    What a disgusting :smuglord:, holy shit.

    "Yeah ok, so I maybe broke your legs, poked your right eye out, cut off a few of your fingers and robbed you blind…

    I’d like to apologize, and look! You’re still alive, so go ahead and pull yourself up by the bootstraps! You’ll do just fine, and maybe one day you’ll have a nice house like me. Hard work makes a person rich after all haha!"

      If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made.

    It’s true though, but not in the way this racist POS thinks. Those colonized nations do have to develop themselves, but it will be by breaking those imperialist shackles first. It’s becoming more and more clear that despite their rhetoric, liberal westerners won’t do the right thing voluntarily. They will shout “land back” but won’t actually give it back in places like South Africa. So the alternative for the oppressed is clear.

    I like how they think nothing’s changing. What a nice surprise they’re in for when their empires can no longer sustain the illusion!

    Also quite telling is their use of a collective ‘us’ and ‘you (plural)’. Most libs try/claim to distance themselves from the actions of their ancestors, but the mask slips when their language shows where they draw lines and which side they picture themselves on.

    Honestly the best thing about federation is the accelerated radicalization among fencesitters cause by liberals showing their whole imperialist ass.

    I was reading that thread and wondering why they hadn’t been down voted to oblivion, then remembered Hexbear doesn’t have them.

    It’s how people are taught to think. Just cause Jim Crowe laws are not around anymore doesn’t mean the impact they had isn’t still in effect.

      There are deadass rexxitors who’ll tell you to your face that none of that matters anymore lmfao

      I’m anticipating just living the rest of my life in a constant state of Reverend Wright. God damn Amerika is all I got for that energy anymore.
