And if that’s true, why do we need NATO?

Because even a destitute regional power can still bombard your cities, kill your civilians, and occupy your territory if they're willing to suffer the results.

GLAD YOU COMPREHEND WHY I’M AGAINST THIS NEOLIBERALIST TAKE ON “FREEDOM.” May your WHITE LANDHOLDING Europeans grant you the “freedom” you so crave!

I'm honestly not sure if I'm being trolled right now. In the previous post you were (mistakenly) praising the declaration of independence for providing equal freedom to everybody and now you're against it?

I hope this reading comprehension check works, if not, I hope you get to 12th grade comprehension this year!

Just to let you know, this is the first time you actually explicitly said why the US revolution was proof of anarchism working. Maybe focus less on other people having a reading comprehension level high enough to pull the words out of your mind and actually state your point rather than hiding behind vague statements.

When you know the declaration of independence was made to free everyone, EVEN if colonialists lied to keep slavery.

I'm not going to even engage with your other points because this shows that you're very misinformed regarding the most basic facts of the US revolution. The declaration of independence was never supposed to apply to anyone other than (white) landholding men. Any indian tribes allied with either side were allies of opportunity. The colonists explicitly wanted to expand westward into the indians which the british were against. The british were not oppressing the indians, the colonists were.

I'm not going to engage with your further since you don't seem to understand even your own positions.

So just to nail down the goal posts before you move them again, you believe that native american tribes were anarchistic and because they were involved in the US revolution in some capacity, that makes the US revolution proof that anarchism works?

When people united against a common oppressor.

No offense but I'm not even sure if you know what your politics are. The US rebelled partially because Britain didn't want the colonists to expand West. It had nothing to do with anarchism.

So at what point was the US revolution proof of anarchism working? When the rich landholders rebelled against the king? Or when the rich landholders retainer power after the revolution?

Being asked for evidence that anarchism works and then just linking the US Revolution is an absolutely hilarious display of "Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?".

I just don’t like hypocrites who deem Russia the devil and give a pass to The West while they are literally being an accomplice of genocide right now in Gaza.

Surrendering now is better than losing more and more territories later.

Gaza will not be destroyed later, it will be destroyed if it doesn’t make peace now.

If you’re so brave, why aren’t you at the front lines defending them?

Do I have to have good solutions for climate change and homelessness and drug addiction and wealth inequality and world hunger in order to comment on those, too?

No, but you should either have a more realistic stance than "if one single bad thing happens as a result of it then I don't think we should do it." or stop providing your opinion on the topic.

Nah, I have a problem with both sides.

The most important thing is that you can attack everybody and feel superior to them all.

Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

I'm not fighting for either side, I'm just disagreeing with the assertion that the concert goers who were murdered by Hamas were "sacrificed by Israel".

That's great. What do you think the Israelis should do?
