Are we sacrificing something more than apart from freedom to remain in the proverbial sense of “fat, fed and warm” while typing at will?

I certainly included myself in my own critique, lording myself over No One,and always “speaking for myself”.

Blowing past my point seems your forte; 1) that Americans are suffering little to nothing (compared to EU, for only one example); and 2) that “YET” means that when you DO become affected, things will Change, and Americans will react as a united people (off our netherregion and in the town squares); and 3) that the MIL will see a people gathered behind them, enough to risk themselves.

Is there some problem with expressing a “belief”, that you and your other thought monitor should take only what I say, so personally?

If less is more, and info-warfare is Cost Free, but very “educational and informational”, then perhaps we could do even Less— for the war effort. Think how much smarter we will be.

I challenge you to diagram that sentence.

Better yet, provide a Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring with each post.

I apologize for combining two posts into one - I combined my objection to your criticizing FReeQs with my opinion about the 'town square' tactic and military.

I certainly included myself in my own critique, lording myself over No One,and always “speaking for myself”.

No. In the prior critique of FReeQs you placed yourself above us and ignored my questions asking what it was that elevated you above us. You repeatedly referred to FReeQ listlessness and unwillingness to volunteer, while you were posting on a thread of volunteers.

If you were asked to describe yourself, you wouldn't describe yourself that way. You wouldn't say, "I'm too lazy to get off the sofa and lumber down to my polling station". Nor would you say of yourself, "I'm fat, fed, and warm. I'm not sacrificing anything for the cause of freedom. I mostly preen about my brilliance, the substacks I prefer, and what I think I “know”"

Some people write "I include myself" or "we" to set up a defense when criticizing others. Based on your posting, you want to 'motivate' people to do what you think best and 'lumber down' to polling stations instead of posting on FR, or demonstrate for Brazil. You seem to want us to perceive ourselves as unworthy of respect if we do not do as you wish. Your choice of motivational techniques is anchored by ridicule.

This time you technically included yourself. However, once again, you make zero effort to do anything about the problem you see. You don't leave to support those efforts - you stay here and criticize 'us' for not doing them.

It would be just your opinion if you said, for example, "I really believe that we should be supporting Brazil and here's why..." or "Do you think we should..." "See, I think that the problem is that we're too comfortable..." But instead we get a laundry list of our supposed negative attributes if we do not do as you believe we must. The same occurred with your prior ridicule which eliminates contributions ('typing) and delivers insults to those who don't do as you say.

Your use of 'typing at will' indicates that we all should believe as you do, that our information warfare efforts are fake and useless. You've already explained your opinion of information warfare as it is conducted by FReeQS; your need to repeatedly tell us we're doing nothing here but "typing at will", that FReeQ contributions to information are worthless or imaginary, is certainly demotivating and is a commonly repeated accusation among forum trolls.

Though most likely do not agree with you, why else would they remain, you continue to repeat the assertion. I ask why you're here if you think so little of what we do; in the resulting silence, I conclude you want us to leave the thread.

I wouldn't stay among people you descibe.

Your original post was barbed, and pointing to FReeQs. When confronted, you focus only on 'America'.

"We’re fat, fed and warm, sacrificing nothing for their cause, mostly preening about our brilliance, the substacks we prefer, and what we think we “know”. 🧐
(Self included.)"

That quote describes more of your prior voiced opinions about FReeQs than it does about America. Your statements about our supposed laziness. pointless posting ('typing at will), 'what we think we know' etc have diffused into the Q thread over time. Many of us don't agree with your opinion that we are just 'typing' and avoiding opportunities to support our country, our president, our patriots etc.

You refuse to accept that many of us have a separate opinion about 'typing' and continue to criticize us for doing so, with epithets (e.g., preening, lazy etc.).
