrior” lines coming from Americans who claim to be “the resistance” in 2026 are clown shit. You’re a MAGA enabler and you’re part of the problem.

Great, then it should be no problem for your to get off your asses and deal with this small group of Americans. Unless, you know, you’re a bunch of goddamn cowards?

Because the “opposition” still thinks waving signs and doing parades counts as “action”

“Your country probably sucks”

Interesting how US liberals start sounding like MAGA when someone reminds them that good intentions on their own aren’t sufficient.

I’m assuming you’re American, because it’s very on-brand for Americans to expect someone else to fix their shit for them while they sit by and do nothing (thereby making it everyone else’s problem)
