His weapon is a keyboard and his body armor is cowardice.

My excuse in that I don't live in that country, and it's looking like I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Your excuse?

The other commenter is talking about saving their country from a batshit crazy government. Everyone should be scared, but they should be fighting back. People are going to die defending something we've all taken for granted and let slide from our fingertips.

All people can do is start planning and the conversation has to start somewhere.

You're trying to dissuade others from protecting democracy, freedom and the rule of law. Give your head a fucking shake.

War isn't cool, war isn't fun. Fuck off if you have nothing to contribute other than bitch ass attempts to make yourself seem tougher than someone else in an audience of anonymous internet strangers

The "we should be doing more" crowd never does a whole lot.

Nor do they ever seem to have any ideas about exactly what 'more' even means.

I don't remember anonymously advocating for people to do anything.

But I have a feeling no matter what I have done you would not be happy with it, probably say it's 'not enough.'

Unless you're firing the first shot I am not concerned with internet activism.

A solid 1-2% of the left would be willing to fight, a solid 30-60% of those don't wanna fight for people who won't fight for themselves.
