Japheth, I don't know Stephen's friends so I can't speak to that

But certainly one thing I am figuring out in my life right now is who my real friends are

i mean if you have to spread influence to your friends then they're bums to begin with, fuck em

Hard disagree

There are a lot of people who are good who can be made to see the light

Japeth speaks to things he does not know of.. 😤

Japeth could be right.. but we just don't know.. 😅

no i speak of what i know

There are also friends who are conservatives who do not yet do everything in their power to fight the war

No, you speak based on what you know!

i too had friends that were bums and i tried playing the naive game of influencing them or trying to make them see the right things, but it's a futile game

Dan Pena advice - "show me your friends I will show you your future"

I think you and I don't mean the same thing

I'm not saying you try to proselytize to heathens who won't listen

The Book of Proverbs spells out that you are casting your pearls before swine in such cases

i ain't saying that either

I'm just saying, if you have worthy friends

but trying to get them to see the conservative way, it's not gonna happen

Hold onto them

And foster growth

Iron sharpens iron

nah fuck em, the less you rely on people the better off you are

Then you will surely fall at the hands of the leftist tyranny

See, that is speech based on what you know.. Your points have no reference to any of Stephen's friend. You're using your own as an example.

Find good people to be your friends

lol i might fall at their hands, i sure do talk a lot of shit righti n their faces enough

What purpose does that serve other than an easy way out?

You can be rebellious against tyranny on your own, and be cast out like a dog having done nothing but served your own conscience

lol well i am white privileged with a job that takes me through the echelons of power and poverty alike

No such thing as white privilege

lol i know but I love a good pun

I don't understand what you meant then

I kinda.. get it.

Our survival and continued resistance, I believe, is key

Maybe they don't show us mercy and decide to wipe us out

First half jokingly contradicts the second half of the sentence.

But we can be persistent

let me put it this way, last time i went to the coast, i stayed up all night, drove into DC in a candy red Mustang wit hthe top down Murica a/f, stayed up all night ,went to a job site for a former diplomat/current spy to the Middle East

immediately after that job the blatts wanted to go to the DC riots, and we went

I don't know what to really make of that statement, but I hope you are a good person

no man is good
