There’s a concerning amount of gaslighting going on in this thread. There absolutely was and is silencing going on around Tiananmen Square: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#Contemporary_issues

You’re also making assumptions though. And like pointed out elsewhere, mentioning Tiananmen Square still gets silenced so we’re kinda forced to assume one way or another and I generally don’t believe the state that is doing the silencing. That’s not racist and it’s messed up to jump to that accusation so quickly

I want to work on ensuring the left wins in 2 and 4 years. See how that doesn’t lead to mass devastation? Have you stopped to think how each way goes? I don’t want to comply with Johnson holding my state hostage but I will because the alternative is so much worse. I’m done wasting my time on here, you’ve lost your mind if you think California not paying taxes is a remote possibility that doesn’t lead to something so much worse than what we’re dealing with. Go touch grass, you’ve spent way too much time on the Internet

Not wanting to start a civil war does not equate to giving into Trump you clown

What bafflingly stupid evil take. Republicans are evil. Advocating for a civil war is even worse. You don’t give a shit about everyone else that suffers in the collateral damage? And you don’t think that’s evil? This community is fucked

You’re a troll or an idiot if you believe that. A civil war in a country with this man nukes could be the end of humanity and would absolutely cause unbelievable devastation for California even if it somehow won so much worse than paying into federal taxes. That is a lose lose. I would think you’re a Chinese troll but even China would lose one of it’s biggest trade partners and it would be devastating for their economy

You’re essentially arguing for succession. That means civil war. You can assume neither of us survive that if anyone does. This echo chamber has gotten real dumb

That would be a very dangerous escalation. I love the idea of the red states finally finding out but that’s not how that would go unfortunately. We’re in this union for life for the worse.

I don’t think anyone thinks this actually worked right?
