You can easily win arguments if you make up facts.

Americans say that the USA didn't have churches in 1776, sex change operations were popular in 1880, divorce was common in 1950, and no homosexuals stayed in the closet in 1960.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.

Americans are retarded.

Americans used to hate the Soviet Union. The USA was successful because of free trade and open borders.

Now Americans scream that the US should become North Korea and ban free trade and close the borders.

How would you feel if you wasted $60 on a plane ticket trying to escape China in 2020, but couldn't board the flight because you didn't get a test or have health insurance?

How would you feel if you couldn't work or travel for 3 years because of government lockdowns and your ATM card and driver license expired?

How would feel if you had to wear useless masks to protect you from the flu?

How would you feel if you wasted $200 on another plane ticket to escape China, but couldn't board the flight because your visa expired and you had to pay a $1500 fine?

How would you feel if you were groped and had to throw away your mouthwash and shampoo when you later tried to get on another airplane?

How would you feel if you had to give your fingerprints to the government when you arrived in Malaysia?

How would you feel when you then wasted $800 on a plane ticket to Canada, but couldn't board because you didn't have an ETA?

How would you feel if you then wasted $16 when you traveled by bus to Bangkok, but couldn't enter Thailand because you can only travel to Thailand by plane and had to waste another $10 to return to Kuala Lumpur?

How would you feel if you finally arrived home and you found out that your best friend died in the Hawaii fires because the Gestapo blocked the roads and was unable to flee and then everyone tells you that the government will keep you safe?

Those who say that the 2020 election was rigged and then turn around and scream taxes must be paid because the government is legit sound like hypocrites.

Americans have no idea the level of evil and depravity they are about to see.

The US has gone too far.

Some are saying that the collapse will last for 40 years, but the Soviet Union lasted for 70 years.

The elites are obviously going all the way.

Expect the Internet to go down, book burnings, nationalizing of property, starvation, show trials, struggle sessions, re-education camps, killing fields, death squads, summary executions, and concentration camps soon.

The USA will be renamed and the US flag and the national anthem will be changed.

Americans are completely insane now.

Americans scream that there would be no unintended consequences if millionaires were taxed at a higher tax rate.

Americans swear that if toothpicks were banned today then there would be no chance tyranny would increase in the future.
