All I hear is, "I'm doing things that have literally no effect, so I'll keep doing them so I can feel like I've done my part."

OK then. None of that has worked, but I'm sure you can sleep fine at night, while millions of people who until 6 months ago were your friends and allies are terrified that your country will destroy us. But by all means, let's worry about a library. Because history books will stop us from getting invaded.

Also, since you have decided to call me an idiot, I'll return the favour.

You know this isn't about the fucking library right? I have no idea how more clear I could have been. It's really no suprise a nitwit won, because at least he understood the message, even if he literally understands nothing else.

Does any power or water or sewage systems come from the Canadian side? If so, they should be cut off. Not to mention, a fence should be constructed inside to block off American illegals from crossing into Canada. Even better, put a border check point there.

The library will already be ruined. A large part of it is in Canada and is now blocked to Canadians.

You know this isn’t about the fucking library right?

You can't be this stupid. Am I arguing with an actual goldfish right now? Do you instantly forget what you wrote?

All I hear is, “I’m doing things that have literally no effect, so I’ll keep doing them so I can feel like I’ve done my part.”

Yeah I'm doing a hell of a lot more to stop fascism than you bitching on the internet making your country look bad and trying to make it look worse.

I’m sure you can sleep fine at night, while millions of people who until 6 months ago were your friends and allies are terrified that your country will destroy us.

Suggesting that destroying a library is a bad thing makes be culpable of the rise of fascism despite making efforts to resist it. But you doing, I suspect, a lot less somehow absolves you of blame? Are you sure you're thinking straight here?

But by all means, let’s worry about a library.

You mean the entire point of this post and thread??? Yes that's what we're doing. That's the topic of the conversation. Welcome to reason we're typing right now. It's so weird it took you this long to... not realize what we're talking about still? Do you think you stopped talking about when you said:

And you think I give two shits about who uses that fucking library? Resistance at every point, at every opportunity. No inch, no quarter must be given.

Cause "no inch, no quarter" sure seems like you're referencing the library, cause you know, it's several inches. This is just baffling , if you don't think we're talking about the library still you might actually qualify as illiterate at this point.

Nice ad hominem

I'm sorry my point went over your head. That's no reason to lash out.

It's not an ad hominem when you're too stupid to communicate. It's a fundamental issue trying to communicate with you. Sounds like you figured out you were making dumb arguments, tried to pivot by reinterpreting your old comment, but forgot what you wrote. Fuck off and read a book
