Seriously, I'm so sick of this "let's all just give up" attitude that people post whenever anyone brings up resistance of any kind to the US 'government' shenanigans. Some of it is from propaganda mills and trolls, some of it is just people who want to do absolutely nothing and then later say how they were right all along. It's lazy, self-defeating, and actively harmful.

If they want to give up, then the first thing they should give up is posting their drivel. They can go sit on the couch and watch Fox while reciting their favorite slurs to themselves.

You have to ask, if it's all so futile, why do they bother?
