    Well one suggestion would be to have some compassion for people living paycheck-to-paycheck and not expect such people to ruin their lives and, worse, their kids lives by doing things that are, at best, highly impractical and, at worse, could leave them destitute. And it’s not just you, you’re just part of a wider group saying things like people should be feeding their kids out of dumpsters if they really wanted to do something about Trump.

    Another would be to suggest that rather than such people growing their own food and saving money they do not have to save, that they take part in collective action and protesting when they are able to do so, rather than on a specific, limited schedule that others who have far more freedom in their lives expect them to follow.

    A third would be to not tell people like the residents of the 13.5% of American households that were food insecure a couple of years ago that they just need to make do with less when there is no less.

            Cool. I’ve read what Dr. King has written. You still asked me for suggestions and ignored them. And the fact that you think Dr. King applies here when we are talking about mostly people of color suffering is ironic as fuck.

                Please quote what I am dictating. I would like to see what I am dictating. Unless you’re lying, of course. I’m betting on the latter, but feel free to prove me wrong.

                I’d also love to know what you think regularly trying to accuse me of being a coward achieves.

                  dictate: Lay down authoritatively; prescribe

                  Like what you did trying to tell people, idk what you’re even trying to tell them, to not arm themselves and get on the train when it’s time? That armed resistant to Nazis is dumb?

                  It’s not an accusation if it’s apparent to everyone. I’m glad you could flee but frankly your risk is now minimized and your opinions on what people still here should do isn’t worth much.

                    Not one quote.

                    So you lied. Got it.

                    And if it is “apparent to everyone” that I am a coward, why keep pointing it out? Also, if that makes me a coward, why are you glad about it?

                Are you seriously calling out someone for having a moment of weakness because he was afraid for the safety of his family?

                What the fuck is wrong with you?
