Aaand they nuked it. They hate fun as much as they hate america.

You missed the best comment where the guy claimed to be a "top petitioner in his state" and was recently asked to give a "lecture on petitioning" to a bunch of people who clearly sucked at petitioning.

A.K.A. the guy most efficient at wasting his own time, and that of those he convinces should also waste their time by jotting down their signature.

Oh, wow. The thread in SSS that he cross posted makes a great follow up. Here it is for anyone that wants some further internet libertarian dramedy.

Every time I see a child lied to (YOU could be an Astronaut someday) I see a little version of myself. No, they can't be an astronaut as long as The State and militaries control access to space.

I like this idea of the state as a massive organization to crush the dreams of children.

I was going to build a spaceship, but the government taxed me and then arrested me for buying large amounts of liquified hydrogen. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY!

Well that's it guys. We've got to start making our children dream of a much, much darker tomorrow. That's how we get governments to stop being dickheads.

It's great when they go to SSS, that's the moment when they've given up and just want their opinions validated.

He does the same shit in r/Columbus too. He spouts some stupid libertarian talking point and then calls in a vote brigade from SSS when people start downvoting him.

Dunno why highschoolers would give a shit about taxes, it's not like they pay them.

I keep reading that as Arachno-Capitalism, and I have to report that the bottom has recently fallen out of the Tarantula market.

You used to be able to sell a Singapore Blue for $400, now you're lucky to get $200, and it's not worth bringing them in anymore.
