          Not my country, not my lifestyle. But when all those gun nuts give a militia protecting the democracy for an answer to the question why the second amendment is necessary you have to wonder if they started maching by now. Because if not, that argument might be bull.

              I’m not a vegan, nor claim or aim to be one. But if I went about loudly proclaiming that I was, using this to justify my actions, and then it became public knowledge that I am in fact not a vegan, then it would be the same hypocrisy. When a group claims to need weapons to quell a threat to democracy, and then proceeds to ignore the threat when it arises, then they are hypocrites. Hope that helped understand the point - let me know if it did 👍

                I get you, but being a vegan requires zero risk of injury or incarceration.

                Like I told the (much less pleasant) other user, it’s no surprise that people are less brave than they’d like you to believe. That’s just… human nature.

                  Sure, it was them who acted tough for the rewards when there were no risks and now are reluctant to actually take those risks. And this is textbook hypocrisy that deserves to be called out.

                    You’re missing my point and I’m not sure if it’s because you refuse to accept it or you aren’t understanding what I’m writing, so I’ll throw a commonly accepted axiom out:

                    Easier said than done.

              I’m not calling anyone to be brave. I’m calling them to put their money where their mouth is. Twice now, but you seem to not understand.

                You are using synonyms in this context. That’s twice you’ve pretended they’re different. I don’t know why you don’t understand.

                    Interesting to see whatever point you were trying to make could not withstand the overwhelming urge to be an asshole.

        It’s not a coup unless it’s from the Potomac Valley region of the US. Otherwise, it’s just a sparkling crisis.

        It’s a distinction without a difference. It’s an unlawful seizure of power.
