    It’s not going to fail.

    Your own future-looking statement; 100% predictive.

    *“The power of accurate observation . . .”

    Your comeback, lol.

    “‘Accurate observation’ is only applicable to the present and past. Try harder when borrowing false intellectual authentication from old quotes.”

      Try reading it again and this time, pay attention to the context instead of thinking up edgy shit to respond with.

      I’ll bet it makes more sense.

        Says the month old account full of brief low-effort posts insisting that any resistance will fail. You know, like the one I just called you out on.

        It’s not my comprehension at fault here, kid. It’s your agenda. I don’t want fascism to succeed in my country. You want people to feel too discouraged to even think about resisting. And I’m here to put a cold boot in that wherever I see it.

        Don’t need no old quote for that. And George Bernard Shaw was a questionable source to start with.

        Shaw was a poseur and a puritan; he was similarly a bourgeois and an antibourgeois writer, working for Hearst and posterity; his didacticism is entertaining and his pranks are purposeful; he supports socialism and is tempted by fascism.

        —Leonard Feinberg, The Satirist (2006)

        As I said, try harder.

            Dude. Piefed.world is also a .world account, or hadn’t you noticed?

            Also, seems like you have stopped trying to defend the indefensible, which is a plus. But go ahead, quote another fascist-lite to me in defense of your position.
