As a child I was asthmatic, and so was bullied. But I was also an indomitable spirit, so I fought back. I was left with an absolute hatred for bullies. Flash forward into my mid twenties. I wore a suit to work and had yuppie glasses. I again was the perfect target for bullies. Except there was one problem. I was also a fairly accomplished kickboxer. Didn't look like one at all, so it was perfect cover.

I admit to luring bullies into fuck with me just for the shear joy of beating the living shit out of them. The best part was when their demeanor went from "oh yeah this is gonna be fun!" to "holy shit what did I get myself into?" That moment of terror was worth all of the crap I took as a kid. I submit that these people today are the exact same types. The moment they realize they are actually fighting someone that can fight back well, they'll be on their knees.

Happy Memorial Day, Chris.

Where have all the marksmen gone? Long time passing. Long time ago.

Oh my god, you kill me! And I mean that in the nicest way. You come through every fucking time, helping me release my absolute rage in laughter and a huge smile. Rage on, fellow anti-fascist!

We mean more to you than we could possibly imagine? What a coincidence.

Having lived 68 years, I know for a fact that capitalism can only work when strictly managed and controlled. When “set free”, it quickly becomes a monster that, within a few decades, will devour almost everything - your political system, foreign policy, all small and mid-sized businesses, stable labor, your souls, etc….

One day, this country is going to see its collective reflection and what it will see is….

Donald Trump.

White folks are fine with the way things are, they will not make a substantive stand against this because they will be stripped of their comfort and privilege.

White folks are complicit they will never go on national general strike, you can literally buy and sell their children as sex slaves and they will still do nothing.

verklemptitude! Nice addition to your post. So glad you are still as angry as I am and still as verbally upset as many of us!
