    Brother to the North, fuck you. You’re the same.

    Death staring you in the face, you’d do the same. Do you have kids? A partner? Fancy leaving them or anyone else you love early? Make that decision in mere seconds. Paralysis would take you too.

    Keyboard warrior pointing the finger. Not everyone has so little to live for that they’d throw it away for a notion of standing up for injustice while a gun is staring you in the face. Shit’s not easy. I commend anyone making the choice to do so. But don’t point a finger while you’re not even here. You fucking ignorant pussy

      I’ve served in the Canadian Armed Forces. I’ll bet my house that’s more than anything you’ve ever done. I’ve served my country once and I would do it again tomorrow if it came to it.

      Your projection is so bright it can be seen from space.

        You served in an organized military force with institutional backing, without implied threats to your family based on your conduct. That’s a very different proposition than the choice facing American resistors now, isn’t it?
